Thread: A guide to soloing Krayts
Why no mention of deseases? Are Krayts more immune to deseases? I like the idea of Using mind poison C and willpoweror focusdesease C so that your mind poison becomes more effective as it's secondary stats are knocked down.
Acouple of issues - first, I don't believe that poison damage (or any damage) is affected by secondary stats of the target. Wound damage is affected by the target's battle fatigue, and in the case of PCs HAM costs and regen are affected by secondary stats, but my 200 effectiveness poison is going to do 400 damage a tick regardless of where your secondaries are. As far as I know, secondary poisons have no value in PvE at all.
Second, you could stack a mind disease with a mind poison and kill the krayt, but then you wouldn't get loot rights (unless you did some weapons damage), so you're better off stacking multiple poisons to the same stat and shooting them when they get to +1.
i'm not much of a krayt-soloer (i'm a big wimp), but as i've heard from a few that krayts have now 300k ham. i'm not sure which type of krayt they meant, prehaps i'll go take a look in tat later today.
i also heard that many of the "big" mobs are now "beefed up".
i had enough trouble killing an albatross today as is (even with a bunch of people), and those are only 59-65k ham.
I cant say that, I play on TC rarely from my friends account, and he has no CM chars.
But i saw man in full CSR-given uber kinetic RIS tanking postpatch krayts easily while two riflemans spamming headshots from distance. Anyway, maybe its time to switch either to resit-sliced composite, kinetic RIS or some more exotic like RIS+NS composites. I'm happyeven juvi krayts finaly became a real challenge. Now its time to confirm loot changes, but from rumors now loot is awesome, one night in tusken bunker resultet in full backpack of decent skill-moded tusken clothes. Dunno what will be done with krayt loot ...
Its time, its time.Killed my last 11 giant krayts yesterday and fully prepared for today patch. Stay tuned, I will be the first to solo postpatch krayt 
PS. Unconfirmed, but quite trustworthy - krayts have 100% loot drop chance, minimum on armor segments is 30%, much greater chance to get exceptional weapon/armor or skill tape, and more than one pearl. Thats what i heard from TC friends.
Someone posted about diseasing the beasts to lower their secondaires.
As an old Bio-engi I can tell you that critters actually have very low secondaires to compensate for them being HAM balls. It was not uncommon to make a Kahmurra that only had 45 to its secondaires.
Critters are not meant to regen like we do hence the low secondaries(think i spelt it right this time) also disease would only effect their specials if they used them.
Theoreticaly - possible. Practicaly - no more true solo. Only house/pathfinding/harvester/pet bug abuse 
. It takes whole 8 full rounds of my best poisons/diseases and more than20 bleeds to kill a 450k HAM beast.
