what? heeeeellz no... I stood on my feeth and killed them both! no whimping out stuff alà smugglertype...

Wow! That's amazing. The one time I tried going up against a Krayt I was dead before the MCM in the group was able to throw the first stem. Then again I was only 1 1 1 1 and I'm a wookiee so no armor.

Congratulations!

#1Used spice[muon GOld], Drinks[sunburns by Isin] and Food[ryschcate by Isin]

#2 Intimidation, warcy and CoB is your friend

#3 After Wacry, use sweep on the Krayt, both bleeds and then Spam Leghit3 until it gets up

#4 keep a distance until warcry kick in again, and repeat procedure until the Krayt s dead

#5 Center of Beeing, use it nonstop, if it fades, recast

oh, yes.. got a loot too btw just now...another stupid pearl, oh well

Ah, ok. Simple enough. Won't work as easily without master brawler (and the extra melee defenses help also, of course), but probably doable. How many times did you have to re-apply the bleeds and what's the damage on your LVA? Also, you were able to KD the Krayts pretty easily? They resisted it pretty well most of the time when I tried. Nicely done, by the way.

Master Brawler helps a lot, not sure how it d go without... CoB is really important too, cause they stun, dizzie and KD if they get a chance. I re-applied the bleeds 2 times, second when it was down to 15-20% actionpool left. My LVA by Mineris a regular Weaponsmith sliced for dam and with a powerups(maxdam&actioncost), and since they break so often, I don t ever use my NS weapons(they go on the walls in my house). Instead I stock up on weaponsmith lances. The krayts don't KD easily, but the tactic I use to get them KD, is rather simple: Spam sweeps until it hits, then clear combat que cause the next sweep will change its posture and the Krayt gets up(happened once, man that was a bitch).

Funny sidenote: there was this group of the regular blastmonkeys and several grauls hunting one of the krayts, and I couldn't helpbut notice they went for thehealthpool which was dropping VERY slowly.. so, well.. nah, I didn't interfere but I was thinking of it. ...too bad I m such a fair player

ah, yes, the extra ranged and melee defenses would help, thing is I didn't really use those since I stayed outta range when the krayt was back up, or not under the influence of warcry... a rahter simple beast to take down, even two at the time(just use sweep2 instead to get both KD'ed, or work your way through one at the time)

Nice. The standard way for melee to take down very large targets (that don't run and shoot back). Glad to hear you didn't have to do anything much out-of-the-ordinary.

indeed, nothing out of the ordinary... that would probably apply whenever I try(haven't succeded yet) to take down a nightsister Elder(100% kinetic, selfhealing and ranged/melee). Those times my tacti change from running to fleeing and then finally cloning

Yeah, the elders give some trouble. They resist KD like crazy (although not 100%, I've KD'ed them before), and they heal themselves so much that they can really only be defeated through draining their mind pool, which is tough with the 100% kinetic resists and not being able to target mind. They hit for a lot and are never alone. All-in-all, pretty difficult without tanks.
