Can't really do hybrid classes until around lvl 39 or so if memory
serves, not exactly sure been awhile, because at 50 creating a hybrid
class is pretty simple, but I remember around lvl 39 or so I started
combining my MA with Hacker for viral deflection
:smileytongue: But as for your questions:
1. What exactly does analyze weakness do?
It does exactly that, you have to run up fairly close to do it, but
what it'll do is lower their resistance so they take more dmg from
attacks. Very useful, but not the wisest thing to use if you're solo
because it burns time having to run up to the enemy and the animation
for it is slow, and of course, makes you uncomfortably close to the
enemy (or enemies which is worse for obvious reasons).
2. What are some of your strategies in solo and pvp?
Now that's a secret
:smileytongue: But really it isn't that hard to come up with one by simply reading what each ability does and testing them out
:smileytongue:
3. What are some must have buffs and where can i loot them as opposed to having to buy them? (remember, i'm broke

)
Good question, honestly I'm not sure, but most crafters will charge you
only for the cost of making an item so long as you give them the red
frag (if required) needed for making it. I don't know much anything
about male RSI clothes, but your faction mates or the faction you join
should be able to help you out with that.
4. In PVP, doesnt' your opponent see your ghostly image which causes him to move therefore negating your attack?
Depends on their Preception, the higher their Preception the higher
their chance for detecting you, although the higher your Focus the less
likely they'll detect you. Preception raises Concealment detection
while Focus increases stealth. But for the most part, they won't see
you, but the closer you get to them the greater the chance they have of
detecting you, and once they spot you then you're stealth is popped and
you'll become visible to everyone. Or the closer you get to them the
more likely they'll see your "ghostly image" regardless of detecting
you or not, so it's generally a good idea to keep a fair distance away
from enemies to avoid being spotted.
"I played with some higher levels and found myself doing the following
sequence sneak-analyze weakness-punt-repeat. Is this about right?"
Yup
:smileywink: That is also the best thing you can do,
learning from the higher levels, especially from the lvl 50s who PvP
avidly from your faction, crew, and/or organization. Have fun out there
:smileytongue:
