I take it your using weapons with DOTS on them to solo giants as Rifleman? Or you have enough medic to use Stim Cs or better?

nope - in fact dots would make it harder to solo a Giant
patience is a virtue and /concealshot your friend.
? care to explain? once the krayt agros you, lay on the dots like there is no tommorow, becuase chances are, there's not one for you...

well if you are purely soloing without brawler etc. conceal shot is your best bet correct?
if conceal breaks (which it does as soon as a dot lands) then it becomes harder to kill as you need a straight up fight at that moment.
Of course if you are a Commando or a brawler it would help but as a "Pure" rifleman it would be made more difficult.

Read my message that i posted...that say er... "How to kill a giant krayt as a rifleman" maybe that will answer your question.
*points out that Aajax's post is still not a pure rifleman build ^_^

Dots for PvE are pointless and a waste. Mind bleed comes from Mindshot2. My template is a secret, but I can take down Giant Krayts in about 2 minutes solo. Its all about the intimidate. Without that, Rifleman cannot solo krayts.

Completely disagree. ^_^
I do it all the time without any brawler in my template. Of course it is not my first choice but when the buffs pop on the tank I keep hunting while he is off buffing (even hunt them unbuffed ^_^) I can usually kill 4-7 juvies or 1 canyon in the time it takes him to find buffs.
