• Do you use combat droids to increase the damage done?


• What traps do you use when fighting solo?


• What traps do you use when fighting in groups?


• What specials are most effective? (give profession please)


• What tactics do you use to avoid taking damage?


• What is the best way to increase your damage?

thanks in advance, guys.

I am starting up the TKA prof again, and one useful tip is to use a Rifle (in my case, a Laser Rifle) to pull critters away from the lair. I happen to have medic right now, and as a non-master TKA, I find myself healing often, even on blue cons.

I''m writing a guide to hunting big creatures as a Ranger, and it's clear as I'm writing this that I have no idea how to do the melee side of it. I used to be a TKM, but I've found that the mechanics of the game have changed so much, most of my knowledge wouldn't work. So tell me, Melee Rangers, what tactics do you use when fighting creatures both solo and in groups? The most pertinant info would be:

• Do you use combat droids to increase the damage done? Not at the moment.


• What traps do you use when fighting solo? Wire mesh is about it. Roots and Snares don't help a melee person out, unless you need to run.


• What traps do you use when fighting in groups? None. Tanking and trapping are a hard combo to utilize, so I go for the tanking, since that's my role.


• What specials are most effective? (give profession please) Still a noob TKA, so I don't have much input. I hear armor break, from 2h 4 in Brawler is quite a nice special, but I just got it this weekend, so I don't have much experience with it.


• What tactics do you use to avoid taking damage? Melee can avoid damage ?


• What is the best way to increase your damage? Armor Break and KD.

thanks in advance, guys.

thanks Calc, pretty much what I was expecting, lol. It's a lot harder to solo as a melee person, it seems. Has anybody solo'd a Krayt, Gorax, GDK or anything else that's really big as a melee fighter? If so, how?
