Ok, we got some claims of people taking Kimos and Juvenile Krayts without the in the sentence.

Don't quote me, but I believe Kimos are CL 90, Juvenile Krayts CL 150, and Krayts CL 275.

I can buy anyone soloing (no tanks, just Scout and Ranger traps and tactics) anything up to CL 60, but I'm gonna have to say I need a screenshot to believe anything over that.

A stupid thing though, i think XP is capped at 5k per kill. So i could kill this Gorax, and get 5k rifle xp, where as if i kill an Ancient Hanahank i would get abour 4k rifle xp, go figure?

I shall let you know how i go! They do move fast so i could be in trouble!

I killed this ancient horse thing on Endor in like a 15 trap battle and got 1258 pistol xp. I was disappointed until I saw the 2456 combat xp.

Also frenzied graul netted me 4k pistol and 600 combat, so at some point you are raking in combat and no weapons xp.

I solo'd a Gorax about a week ago. Went through 5 incaps (those things aggro anything attacking it and ignore pets when they are really ticked). Solo'd a Dark Jedi Knight once too. Just takes tactics and a plan, not mindless spamming of special moves.

Its either a Force Crystal hunter or and Enraged Kimogilia. Or does the Night Sister slaver camps count as bigger?

I *almost* solod a DJM recently. (After the kd/suppression nerfs) Some very nice composite, doctor buffs and muon. Bleed her and kept running like a schoolgirl and spamming crippleshot.... I had her down to 400hp and about 1k ap when I ran into someone's harvester or a tree or something and she caught up to me... slicey slicey.

Either way it was hella fun.. and my friend got to see his composite in action... Absorbed 2100 dmg from the first swing (whichI survived teehee)

One of the missions from the Emporer's Retreat involved killing a fambaa. I managed to do it with a lot of traps and one incap and NO PET. At the time I only had maybe the bottom row of Pistoleer filled.

Sharnaff Bull, that somehow aggroed on me and icapped me in 1 hit, pissed me off, so when i got back up he had wandered off from the heard, so i hit him with mindshot 1 and 2, and head shot 3 with my T21, etc.

Ranged: Grapping Spider Hunter on Dathomir. Lots of running in circles, warningshots, and suppressionfire. (Not much time to toss a trap)

Non ranged: Rancor

Wanna try a Gurreck, but...umm...no

The closest I've come to soloing a kimo was when I kited it into a pack of snorbals. Let them fight and sit back and shoot. Still got me.

Another tactic to use, but I was usually incaped by the time it came up, is to let 2 kimos duke it out. Pop the winner untill he is the loser and switch. In theory you can solo 2 kimos, but what's usually the case is they run off into the boonies.

And giant kimos...traps don't work.

A Giant Canyon Krayt Dragon....

Kimo...took a hell of a load of traps!

I solo'd a Juvenile Krayt due to a big bug... A Canyon Krayt attacked me, and I think the Juvie assisted its pal and targeted me at the same time, and accidentally assisted me. I highly doubt Krayts normally attack each other. I got an even 3000 scout xp I think, and 850 bristley hide hehe.

Wandered into two Sharnaff Bulls and doncha know, maskscent wore off. Popped #1 with a bleed shot, #2 with a bleed and stopping shot... nailed both with adhesive... ran like a schoolgirl. Peaced, it worked, maskscented... and then led the two of the beasties into a pack of wrix. They deserved it, messing with me while I was out looking for hides.

Upshot - both bulls, down. 6 Wrix, to include a grand, down. XP - boocoo, 4k weaponsxp for the bulls alone, that was all that I remember seeing, was busy shooting and scooting, tossing traps like a fiend, my fingers just flying over the keys. Oh yeah I was laffing my ass off.

Solo? Well, I was the only one there, no pets even... Brilliant tactics... no, but a desparate move worked and I lived without a lot of damage, so I am counting it.

Oh well, back to killing grondas - they are easy.
