I searched Endor fully before the last patch and the only one I found was the static Marauder spawn, after the patch I've searched some more, not as extensively, but so far have come up empty-handed.

yes, that's the only one I've heard of too so far. I would think there are more than just one static spawn, but oh well.. I hear it¨'s a real fun fight and that he dies standing up or? I wonder if a bio engineer can harvest him for DNA? hummm... My city would probably like to have a gorax inside the cantina or something.

I hear rumours he KD and dizzies too! sounds awfully lot like a TKA in disguise... God I hope it is true as you say, that he is now a localized spawn and not just removed from the game. If he IS removed that would be a bummer, cause from the sreenies I saw he is one scary fellah Also, it's been a while since I've hunted on Endor and I have infact not been hunting there ever since the patch "removed" the pubam missions. It would be great if they put the Gorax up as a mission on the terminals It would be my new place to hunt, no more kams or voritors!


Oh well, time to exploit... erh,exploreEndor again

He has these cool "stomping" area attacks. Being very tall, he walks around and stomps on attackers, it's cool to see as long as you're not on the receiving end.

Ever fought a peko peko albatross? They're medium armor, 100% kinetic resists, 90% electricity resists, they dizzy, kd, blind, intimidate, stun (all area attacks) and move like nothing else I've ever seen in-game. Since they are also so large, they warp around 100-150m at a time making it almost impossible for melee to get many hits in. They're a lot of fun to fight, but sometimes frustrating (and exhausting) chasing them around once they get into that frenzy mode before death.

I ve actually never bothered to fight onw yet, but I ve walked by quite a few.. I guess it was the 100% kinetic resemblance to the NS Elder that scared me away They are on my list to hunt for RIS pieces, but so far I've been slaughtering Kimogilas on Lok for that quest:

The only way to kill the albatrosses is to bleed them, action poison, too if you can. Before, when bleeds caused incaps, the only problem was that right before they died, they would warp 100m away and die, and so even if you burst ran, they died out of range so that you lost permission to loot them. Now, the trouble is getting those last few leghits in. Lots of running if you can't shoot them.

Just to confirn, Gorax's are indeed random spawns, but very rare. The only person on Scylla I know has seen one was a BH during a mission.

Great! Don't think I can justify leaving my nightsisters to chase one down, though...
