According to SWGCreatures.com, Enraged Rancors have 100% Heat resistance. But that'ssilly cause I can visually SEE it's HAM dropping when I shoot it. If I'm doing damage, shouldn't I get XP regardless of the mobs resists?


If I'm wrong, I'd be glad to be corrected.





Uhh...100% heat resist is that ONLY burn can kill it. Therefore you hit it for 0 every time, since it subtracts all other damage. I've killed 100% heat resists, no xp. Sure as hell are hard to solo without buffs/armor/pets/healing too...till you master that is.

Interesting addition to the problem....


Switching weapons to HAR or Launcher either before, after, or both with flamethrower in the middle still gets no damage. At this point, my assumption is that due to Rancors having 100% heat resistance, even though I CAN damage them with a flamethrower (heck, I can TORCH them heheh) I get NO XP. So it's almost like resistance=XP. If it's 100% resistant, you get no XP.


Now surely there's got to be ONE other Commando who reads these boards who hunts an Enraged Rancor on occaision. Nobody else has seen this specifically?



On a side note. Hit flame 4 and field tactics 2 last night... I am LOVING Commando. Can't wait to get to master. And no, I'm not Holo chasing. I'm sticking around. =)
