then it should actually have a good purpose in killing a lot of thigns. not everything has 100% resistances to heat i do not think. it actually sounds like a good rifle to level with.

Looted bones ?? what kind of bones

what is the stats on ur? and besides all i have to level with is a t21 rifle with 5.4 spped and only 408 max and a lazer rifle with 3.9 speed. so i really dont have a lot of choices.and i also dont have a dxr6b either. so no nto really many choices on my part.

Got a +25 tape off the elder right after they were put in. Killed her with a group staking fire dots that time. Soloed her once since then and it took about 45 minutes so I never went back.
No loot of course when I soloed her.

a good dxr and a prayer is what you need at that cave. a definite favorite of mine as a melee person. still lots of fun if you have a group.

I once walked all the way to the bottom of the cave with NO armor and NO buffs - just for fun. Ranger camo is the $hit! Anyway, the uber NS elder at the bototm of the cave broke my camo and it was all over in amtter of f few seconds
but fun nonetheless.

When did the crystal caves on dant get hard? some of the newer members of my guild wanted to go to the crystal caves last night, now since it has been some months since i was last there, and soloed it (back then) as a TKM i though no problem, i'll go along and baby sit, make sure everyone is ok, and dive in if it gets a bit much.
ended up with a similar story to the spiderclan caves, went into the cave, i decided to tank the first couple so as to getthem into the swing of things, notice that the cave was full, and the first mob had 3/4 health, (must have been a noobie i thought) so off i go, he agros me, i let him come up to me, and tank, all going well. the other members of the group (3 ppl, a marksman working up pistols tree, to novice BH and a competant TKA, all buffed and in comp) before i know what is happening there is a dozen on use, pounding away, my stats aren't really dropping, i switch to TKM and start taking a couple of the easier targets out to reduce numbers, then the weakest of the party starts taking big hits, i start to med hm but he panics and runs, 1 down. just me he TKA and BH left, a second wave hits (only 3 or 4 more) i spam spin attack to ty and get there attention to me, but its too late BH incapped. doh, i try to med before he's slain but nooooooo dizzy and knockdown. 2 down.
The TKA is trying his best to fend them off whilst i wait for dizzy to go away, medding every few seconds (also master med) he seems to be doing ok, im taking hits, but nothing my armour and buff can't cope with. i jump up, target one and spam a few UH3 with the odd knockdown, get a couple, but no, the TKA's mind and health are getting dangerously low. spam spinning hit, to try and get them all on me, "RUN, GET OUT AND RECOVER I'LL HOLD EM" next thing i see him runing up thetunnel screaming "aaaaahhhh" 3 of them had followed him, damn it, 3 down.
i switch back to UH3, my bleeds are getting pretty bad now, so 2 UH3 then a 1st aid and heal. no good, i can't stop the bleeds quickly enough. nooooo, i leg it, out the cave and towards the mountains, still taking hits, but onl minor, switch to auto run, spam /firstaid self macro. no good, i get a dizzy and knockdown. im ok i sendin grp chat, 4 down.
/g see u all at the cloning facility then.
Again good fun, not sure why sooo many agroed at once, and it was never that hard, or i'm getting soft in my old age. but there you go, good fun again
Optimistically smiling as always
