Watching yor prenerf probot named Stryker bite the dust while youre incapped - Very Very Sad

The 489 Scouting XP for harvesting the meat of the B1tch Klinik Queen that did it- Not Enough

So im on Yavin 4 hunting Mamiens.I can solo a Male Mamien but being a TKA i take quite a bit of damage, so i have a Cowardly Gurrek named Thor and my prenerf out to help things along. I tank for my pets, not caring much for a blaster i take the brunt of the damage (i deal quite a bit too) and the pets help out with a few hundred points of damage.

I was doing pretty well with unarmed XP and making some steam with Ranger harvesting and camping. The mamiens are thinning out in the area so i target teh first available thing. I see a Kliknik Warrior about 80m away, draw my scout blaster to get in range and call him to me. I Maskscent, walk slowly over there.. my scout blaster fires... the Warrior doesnt move at all. Instead, A Queen (ie b1tch) kliknik comes out of freaking no where and starts to run towards me. Now im not alone here. I have a guy going for bounty hunter with me, he has a wrix for a pet. There is a Droid Engineer in the area named Epav thats there too doing some reporting for a website.

I target the queen and equip my VK's.... im doing nothing to this thing. Her HAM is barely moving towards the left and my HAM is almost gone. I say "kill" to make my droid and cow.gurrek attack. 2 seconds later im incapped. Thor... the gurrek is incapped very quickly next. Stryker... the prenerf, was taking a beating but he was hanging in there. I get up from incap. /reg (to enable trandoshan regeneration that doesnt do alot but helps alittle).... i open the Data Pad.. and try my damndest to store Stryker but its just not working. Sometimes i can store him when he is in battle... but the Scorekeeper (Trandoshan female Deity) had other ideas. I start firing at the Queen... she noticed and starts to spit crap at me. My mission to pull her off Stryker was successful. It takes her no time at all to incap me AGAIN. Grady, his pets, and Epav have also fallen. I lay there on the ground helpless as my bot is torn to shreds.

To add insult to injury, the whore queen comes to each of us and slays us. Me being a dumbbutt, i didnt clone there so my ham is screwed. We found her and destroyed her.. but it wasnt enough. Luckily a Crystal Snake found me to send me and my friends back to the cloning center AGAIN..... it just wasnt my day. I have been on Yavin 4 hunting Mamiens for 4 days but this is the first time ive had this kind of trouble.

Moral of the story? Epav gave (yes GAVE) me another probot. Stryker's armor was just like with 40% resist. the new bots is Medium with 15% resist. The HAM is alot lower at 810 compared to Stryker's 3150... and the attack is 100 pts lower... but the price was MUCH better ...still, perma DEATH on a droid is retarded.... very retarded.

At least yours died fighting.

Mine just... stopped following me one day, then while I'm trying to store it/get it to follow me... it just disappears, and it disappeared from my datapad.

Poof. Haven't touched DE since.

Ah, SWGcraft.com was the site, couldnt remember it for the life of me and really wanted to give you some advertising. Epav here is a great guy

I did forget about the first probot epav made for me that died very quickly. Im being more careful with this third Stryker

I lost one of my 2 pre-nerfs today on Lok. I feel your pain.

Smokintodd out.

I happened to be around researching resources to put up on http://swgcraft.com, when I happened into MochloD and Grady. I sold a couple droids and chatted about his pre-nerf probot (drool). Long story short, nasty bug decided it wanted everyone for lunch and ended up that we were all on the Queen's plate...includnig the pre-nerf probot.

Out of sadness for the loss, I donated a probot to him (*2 after first one went down with another onslaught of bugs) to help console the loss which we all feel. Hated to see Stryker go.
