personally i conceal shot if it bleeds run away until it stops.
ive heard some people tanking the beasties but thats a little beyond me. also speed capped helps a great deal.

80% kinetic armor.
Encumbrance sliced.
Good T21
Mind stats migrated to full substats and mind pool.
2 brandies.
Musician buff. (dancer optionnal)
Make sure you have 1500 focus after you wear your armor.
With your remaining 17 skill points, pick up Novice Brawler.
Make sure you're speed capped.
SS2 the dragon or HS3 it, whatever you want (SS2 is a bit faster), don't forget to keep it Intimidated, it's the important thing here. I run a loop macro on SS2 and every 25 seconds I have a macro that /intimidates 2 times in a row. 10 minutes, all is said and done.
If you're fighting a Giant Krayt Dragon, be carreful because you will get kd/dizzied alot, it sucks, but it just takes a lil longer. Make sure to ALWAYS run a double intim on it so that even if you get kded, the intim doesnt wear off.
If it's a Canyon Krayt/Juvenile Spawn, switch to the DXR6 for the Juvenile.
Forgot to mention, I am MFencer MRiffleman Pistol Tech 4 and Pharm 4. I was MTK, MRiffleman Novice Medic with some Scout and was also able to do it, albeit it got hairy sometimes because of the lack of healing.

Elders would be a tricky bit due to the stun batons, but Krayt's are stupidly easy.
Master Doctor/Master Rifleman/Novice Brawler.
80% Kinetic Composite or 75% Ubese Armor.
Full buffs.
Find the krayt, intimidate, spam strafe 2. Yes, strafe 2, not Head Shot. Reasoning is that you do a lot more damage with Strafe2, as opposed to HeadShot.

soloing just takes to long, best way i have found is get a mswordsman buddy who is def capped and just let him tank, you spam HS3 while he does the same. seems to work pretty fast, i personall hate tanking with rifles, it jsut defeats the purpose.
with another mrifle, conceal isnt a terrible idea. works great on elders.

I use 80% energy/elect with 80%+ base for elders.
Temp is MFencer/MRifleman/2020 Medic. (Speed capped rifleman)
I use mind shot 2 to lure them, then headshot them to hell.
Be sure to keep intimidate on them, and watch out when they stack bleeds. (ticks for 2k..)
Heal and use first aid when needed.
And don't forget buffs..lol.

If you are a doc you won't have as much melee defence as some of us "krayt hunters" so you're combat queue might look something like SS2, SS2, SS2, heal, etc...
I'm Master Rifles/TKM/Medic 2-1-3-0. My method is get a set of 75% ubese, then go balls-to-the-wall SS2 and take my beating. WhenI get about half dead I drop my rifle and stim myself. Then get back to slamming him with my T21. This method takes about 5 minutes to kill. However, if you can pawn the argo off onto a melee stacker in the area it cuts the killing time be a cuple minutes.

Hehe did this on a NS elder. She pulled a Stun baton on us so we had to Keep our distance and she didn't know which way to run.

No one mentioned Ahrisa. Forget amor, forget buffs, if an MRM don't got that, their good as dead. And you really only need one.
