Well my Level 72 Ranger has found that the Pdarts allow her to beat Level 50 and above solo *although still one at a time*. But when I was using them on a Level 71to 73 Dewback it took 3 to 6 Darts to keep it slowed down enough to keep a distance from me while I shot at it with my Lightning Cannon or DX44 Pistol and yes it took me several minutes per dewback. Ended up running off 100 of the traps in one of my factories to save time spent on crafting them while fighting. Personally I've not noticed any difference between now and pre CU except it is harder for my Ranger to kill anything without grouping which I rarely do but since using the traps I am confident of getting reasonable xp now.

I dont think you can solo a krayt. I sure cannot. I was shooting one for 45 minutes last night and didnt hardly do any dmg. They can heal faster than a elite or hybrid can put out dmg.

Sorry, but your wrong on solo'ing a krayt.

I am a Master Rifleman and Master Ranger. No other special skills. My rifles are just top quality crafted versions of the Advanced Laser Rifle, the T21, and the Jawa Ion. I keep a berserker in reserve for kinetic damage.

Juvies, Canyons, Giants....which I think are Level 79, 84, and 86 (levels are right...I might have the names flip-flopped) are all VERY doable........I know this because I solo them everyday. Last Friday was my longest day solo'ing with never getting killed....22 krayts. So don't say you can't solo krayts.

I use a high damage powerup that slows down my speed. This helps keep my action bar in line and gives me time to launch traps....about 1 trap every 4 to 5 rifle shots. My shots do any where from 1,100 pts damage on Juvies to down around 789 on Level 86 krayts. Even at this rate, while they do regen some, you can get them dead. Ancients are a bit more challenging.......my damage on them drops down to about 700, they regen faster, and even when trapped/snared they tend to "Retreat" more often....basically healing themselves up by running away, at which point you have to start all over. I don't find Ancients dropping anything special as compared to others.....so I try to leave them alone. When fighting the higher end krayts I do use the sonic bomb trap on them as well....the dizzy and stun states allow me to hit for more damage...about 100 pts more per shot, which certainly helps.

I see in the new patch notes that they are making krayts a higher level now...which means my solo days may be over....but it was fun while it lasted.
