I have got to the same spot you are solo. I first killed the durnis, gubbers, and butterflies outside Corellia. Then I moved to durni and gubber missions. Moved to Anchorhead and did gorg, eopie, and nuna destroys. Moved back to Corellia and did Crazed Durni and Gurrcat missions. And this is where we are at. I see that you are rebel so you can do the same thing I did to get to Inter Defense. Take Rebel Destroy missions in Anchorhead. They are like 300m away. You also get beautiful faction points, and even if you don't want the faction, turn it into XP.

Get a decent medic/doctor friend, go to Dathomir, pick up the missions that are high 9000 - low 10000 payment (which are baz nitch lairs) and solo those guys. Even if you are novice medic, pick up some good Bs and you should be able to have it. Just as long as you have sweep, I see no problem, but having a friend to heal you would be great so you can use specials the whole time (and your friend will get sick medical xp for healing you also).

I'm at the same level of pikeman as the first two guys of this post with defensive I. I don't know what you call sweet exp but I found a decent little island on Corellia just South East of Doaba Geurfel (kinda near Corsec island). Hunting Humbabas for exactly 960 exp per kill. They con yellow to me but are not aggressive and come in herds of 4 to 5. The respawn is plenty to keep me busy until I'm tired of hunting there. It's a must to have Sweep 1 to keep them off their feet. I also use Polerarm Hit 2 to keep them stunned when they do stand back up. The damage I take is mostly from my special moves HAM costs of my Lance. They do have 4000 HAM so it will take about 2-3 min or so to take them down unless you get lucky and strike only Action or only Health.

Watch out for the Crimson Razor Cats and the Grassland Slice Hounds that also roam in this area as they don't take kindly to strangers.

A good spot for me is on Naboo if you can find a pack of Shapuaut Hunters. Draw one out first and just keep using sweep. You can do this solo and I get around 1800 xp for each kill. Humbabas on Correlia are nice too.

I have intermediate defensive polearm techniques and thats it right now. It is taking forever to get a decent amount of polearm xp. I've been to fort tusken which is great for xp but I was in a large group with another large group and that got me to novice pikeman. I got the defensive techniques outside of wayfar at the tusken camp in a small group but that also took a long time seeing as the number of people that was there steadily grew to the point where a tusken would be dead from ranged attacks in 5 seconds or I wouldn't be able to get to it fast enough to get more than 100 - 300 xp a kill. So I want to know the best grinding places that aren't too far out of the way and not overly used. The best place I know of to solo is in front of the shuttleport in Kor Vella where those swoops spawn giving me a little over 200 xp a kill. Right now I'm on Tatooine so grinding spots on Tatooine would be even more appreciated.
