oooo let's give the dragons fire breath...and maybe make some with cold breath attacks and lightning. Hey and since they are dragons they must be magical, so maybe they can cast some spells too, or perhaps polymorph into a humanoid and then they use a ranged weapons

When I started Bounty Hunter it required 217 skill points and there weren't any Jedi yet...so back then it wasn't just another class. And I've retemplated 4 times, messing with pistoleer, carbineer, and rifleman before grinding Combat Medic back again. Now given that time and my force sensativity and all my XP being capped for several months now I could have been a Jedi easily, and if grinding was on my mind I'd be full template. So what I always loved Boba Fett =) And soloing Krayt for me isn't easy because if I miss the KD shot when I'm charging to get within 10 to snare em, I take damage faster than I can heal it. Bottom line. Whoever said soloing krayts is easy probably seen a ranged guy do it and haven't actually done it themselves. Anything a Jedi can solo I can solo it's just a fact, I'm smarter than any Krayt Dragon, hence I can out think it hence defeat it. Why doesn't anyone complain about people like me soloing Gorax, or Acklay? Hell, when my group wiped I soloed one of NK Necrosis's add cronies and then rezzed the two master defenders (that could take NK might I add).

Krayt dragons are never easy, unless you just zerg em with a ton of people, and then even half the noobs would die. Nah, sofar right now as it stands they're harder than anything else I can think of, harder than Nightsisters, Gorax, Acklay or anything else in Geonosian Labs...freakin anything except NK and DWB which is retarded hard now. Retarded hard.

If you want something to be retarded hard, go to DWB. Don't get the rest of the content broken like that place is.

I am a rifles, pistols, smugler. Before the puml 19 came out i did solo all up to giant's but now i can only solo adalecents. The new power lvl's and the nerf on root has stopped ranged from soloing everything. yes before i even soloed djm's with chain root and a 1298 rifle. but now it just doesnt do the job with the higher end mobs. i have found ways to work around that solo but its not usual. and i think it sould not be. even loosing my uber mob killer status im all for the lvl corections. i did it but i never truely considered anyone should be abble to be a dragon slayer in this game, it just doesnt play into the whole world set. i think loosing the uber smuglers root has accualy made me better.

krayte dragons are not ment to be solo'd.



So if I'm lvl 80 and I see a lvl 78 Juvi Krayt I should look at it & go "It is obviously too tough for me, I'd better leave".

It is level 78, I'm level 80, by definition I am tougher than the krayt, if I can't solo it I'm doing something wrong.

If I'm not allowed to solo stuff that's the same level as me, I won't even be able to pull standard missions in the future since they all spawn around my combat level.

i can see the problem here...people saying they arent able to solo krayts...I solo them SOOOO easy with my BH/Rifles alt.


1. Root, when root wears off snare, when snare wears off root...and so on


2. i use 1130dm heal Stim Ds, and Ruby Bliel..although i rarely get hurt at all...


3. Krayts have to be kited, I use Improved head shot/critical shot for my power attacks...



With this method i can solo a lvl 94 Ancient Krayt dragon easily..takes time...but its no problem at all

anybody else remember a time when a group of 20 would attack a krayt . . . . and only 3 people would survive?


Those were the days

Before, melee outdamaged rangeda lot of the ranged people cried until now ranged out damages melee. If you are tired of getting outdamaged, or other people killing stuff you can't, shut up and change temps. As it is now, I do more dmg with a pistol using ranged shot, not even novice marksman than I do at master tk with my strongest attack and 500+ dmg vk (doing 100 dmg to anything) Does that sound like a balance? The more people cry about someone being stronger, the more the game is going to be put out of wack.

Blaster fist use vibro motors and blaster handlers in the schematic...those in a Nightsister energy motor (can you? never found the schematic yet) and Krayt enhanced blaster handlers, and you have a mean TK weapon.

hehe you're biggest problem is you're using a VK as a TKM. unarmed weapons (other than the Katarn) are useless to the a TKM as we do more damage with bare hands.
