soloing high lvl mobs...is it possible? I'm almost finished with my template today, master pike, master tk, and doc 4-0-0-0 (have 2-0-0-0 right now), and wanted to try some high lvl stuff. Went to Endor to see if i could find a gorax, ok lvl 82 only 2 above me i should be able to do this, in no time its got me down to 0 health hitting for like 400 a hit even with COB, intimidate and innate armor. Ok can't do that, next i tried the geo cave, ok this should be easier crazed geonosians are only lvl 79, but it takes me forever to kill just one, and by then the one i killed has respawned so i'm stuck in the first room. I also tried to kill a few kimos and juvy krayts but that didn't work very good either. Now i noticed something, i tried this template in pvp and it kicked ass, i was able to beat almost everyone i fought even while rooted and diseased. So i guess this is more of a pvp template that everyone seems to be using. I think i'm going to try for Master Pikes, Master TK, Master Brawler, Swords 0-0-3-4, and the combat prowess speed. This was my original intention but i got coerced into the doc route. Just a question, but for high lvl solo pve (is this even possible with this template) i think the latter would be much better. any input would be great, thanks

Yeah, its possible. Its the same template as mine and I have no problem soloing multiple cl80+ mobs.



Which lance do you use and what are the stats? Also do you have SEAs? I'm assuming you are using armour break?

I started my second slot toon recently... went Master Pikeman/TKM and Doc 4000. I gotta say. It rocks. I only have +8 polearm speed in the suit of armor i wear ( 6500 kinetic/energy maurader). my pike is pretty good. 1051 max but high speed... 2.47... my modded dps is only 498 right now. improved stunning blow, improved intimidate & improved warcry are such a good combo..... I can solo giant canyon krayts ( lvl 86) right now. I use improved bacta a lot but rarely even need to use stims. And the sky is the limit too. currently i use no pups.... i do pop some food... working on getting fs melee spd and enough ADK's to make sure my armor never goes bad... then gonna collect AA's and passively search for a more uber pike. Also gonna go after the great kaminoan staff to have a good kinetic pike. This is an excellent Pve template. Haven't tried to solo a gorax yet but am looking forward to it. As far as pvp goes.... haven't tested it too much but i know with the healer and improved COB i won't go down quick. anyway, my 2 cents. I hope it helps and would very much love to hear other peolpes strategies.

I am also Master Pike, TKM and Doc 4000...


Not sure about the Gorax, not tried yet, but I had no problem with a Juvie Krayt. I also decided to do a little trophy hunting last night and the CL80 mobs were no trouble at all, including the Mutant Acklay.


PvP is just as impressive - I love it.


You may also want to look at the food / Drink you have. For any high end PvE I have the following stacked: Blob Candy, Kanali, Spiced Tea, Ahrisa, Pikatta or Vegeparsine, Breath of Heaven and Thunderclound. For really high end I pop a Booster Blue as well. The result is that they miss me more than hit.


I only use 1 pike now - NSEL, Damage Sliced and pupped with an ADK. Max is at 1113 and midified DPS at close to 600. SAC is a little high at 100, but I tend to do combos that keep this down. My other pike is a Kamoian (s?) Great Staff, and that is almost identical stats, apart fro the SAC is just 85 so I alternate them.


So much fun

I ment the pike/TKM/doc template to.

Accuracy SEAs make a big difference to armour break, which until I hit about +15 I found sub-par on sticking. I've got SAC pups on my lances, as they are high dps anyway, but it means I've not tried it with the full +25 due to the accuracy debuff the PuPs give.

One thing to note though is the changes to Doc, with publish 21. Since they are finally fixing the healing skills, you may also need a decent healing efficiency SEA or two.

Yes they are

I only have master pike, TKM, and novy doc , with some fs speed and other stuff, and i can take on a NS elder (lvl82 w/ double enhanced health and damage) and a NS rancor at the same time. pretty sweet. I can akso take on a NS Stalker(lvl 85 w/ enhanced health). heh i tried to do one of the jedi spawns on Dantooine, but i need a seperate healer to do that lol.

i've decided to rework my templat and go master pikeman master teras kasi master brawler and swordsman 0-0-3-4, leaves enough points for fs skills when i get around to doing those. also an added question i just bought a pretty sweet pre cu pike, 1024 max damage with 2 slices left on it, my modified dps is 525, should i get an anti-decay kit for this? payed 2.8 mill

yep


anything up to giant krayt = solou can tank the others successfuly but realy need a second dmg'r as regen is too quick


gorax = killed 9 of em yesterday as a change from krayt easier than canyon krayt only cl 83


acklay = yep


canyon and juve at same time = FUN but managed it alternating targets when intim wears off constant heals trying to use kd the first second u can thats what ienjoy and boy was it fun


pretty much anything up to lvl 87 once at that point our dmg starts becoming a issue and can you have it beat before your mind fries through healin

I have that template as well, and have a kaminoan sliced and ADK'd, and I can solo the following -


Giant Canyon or lower krayts


Gorax


Acklay (the real one not mutant)


Axzva Min


Anything else save ancient krayts, necrosis, or DJK/DJM type stuff.


You just need good food, well timed AB, and patience...

i finally finished my RIS masterpiece and went out to break it in - tracked down a cl111 dant force guy and took him solo.


template:
master pike
swords 0444
doc 4004


armor (each piece):
RIS
6500 e/k
5500 base
+25 pole acc/speed
+25 gen melee acc/speed
75% armorbreak slice
all adk
+18 heal effic (shirt)


pike:
515-1049
sac 74 (pup)


food:
blob +175 action regen
tea +180 mind regen
booster blue


tactic:
warcry, intim, stun, armorbreak - these states must stick throughout.
cob, bacta infuse - these must stay on throught.
kd, crit hit, impale, headhit, leghit (cycle these) and bacta shot as needed.


the only other thing i do thatsome playersdont understand is i have NO auto attack running. i feel auto attack reduces way too much action/mind regen for the damage it does. my plan is to outlast the opponet - the fights are longer but i very seldom lose 1on1.


i have more than enough mind to out heal any damage - and i keep the offence pressure on with bursts of armorbreak, kd, crit hit, impale, headhit, leghit combos.


so yes, pikeman is a great solo pve'r


pikeman forever!
