Well, Master Ranger + Dweezle + Trapping tapes (which are fairly common now, believe it or not) will do that .

Let me clarify.....this did not actually happen.....hence the reason I started by saying "I envisioned myself...."

This was emotional flatulation after just having had a cl80 rancor hand me my hiney.

I burstran, I ate good food, I have a good weapon, with a powerup, stimpacked, I tried to use terrain to my advantage. Knee cap shot.P dart....

Is it me, or do Wilderness Experts have to go through a helluva lot of trouble just to survive in the wilderness?

exactly what I thought... people will fall back and say.... "well use traps and you can solo anything as a M Ranger template" Well if the traps worked maybe... but they dont, at least not with me.

what I wonder is do all these braggerts that claim they can solo anything... describe wot your equiptment is, what your mods are, what ca's and aa's you use, what your regular weapon is when you hunt... etc. Just hearing someone say hey I have soloed 30 gorax... doesn't mean anything to me. I read the guide to big game hunting... sorry I personally dont buy it. Give me facts and screenprints of your battles, stats on your equiptment... cause till then I call BS on you.

Template: Master Ranger/Master Bounty Hunter/Marksman 0103

equipment I use to solo big game-- Speed sliced proton carbine w/ powerup. Around 470 mod damage. Tusken Raider robe, tanned hide boots, tusken glvoes, swoop helm, camo pants, form fitting shirt.CAs- + 1 General Ranged Speed. + 1 General ranged accuracy. + 1 Carbine accuracy. BE shirt +15 to melee and ranged defense and pants +17 camo/mask scent. 4sets of Phecnacine darts.

Food used: typically just brandy, though I do pop an occasional neutron pixie to help with action regen.

I can tell you exactly what I do:

trap critter. If it fails, Idon't get aggro. If it does, it's slow. Instantly KD shot.start running in circle, avoiding hills whenever possible (don't want to lose LoS).I then apply a bleed (bleed ticks for more damage if applied while the creature is KD'd). Alternate advanced critical shot (typically around 800-1500 damage, depending on critter) and the bleed shot (typically between 500-1000 damage). repeat this alternation twice. Trap again. repeat the alternating shots 3 times.trap again. repeat the alternating shots 3 times. if the trap fails, use KD shot and crit shot, followed by another trap. If that fails, i throw on duelist stance and throw another trap. If it misses, I pop a stim and throw another. Usually I don't miss 4 times in a row. If I do, I recomend popping a ruby biel and using another stim. I've never missed 5 traps in a row. If neccesary use dweezel if you don't feel confident in your trapping ability.

Other than that it's a matter or rinse and repeat the trapping and the alternating damaging shots. For big boys like the Ancient Krayt, I'll actually have about 10-12 sets of traps ready.

For the record, it's sad that you think that a 2 year veteran Ranger would have any reason to lie to you about what he's done. I don't know you, I frankly couldn't care less if you believe me. I wrote that guide as a way to help people who may not have solo'd everything in the game, and as an easy tactic for soloing stuff. I really don't see the need to bring you screenshots. The people who know me on my server have seen what I can do, if you really think I have something to prove, you're welcome to come watch me on Eclipse.

I play on eclipse. I would love to hunt with you. I never called anyone a liar, but I personally do not think what you stated makes sense. All mobs will always out run us, our traps are way to slow to fire off as fast as you make it out to seem. The assumption I have is that your traps always work...

What do you do when you dont state it right off and the thing bears down on you and kills you like the author of the forum stated in the first place. You make it seem like you have magical traps. Yea I want to see your magic beans... I will be off work in 45 minutes and home 30 minutes later...

For the record I think most of you regulars don't like my "in your face" attitude, I don't blame you... Phenix lets hang out tonight and if you are as good as your claims are I will post here tomorrow that I am wrong. Honeslty I can't believe you don't wear armor and you can survive and thrive... if you are honest I will be extremly impressed and a bit embarressed.

I hope we can hook up tonight!

Best tips I could share from learning from the great (no sarcasim this time) Phe'nix is use your p-darts FIRST and keep running... never stay or stop in place...

Thanks again to Phe'nix for the lesson!
