Thread: How LAME is this, fellow rangers? Check it out...
You are not supposed to solo a Kimogila!
Put it another way, because you are not supposed to solo a Kimogila, the rewards are such that you probably won't bother again.

It's not like one can effectively solo using /concealshot. 2 hours! d&mn, I would not last that long. You must have gotten lucky or stopped every so often to escape the chance to set a bleed. I would have punched a hole in the wall if after 1hr, 59m the bleed set and it aggro'd. I knew this already, btw. /concealshot is for hunting, really big game like this is best left to a party (and sadly, to ninja looters).
btw, I have hunted these things in a co-op group and no loot. NS, Krayt... all the same, loot is very rare, no matter how you do it. H3ll, I have yet to see a NS bracelet, let alone anything actually useful to me. On the other hand I got many, many vortor and rancor loot drops.
Sounds like you paid for your sins!

Normally not a negative person but HAD to vent to my fellow rangers... (sigh) here's my lament:
I'm on the Lowca server, walking around Lok. What do I stumble across? A giant dune kimogila. So I check it out... level 153, HAM of 81150... so what do I do but fight it! lol
Many, many, many conceal shots later and an actual time of about 2 hrs it dies... I soloed it. Small cheer erupts from me. But wait.. here's my "reward:"
4120 rifle xp
410 combat xp
some leathery hide
NO LOOT
Does this seem right to y'all? Never fought something that huge before so was wondering... but pretty much will never fight anything like this again if it's like that encounter... LAME!
Any input (other than "quit your whining") will be appreciated... like I said, had to vent!

wow - two hours! would it be any consolation if we inducted you into the ranger hall of fame for "most-time (or maybe least time) spent solo'ing a giant dune kimo."
Seriously, it would be sort of cool if you could at least get a badge or something when you take out one of the game's epic monsters that said "helped take down a giant dune kimo" or "helped defend tatooine settlers (and their harvesters lol) from a krayt dragon."

Well first off the drop rate for GDK is borked.From what I have heard it's about 1 in 30. The scales sell for 3 to 5 mill on my server and up to 10 mill on the old servers. There is really no surprise you didn't get one. Not to be mean or anything, it's just the facts.
Also, Regular Kimogila, and Dune Kimogila can easily be soloed. They have only ~50K hams, and deal less than 100 damage with 80% kinetic comp. As long as your buffed these die easily. And I am a carbineer, so If I can take them anyone can. I have combat friends that solo GDKs all the time (master doc/master heavy sword, and master doc/TKM). They don't even worry about the wicked disease. I wouldn't but they can.
Krayts should not be soloable (the above two people can though). The three of us took out some Giant Canyon Krayts last night, and it took about 30 min each.
I guess what I am trying to say, is that all the ub3r loot wouldn't be special if it droped all the time cause there are always people who can kill anything. Rangers just have a hard time of it because of our skill points that we use.
Anyhow, Congrats on your trophy kill 
I sure wish we could mount them on the wall of our house.
