Just wanted to Send out a WOOT WOOT to all saying it feals REALLY GOOD to solo an AT ST

How the fck did you do that if you arent lying.

Promise I'm not lying. Its all about hit and run and technique.

Use the non AOE Health Poison.(Experiment it to a 235 or higher ... dont bump up potency unless you have capped your effectivness Experiment bar)

Get just within range (my average is 53m) Throw it. If it does not apply the AT ST will not aggro.

When it does stick have burst already set ,,,,, and run like hell untill it stops tracking you.

Sit and wait...watch that HAM bar...patience is a virtue. Make sure to get one shot on it just before it goes down and you will see some glorious XP.

And for all the Nerf babies....being patient doesnt make it a Grief!!

or you can just conceal shot it, but it takes awhile.

how much xp and or faction points did you get?

I used Mind Poison to take them down. So far I have been able to take out 2 of them. These are the NPC spawn ones, not a player's pet. However, I found that the At-St didn't aggro me as long as I didn't have a TEF. I just stood there and watched it die! I have some pretty neat screenshots of it. It can be done, it just takes a little time.

MInd poison sometimes gets the message "You can not apply poison to this target" but Health poison will work too.

Hmmm if this doesent cry fix I don't know what does. They need to improve AI so that NPC's will attack you if you use poison. They also need to make AT ST'S invulnerable to poison/disease for obvious reasons.

Lets hope they fix this soon.

I've taken out 35 npc at-sts already, of course my mission difficulty now 25 so i no longer bet them in missions

all you have to do is put a poison on it.. it doesnt aggro, there is no need to burst away.. it doesnt track you... all mission npcs do not aggro with application of poison... i sit right next to the at-st poisoning him til his health is under 100 or less.. back away, shot it once.. either kill it if its health is low enough or get incapped but it dies due to poison before it gets to slay you... its simple

but you have to shot them at least once, even if you do not kill him with that shot, otherwise you will not be awarded any xp ... you get about 4520xp and 452 combat xp per at-st

Any MCM should be able to solo an AT-ST with out any exploits or bugs. I am sure it take alot of talent to just stand next to an AT-ST, toss'n posions and waiting for it to die... blahh

Solo'n non-player AT-Sts are not that hard.I do it with a probot and a health posion bout 96 potency and hmm for got what the other stats are aff hand. I usually do about 250-300 damage with my PvE posions and can toss them bout 50-55m. I stand out at about 80m or so and tell my probot to attackwhile running in to posion range. With a little luck on timming the probot will start to file at the at-st making the at-st target the probot, after the probot fires its first shot toss your posion and run out of range back to 70m or so and wait for the posion to work. The probot will take a hit or two but dont count on much more then that. I usually do not use burst lessI get hit by the at-st. You can let the at-st fall to the ground from posion damage but you get nada for that really. I tend to take a few shots on each posion run and a few when I think I can get away with it. Faction sucks but sometimes getting that at-st out of the way is the goal.

I am sure that there are several other ways out there to kill at-sts with out the bug/exploit. from everything I have seen in this game yet, a MCM should be able to kill just bout any mob out there, its all a matter of buy'n time for your posions to work and the challenge of not get'n kill'd and using exploits.

Yep .. didnt mean to make it a "bragin" statement with this post. I have been very upset with all the issues CM has. Just made me feel good to be able to add something in battle other than heals.

As far as a fix, You dont always know you have been poisoned until it is too late. I'm 50/50 on whether it should cause them to aggro or not. Also, YES an AT ST should be able to be poisoned. Remember it is NOT a robot, droid, probot ect.. IT is a Vehicle withfleshy substance pilots. You are poisoning them, not the machine. In the SciFi of Star Wars, you can bet that a gas that has no odor or color can be made and can be applied to the target without its knowledge.

I just suggest that doctors pay attention. CM's broaden you business. You dont just have to heal wounds anymore.

Oh shut up and play with your bricks.

I am up to my 7th Atst and it does take a while. But before all your griefers and nerf herders come running into the thread. It took me about 2 hours to kill that atst. Using pretty strong poisons.

So before you go off the deep end thinking that C.Medics can solo Pc ATSTs easily. I will be the first to tell you that we cant.

But we candrop you pretty good while the commando comes in behind us andtakes out your little chicken walker.

and your next test my young padawan is to solo a krayt dragon.

To be honest, though it seems kinda retarded to be able to poison/disease a machine. I wish they would make AT STs non healable, and you'd need a repair droid and a weekly maintenance on it. say like 100 units of lubricant oil or something along those lines. Dont get me wrong, i got 2 of them, Just isnt star warsy to be able to heal them or lol enhance them. Wouldnt mind seeing them immune to that freakin fire dot from the flamethrowers. And no, I dont use mine in PVP either. Unless some clown attacks me while i'm doing faction missions, then its a different story.
