Have you tried combat without combat skills? With absolutely no combat skills and only my probot for support I'm able to take down everything from about desert demons down. Is this everything that might be camping next to you're harvester? No, but if you can kill anything that might be near you're harvester then whats the point in anyone taking up a combat profession? Why should you expect someone with absolutely no combat skills to be able to take down grauls or dune lizards?



Now Jenden, even from you thats an outright lie. NO WAY can you and your probot take out a Desert Demon Mob without combat skills in another profession.



I will Happily visit you on your server to see this as a fact..but it isn't, its just plain Bull. When you eggagerate your case, yo go too far man..into the realms of silly. I was born on Tatooine..those Demons eat you for a snack.

It takes some doing, but when you can hit all 3-4 of the desert demons for 800 or so points of damage a piece with C12 frag grenades (no cert required) while the probot holds them off (a probot for medium armor will easily hold of some desert demons for probably a good 2 minutes), you can take them out with very little risk.The other option is to use a high quality republic blaster (with no combat skills you can do a couple hundred points of damage a shot, plus the new ones have the built in bleeds), this is a bit more reliable (grenades just aren't accurate enough) but doesn't work against larger groups.


Oh, also, if thats still not working for you, throw on a few pieces of armor (head, chest, and legs usually does the trick and you don't need to be buffed for just that) and you shouldn't have any problem whatsoever.

Well salute to you..but I still want to see it before I believe it


You really think thats a way for a DE to live? Just about manage Desert Demons on a harvester run?


Hmm, forgive me, but your fun threshold is lower than mine.



I want an invite to see these miracles..please call me. Chimeara will do it, I'm mostly there these days

Lol Jenden, we are discussing this on multiple threads.


Suffice to say, I can outdo you in combat from what you have said..thats choice so no flames ok.


What is this constant thing about weapons xp? I stopped caring about xp months and months ago..its what newbies do isn't it?


If your up to it you are on for the challenge, you can use my very own probot, and a nice sliced Republic. We will go find some demons near Bestine and you will die. Dont talk down to me, of course I have at least novice medic, thats a forgone isnt it, even from your point of view (bearing in mind all your arguments are based on a skillpoint pool that is bigger than mine without the spending on Master Artisan)


You are losing already ..but it will be fun to watch. If I was you I'd back out now with some clever argument, cos there is no way you can win on Chimaera. They will eat you and spit the bones.

Shian, I'm just a 1-0-0-0 Novice Rifleman and I can easily - and I do mean easily - take down an Ancient Bull Rancor that has 23k HAM. I'm 100% positive that I could use the same technique to take down a Desert Demon with no combat skills whatsoever as long as I was given a top-of-the-line weapon. I'm also a Wookiee who can't wear armor.


Give me armor, novice Medic, and some stimpacks and it wouldn't even be close.


Want to know the key? It's a speederbike. A Desert Demon can't kill me if I can simply run away and heal any time I need to.

What does being a DE have to do with it? What special priveleges does a DE get? None apparently, since the devs don't seem to be chomping at the bit to give DEs high level combat droids. You may not be concerned about balance, but they certainly are. If the reason to give DEs combat droids that nobody else could use was so they'd be safe on harvester runs, then they'd have to give every crafter these combat droids, as they're no less safe than DEs while they're making their own harvester runs.


Also, if your idea of fun consists of killing things, why on earthdid you take up a crafting profession?

didn't mean to imply anything with weapons xp, just throwig commenting that they might as well not be there if anyone could take them out.


And I don't back down from challenges, I am a bit busy lately but I should have some time Sunday if you're up for it. Just let me know what city to start in.

If you want combat droids, don't waste your time posting here. Send private messages directly to Runesabre, Thunderheart, and JustG. If you fill up their inboxes, they may become convinced to change directions.

And don't believe every fabrication your told here. Some of the fish stories are a bit much.

Or they might ignore you for spamming them, or worse they might ban you for harrassing them and wasting their time.


Yes Arden, your fish storiesand conspiracy theoriesare a bit much. But keep telling them! It helps pass the time.
