Ok so I know that with the new CURB that grinding in a group is so very much quicker way to get xp, but there are times when I just want to go and hunt things on my own, and my toon is a M Carbine/M Pistol/ 2/4/0/3 Rifleman, Do you have any comments as to what would be the best thing to hunt, that not only does not BAF (Bring A Frind) and that I don't have to worry to much about the healing, either wild spawns or nests. Any help would be very helpful thanks folks.

Fight critters that don't aggro, like Bols on Dant. so you can take one at a time....otherwise you are DEAD

What's a list of the most commonly known Mobs that don't aggro on most planets that have the high CL but less HAM?

i AOE grind on lairs .... can agro up to 2 lairs and kite them while alterning fullauto/suppression/(dunno the pistoleer aoe ... tons of xp in few minutes (cool lookin if 20x 6000xp labels pop up ) ... and it wont suck your action so u can use dmg pup instead of sac one

finish < 3 mobs left as usualand wait for respawn


full group of carbineers = uberfast exp


(i think if xp nerf will come back this is the fastest way to expsolo )

Take missions and the CL adjusts to you or the group....Bols and Fierce Piket Protectors are my favorites

i think missions are ineffective while not grouped too few mobs and only 2 at a time ... find your CL mob lair ... imho (easy on tatoo - SW - dewbacks, bathas, eopies, rontos - CL about 80)

Yeah I agree, taking missions when soloing is not really the way to go, but an interesting thing that I have been running into, I have had like up to three spawn for the initial guards to the lair, but if you go about 2-300 meters away from the mission or at least far enough for it to despawn, and then return I have seen several (about 80%) where you get an initial double spawn of creatures. like say six, then when you tap the lair only three come out, so that might be a way to do those. But with the whole Aakuan (yes I know I spelled it wrong, 2 hours sleep and currently not in game) the guys from talus the ones that have the resists clothing and rings. the way people were farming those to get the skill tapes and AA's use that on the lairs, killing the initial spawns, tap lair kill first and second spawn, then going to the second mission waypoint and then go back and forth, as a way to get maxed xp from just doing missions.


Going all ranged though doesn't leave you much in the way of skill points towards healing unless you go the whoel ruby/stim route but at times that can get a little hairy with BAFing spawns (pikets) less so with bols. So yeah is there a mob out there that would have a lower HAM than others of the same CL? Like Bols 8000 HAM and Pikets 10k HAM, or vice versa. I guess what I'm looking for is a MOB that has low HAM and doesn't BAF.

Find a player city not close to an NPC city and pull mission right at your level. As others said pull dumb melee mobs without secondary ranged attacks, like dewbacks, banthas,rontoetc. If you can find a city in flat terrain that is a huge time saver. Nothing sucks like trying to kite in mountain|hill areas do to LoS issues ,and if you don't have terrain negotiation, crawling up inclines.

I have a low SAC carb and can now kite groups of melee creatures by alternating imp full area auto with imp spray shot. You might be able to get away with it using imp fan shot with imp full area auto. The key is to pull from max distance, to be kiting melee creatures without secondary ranged attacks, and to do it in flat clear areas. There are a few areas like that in SW Tatooine below Bestine. Look for player cities there and pull missions in areas that don't have terrain neg and LoS issues.

When I was grinding Carbineer, I often went alone into the jungles of Yavin to hunt. But that was just me.
