I'm a TKM with novice medic. Obviously I'll be dropping commando now that the grind is over. ( /cheer /patback) I was thinking of Master fencer but I hear Master swordsman might be good also. I play at weird times and don't have alot of in game friends. So in case I have to tackle this one by myself I want to make sure I have a good template to take it on. Even if it's possible! Thank you for your time and input. /hi5

I took him with Master Rifles and a bit of TK. The TK came in handy when his sidekick came after me, I didn't know he would do that ... at least it forewarned me that Mel would do the same. Conceal shot is your friend if you do it that way...

I've yet to see anyone solo this mission hehe. Theoretically a rifleman would come closest since he can concealshot everything to death (this would take a LOOOOOOOOOONG time), but a lone rifleman cannot take out the crystals as they regen too fast. I helped someone do their mission and we had two or three rifleman that just couldn't get the crystals down low enough. Not even counting the crystals Mel and his right-hand man are tough SOBs I've not seen even the best stacked template solo. My suggestion would be to get a few rifleman, some melee tanks, a doc and a jedi or two ftw. Jedi will rip Mel and his henchmen up pretty good.

Ask whoever you can find. It's not too difficult for a fewpeople to take 10 minutes to come help kill him with you. But do have at least one doctor, and a few good Jedi if possible. Sabers seem to make everything a little easier.

With TKA they are quite easy. Take out the red crystals but have your bike standing by. More Sith will spawn, go a distance(but not too far, you don't want it to reset itself) and peace out. Come back and start lureing a few Sith at a time to you. At a certain point you'll have to take out Mel's sidekick, intimidate him and make sure he stays that way. It'll take a little bit but you can take him since he has no force powers. Now it's just you and Mel...
Get your bikes out or make sure you have that burst run food(I lost 2 swoops battling this guy) Next get a Republic Blaster with the bleed mod and power ups. Then, well you guessed it, just start shooting. He doesn't seem to be able to run while bleeding so for the most part you can keep ahead of him but he will still throw out force choke and the like and from time to time go after the bikes. With the right foods, buffs and a bit of luck you can do it. It took me 1 hour and 5 minutes to do the whole quests from the time I got my buff. But I failed several times before trying this method. Of course I might just have been lucky... give it a try and let us know.
I was able to solo Mel as MSwords/MDoc with a combat droid tanking for me. As MTaffin wrote, just lure him away from the camp, double back and destroy the crystals and all of his henchman, and then take him out. Take off your armor when fighting him, since it does nothing vs. lightsabers. Might take a few attempts, but it was great fun and quite challenging to take him on solo.

I've solo'd it with TKM/mRifleman template, and also done it with a swordsman groupmate(MUCH EASIER). Eventhough you can do it solo with TKM/Rifleman it's still is nice to have a master swordsman with you when you take on mellichae. If you don't have a good tank have your bike handy because you are gonna have to run at times.

I did it with a jedi knight. he was a MLS 4004healer 4004 enhance rest in defender (not sure where) I was a master sword master TKA 4240 medic
the jedi started in in the crystals I went after the sith while the jedi had mal and his buddy agrod.. wiped out most of the sith and mal and the sidekick chased off the jedi (he wasnt payin atention and ran outa force) I finished off the crystals by that pont the jedi had channeld a couple times and had killd the sidekick. I can and engaged mal. did prety lousy at first vs that saber with my power hamer, did fine once i took off the armor and switched to VK's. took a while to beat mal down but it worked (jedi kept runin outa force)

i dont know what the person that said you couldn't take down mel's crystals as m. rifleman was talking about. that's how it works whether youre in a group or solo. M.Rifleman is always handy in the group so they can take down the crystals.

" but it was great fun and quite challenging to take him on solo. "
That it was and it actually felt like you'd proved something and deserved to move on to being a Jedi. Sort of a right of passage. It didn't hurt that I looted a +14 Polearm damage AA. Hopefully that will work nicely after the CU.

Nice AA
Nice to know too that he can be solo'd. I'd only helped a buddy with his mission so my experiences with it are limited, but yeah we had two or three master riflemen using concealshot and they couldn't take out one crystal working on it together..somehow when they had it like 3/4 down it would get replentished....maybe one of the thugs was fixing it...<shrugs> who knows.

They were shooting the wrong crystal. One of the 4 will not regen. Take it out and the others will not regen.
