OK so ive only been pvping on my pikeman havent done too much pve yet. I am def stacked (master brawler/master pikeman/tk4304/fencer0440/swordsman3030), accuracy capped, and speed capped... also got a 910max VL and 1169max LVA.
anyone tried hunting krayts on a pikeman??? i used to do it with swords all the time but dunno bout pikeman. anyone who has done it let me know if its plausible. ty

It's doable, you'll just take considerably more damage than you would as a swordsman. Your stacked defenses mean basically nothing versus a krayt and pikeman toughness sucks.

well with your template youll be fine at soloing krayts. defenetly use the LVA and just use hit 3 (works 4 me)
and of course the basics 80+armor,good buffs yadayadayada

Very plausible. However with Pikeman's lower toughness you might want some very low-level medic skills, but with good armor you really should still have no problem with it. I recommend targetting action instead of using hit3, I find it to be faster.. just as a swordsman targetting mind gets through it faster than spamming their hit3.

That's not entirely true. Yes, melee defence and block are useless against krayts or any other high end creature/mob, but defence vs. states help ALOT against them. On TC5, I made a defence stacking Teras Kasi master, my defence vs. states were all over 100 (dizzy defence was 125), and I tanked an ancient krayt for over FIVE minutes without being dizzied ONCE. The only state that ever landed on me from the ancient was intimidate.

Yeah and frankly, with my template (Master Swordsman/Brawler/Pikeman) I don't seem to take that much more damage with a polearm in my hand than with a sword in my hand.. and I tank big stuff like Krayts and such almost nightly, and my defenses really aren't as good as a true defense-stacker's would be. Just cause the numbers seem to indicate that you'll be taking massive damage compared to a swordsman, doesn't mean you necessarily will be.

The extra toughness you have from Master brawler will help.
I noticed taking lately on sunrunnerkrayt damage seemed to change recently. I thought I had a bad piece or armor at first. I checked the combat logs and saw the damage range had increased. was something like 500-1500 after intimidation.(somewhere in there, dont remember exactly) So some hits were 110-125 compared to the normal 35-45 after armor.(Master pike, no Master brawler) Needless to say I needed healed occasionaly to maintain tank. This was on canyons. This was a week ago or so.

Yeah, I noticed that on canyon krayts, too. Giants are actually easier for me to tank because those 100+ damage attacks just don't appear.
