I do use it. The best armor you can wear is kinetic layered assault armor. That gives you the best kinetic resists. But kinetic layered battle armor (such as padded) can give you over 6300 kintetic protection, which works out to be 50% damage reduction. Armor definately helps, in my book. But again, the goal should be not to get hit at all. I'd say stick with armor that doesn't impede your movement speed. That means using armor with basic cores when you're a novice Ranger, and getting better armor as you mitigate more of the hinderances.

can anyone point me to a link that has BigCreature locations and possible loot ?

I am a new master rifleman and master ranger, and i'm keen to put my new skills to good use

i only know where to find the krayt dragons.

where are these gorax found?

Goraxes can be found in the Northern Desert area of Endor.

Giant Dune Kimogilas are found around the volcano on Lok (POI: Adi's Rest).
though, like I said, you should really practice a lot before you go try these things solo.

Awsome post Phen! Thanks a bunch.

Outstanding guide.

My only point of contention - In a group, sneak in a few L darts now and then to dizzy the creature and add to the damage that is done.

I managed to get Virrago to post there, which is always fun, as Virrago has some very cool smileys, which he uses with reckless abandon.

and a Dev or Moderator post brings in more traffic due to the Dev Tracker and Moderator Tracker Stalkers.

Fantastic guide. It is great for all players to review, not just Rangers!!!

So, with new inspiration i went soloing out in the deserts of Shady Sands on my own and took down som Cannibal Drewbacks (Great Hunter Quest phase 1) and took out some ten of them; no armor off course,unbuffed apart from foraged food and inspiration buff, same combat level and same weapons. They were all yellow coded and red center dots. In three cases i took some damage the rest none. No mobbing !

Before i couldJUST about handle blue coded non aggi critters !

Thought i would mention it to illustrate how this huide helped me.

Arboe

well I'm very happy that my guide helped you. It's always good to know that others will carry on the torch.

Yeah, I was going to put that down as another tactic to be used as part of our repetoire, but I haven't tried it out as much post-cu. Pre-CU I could solo a krayt unbuffed/unarmored as a TKM by dragging a Krayt through some Banthas and letting them attack him to draw aggro and healing up then. But with the new hate system, they'll do damage, but they won't draw aggro for you. Still, I'll update this guide and put that in there at some point.

Having them do damage is enough. As long as you keep the target snared, you're shiny. The added creature damage completely negates your target's health regenin addition tohelping you whittle them down. I don't hunt the big bads without 'volunteer' backup. I just don't use mereks or arachnes on endor if I can help it-- they're just as likely to turn on me as they are the gorax. I think all the 'stalking' types, grey con or not, will attack you if you hang around them long enough. Like, say, the time it takes to kill a giant force monkey.
