Pikeman

It all depends on how far into the class you are. I've been having good luck fighting Crystal Snakes on Yavin, but I wouldn't reccomend that if you only have a few boxes...

I'd be curious of a good mob to fight too.... I levelled to Novice Pikeman by taking on Bagerasets on Corellia.... they don't swarm ...

I think until you get your area attacks - the one-on-one variety of mobs are your best bet...

Anyone have any idea what a 0-1-1-0 pikeman can fight that DOESN'T swarm and gives at least 1500 xp per kill?

Run away! Run far away!

Masterpikeman/TKM

This is how i have grind:

Im a medic (important) Im a CH (more important)... Hehe...

Have the pets attacking, start to close in on target so that when u see -- turn to -50 u start fighting... Then the target wont agro you, only the pets, If u get to close to the target, the targetwill turn to agro you even if theres 5 (hey even if 100 pets stand there the target will and do focus on you) pets attacking ut, if that happen u fast press burst run and heal urself and hope for the best...

With this method i do kamurith defilers on dathomir, giving me atleast 4k xp per kill

So grab ur CH friends and go out hunting and remember that DO NOT stand to close, close in on target with caution...

I run around and hit nests and let the mobs aggro me..last night I took down 4 Eeopies in a row..red to me(just a novice pike). I don't have a pet but I do have medic skills.

Here is what my formula was.

Poleman - Did mound mite lairs and then did diseased bocatts on tatooine

Apprentice - Did Cu-Pa's on tatooine. They don't pack and gave good exp

Novice Pikeman -Creature of choice was the Bol-Bol's on Naboo. They didn't pack until the last patch but not sure if that was fixed or not. They gave over 1k of exp and also had herbivore meat that was decent.

Foot Soldier - Fierce Piket Protectors (Dantooine)- gave over 3500 exp if soloed

Advice - Once you get some skills in the pikeman. Group up and let others take the hits if possible. Also get a cowardly gurreck if you are non-CA. I also cannot emphasis how important it is to have medic skills. If you know a good doc, get buffed and you will be very hard to take down if smart. Now that I am mst Doc, I couldn't be happier. I actually like my profession! Go figure. Long road though.

I progressed in the speed line (1st one to left) then defensive moves and then finished with offence. Most other masters said the same and it worked well with me.

If you need any training or advice on stuff, send me a tell if in eclipse.

If you got action bleed 1, novice med skills, and some decent armor, then Picket Longhorns on Dantooine is the way to go.

Just learn to single them out and you will be ok.

Mountain Wortts on Tatooine are excellent at the low-mid pikeman levels. They are about 6k HAM (so you can compare to anything else you are thinking about), but are NOT agro. So you can run up, smack him in the face, and his buddies don't interfere. There are not too many creatures at this level that do not assist.

I found these creatures while searching for the intellect spawn, they are pretty common lairs in that area- so thats another benefit, grind out pikeman while also rolling the dice at the intellect spawn.

I love mountain worts they are goodfor every thing about 1.5-2k xp i belive and there soft, btw it is very possible to pull single Kamirths on dathomir i did the last half of TKA on them just walk up until they agro then run and don't engage until 100 m from its buddies they spawn in twos so if you get agroed you have a shot still.

grouping for kunga missions on dant give tons of xp, if there arent many pets or other melee in the group to tank for u, its not good but if there are andno bh or commandos are killin em faster than u can get a lot of damage inu can get up to 4k xp per kill =3.

don't grind, just play much better that way

I recommend against Kunga's on Dantooine.

Even with pets thanking, Kunga's still use area attacks that cause upwards of 1200 damage. Needless to say, its hazardous to your health.
