which is why I said the secret to soloing em is - to not try but to bring a group.


Though I have noticed some mobs spawnsdo insanely little damage lately and yet another spawn of the sametype will own you instantly. (seems a random flavor has been added)

the biggest problem with this game, is that they are forcing people to group for killing high end mob's yet the mob's still don't drop anything of value at a reasonable rate to make it worth while to do them, i know me and 2 other's went hunting nightsisters, took about a minute each night sister (prior to 24 was under a minute solo) and the loot was worse than ever, after an hour of hunting we got 0 items worth keeping.

A solution to this is to let every person in the group to loot a mob and get their own roll on the loot table.

Actually, I experienced a few times (not with krayts) where i would knock down a mob and it would stay down for the entire time while i killed it. Though that may just be a bug........

I can handle krayts, but once you get snared your in deep fodder. Take a friend and have some fun with them. Soloing Krayts is hit or miss now for me. Maybe i need to reinstall those cyber arms and conceal shot from 80m. This worked Pre24 not sure if it works now

which as I suggested earlier... the only way to solo em effectively is not to solo them at all ^_^


we used to call it the "Triangle of Death" did we not?

My feelings: bug

but maybethe devs where serious when they said that they had to follow player templates for skills used. Maybe theyhave a skill setwithout knockdown recovery.

krayts were easily soloable pre cu if you were a swordsmen...i could take any krayt (besides ancients which took longer) within 10 min.

True, didn't want to confuse the young pups though lol.

that reminds me, I miss the "duo of death for ancients"

since they had heavy armor and 95% resist across the board, except for cold, which was at 70% or something, there was only one effective non jedi way to take em down quickly. TKM with 90% kin armor and some medic, plus a Master Commando with 4 very fast flamers staking 14+ flame dots on em.

ahh.... the days of watching an ancient die with 250k + health wounds.... hell they don't even have that much health now.

stack the dot for the win -Woot!

yeah it was always cool to see 14 different dots hit



but that is the past T_T and soloing dragons is not the idea anymore.

I wasn't soloing them.... I was doing wholesale slaughter with a partner!


BIG difference!
