Novice Doc (for heals states)
Novice Brawler (for intimidate)

Well i've already had some success against giants...the dizzy/knockdown sucks but can be managed (ussually) by spamming stand and heal. Im counting on heal state to help me with this as well but havent tried it yet. Intimidate is a must I know. I've already soloed one without the aid of poisons. What im asking is how to best apply poisons/disease to the beast to help compliment the skills I already have and kill the thing quicker before my luck runs out. I understand the perils of fighting these guys, i'm just looking for any helpful advice on how to best use my CM skills.

Disease, then kite.
Only way to solo a krayt with that template.

Well im a little disappointed in you fellas...i just soloed a giant canyon and a regular canyon. Knockdown food was key with the giant. Didnt even have to kite him. Just stood my ground, kept it intimidated and used lots of stim E's. Poison/Disease seemed to help but i'm not sure it made a huge difference. Of course any extra damage in a 25 min fight helps. So for those that thought it impossible...your wrong.

Its definatley not impossible. It's done all the time with a 3004 doc /4004 CM / MR. I dont even have the intimidate. just clear your dizzy, I have two seperate macros, one is clear combat queue; heal dizzy, for when you are dizzy but still standing, and the clear combat queue; stand; heal dizzy macro is great for when hes got you down. Poisons help BIGTIME. Stack the load of them on him diseases too. Alot of times I use the health targets and then just spam strafe. (make sure the backgroud is clear, these days your liable to hit others.)

Ridiculous. I can solo anything butan ancient, and my current template doesn't even have CM in it anymore (my alt is a CM crafter).
Conceal shot is your friend 
The intimidate is a huge bonus too - conceal him till he bleeds, when he bleeds immediately throw all of your HEALTH diseases and psns on him, intim, and strafe ftw.

Conceal shot till he charges you, drop your full disease spread followed by your full poison spread. From time to time spam a few strings of MINDhit1.
Conceal shot is a random pool and you may succeed in killing it alone this way. Straight tanking it is dumb unless you have to. The key is BF. Poisons aren't affected by it by your rifleman shots which do the most overall damage are affected. A full disease spread including health and action will help reach that magic 1k. MINDshot is a bleed but it also causes wounds and jacks up BF ALOT. A straight 30sec string of nothing but mindshot2 can literallyjack up 300BF. Headshot3 isn't as powerful as strafeshot2 but it concentrates on a single pool instead of spreading over all three. The other thing you have to worry about is the dizzy/KD but the novice doctor you can have a macro set to yank those off of you. Just have lots of cure packs in your inventory.
Oh btw, juveniles drop pearls and tissue as well. One preminum and one flawless (oops was another premi) from last night. The loot tables are all over the place.

My post was in relation to CM, yours in relation to Rifleman. Krayts have a KD attack, and with riflemans uber defences mods... o wait, they have none, you will rip apart your own mind while trying to heal the 300-900 Dmg attacks it does with a full suit of armor. Not to mention, 1/6 Shots usually hit mind, and it attacks at a 1.5-2.0 speed, so therefor as a Rifleman alone, without any other skills, your screwed.
Strafe a Krayt? LOL. If you can do this, without agro'ing every other Krayt, Tusken, and Ryl Lairs then props to you. CM can take down krayts, if they have some sort of tanking abilities.

How exactly do you clear the queue with a macro? I've seen this before, but I can't find the command in the list that comes up when you type //.
