Thread: What are your tactics for hunting krayts/small areas/pvp???
Krayts... electroylte drain and kite.
DWB, thyroid rupture the range NPCs and shock and get a Pistoleer or PIkeman to intimidate them
Those Doc buffs are great, but you have to know how to use them.

thanks alot badger but one thing i don't understand what you mean is when you say you need to know how to use the doctor buffs. How does that make sense because you just apply them to yourself and a way you go?
speed buff
have to know when and when not to use it... makes you eat through action/mind faster and draw more agro
also whether or not buff is worht applying....
and dot's are great, just don't use them and expect to get a paralyze in
Keorythe, i think you underestimate the effectivness of doctor buffs
while all content can be done without them they are a great asset if used correctly....
for instance, the 10 percent mind regen.... without it my mind would take longer to regen and i couldn't get off as many debuffs/dot's in a similar amount of time without sitting.... while in a 1on1 fight this is mitagatble unless you are paralyzing it is still effective... and same goes for action regen 
as for my comment on the attack speed buff... what I ment was....
your cooldown timers are significintly faster... which means you will attack more often, and use up more mind/action depending on move
while this is helpfull you have to be mindfull of your bars...
but if you are more interested in PvP i suguest going with one of Keorythe's templets to finish it off... while the buff's help in group content, and to a lesser extent solo content, in PvP mainly usefull for group PvP...
And i'm gonna try an afformentioned and proven technique for soloing krayts/gorax.... snare and kite
on an Ancient Krayt tonight..... easily done all the other krayt's and the gorax..... figured out what was holding me up when i tried before

hmm thats interesting...anybody want to explain that 2 lol sorry that im such a tool atm
As the previous poster mentioned, if you are not geared to use doctor buffs, particularly the adrenal boost then you will spam away your action in combat.
If you are geared to use them, meaning that you use low SAC weapons with SAC reduction powerups called "reinforced stocks" then you can shoot at pretty much the CU "speedcap" with minimal action drain.
I have found myself in the situation where I can use adrenal buff as a grief tool, but not delibereately. I solo ancient krayts quite often looking for tissues for more guns, and saw a rifleman soloing an ancient with ranged arms, stopping shot and knee cap.
I buffed him with adrenal boost amongst the other buffs, just to be helpful, but he spammed all his action away and moaned at me because of it. 
In the right hands, that buff completely negates the need for any speed mods and is extremely powerful.
With my reinforced stock powered up 47 SAC, 930 Max damage FW FWG5 I can do bodyshot and quickdraw every three seconds for a minute and a half with Doc buffs, thats a lot of damage.
. But this leaves them stuck on the ground without the action to use KD recover for up to 15-20 seconds in which time its fairly easy to incap them

I feel silly asking but new to combat medic.. on kratys and such seems the range is very small how do you apply it and not get the big attack i hear about. and a side note what was that food that give a bonus to accuarcy?
You run up to them while spamming the paralyze button until it sticks. You'll have to risk getting hit once unless you have a friend who can draw the leezurd's attention from you.
