MR/MF Pharm4 and trickshot line in pistols also speed capped with FS melee speed line
Armor 80 or highr vs kenitic
full mind and health buffs
2 brandy,1 arisa, 1 synsteak and one piketa pie
As for tactics I run a stand macro and keep the giant canyons intimidated. Spam HS3 and throw in your mind shot 1 and 2 every once in a while. Spamming Strafe shot 2 also works... Healing as needed takes me about 25 minutes with my standard hunting T21 max dam 546
edit: dont run just stand thier if you kiteyou will aggro more giants or maybe an Ancient...

for anchient, the best way I have found, is to use 2 TKM tanks that have Pharm 4, a Sl to remove dizzy, and have a commando work the krayt for damage, they have 95% everything except cold (60%) and heavy armor, only a LS or massive fire dots will break that in a decent amopunt of time.

ancients are really that tough? i love my temp then, i was retreating but while they were intimidated i tanked 2 at a time then killed 1 of them solo for the most part and got a flawless pearl. 100 dizzy defence ftw

An ancient took 4 people for us to do it in 15minutes. 2 riflemen strafing with t21's and two tanks jsut taunting and doing a few specials. All normal weapons, krayts armor started to break after 10 minutes.

no offense, but i highly doubt it took 15 minutes wit h2 rifles and 2 tanks. It took a group of us with about 3 jedi 10 minutes per

Doubt it if you want, but just because you havent been able to do it, doesnt mean it cant be done.

You can't kill ancient in 15 minutes with 2 rifleman. 95% heavy armor...add its huge HAM bar to it. And add to it that SS2 is a random pool attack. You will hit him for 1-3k of damage (since it has heavy armor) than it translates into 50-150 damage. 300 DPS, assume that ur krayt was weak and had 300k ham , it will take more than 15 minutes to kill it even if you hit his health pool all the time.

there armor does break down after tme, but its ham will be about 2/3 gone before it starts to. Also I have never seen an anchient krayt that has below 400k ham, most are around 440k

hmmm well in my expirience this is the best advice i can give
Krayts in general
anytime your gonna kill a krayt their are some important things to remember! you need your
- Buffs!! - full set of buffs would be the best you could probibally pull away without having mind buffs though
- Food!! - You need to be fully preparred and this is how i do it
With mind buffs since im rifleman/doc i usually take 2 brandys, one citros snow cake, one synthesteak, and one space for canape if needed. (this way if i get aggroed due to an attack i have my synthesteak preventing the first couple of attacks and my accuracy all stacked up)
Without Mind Buffs - in this case i take 2 brandys and 2 ahrisas (all for ham costs)and leave the rest of the space for an emergency
- Weapons!! - your gonna wanna be stocked up. Lots of Pups for Dmg and your full array of weapons.
- Armor -your gonna need to be preparred with armor for your umm... possible beating you may take. Usually i go with a full set of Ubese but thats cause i can heal in case i get hit HARD! in any other case i wouold go with a set of 80% compo.
Juvenile Krayt Dragons
- Weapon of choice - a DXR6 with high DMG if possible. These little ones are pretty easy to beat with a DXR due to their lack of acid Dmg you wont need to worry about anything else if you have one set
Canyon Krayt Dragons
- Weapon of choice - Defenetally a T21 for the dmg!
- Strategy - in this case where you happen to see one of these lying around what i would do is this. Get a good range to begin with about 65m and prone and conceal! beware of the phantom bleed. if this occurs switch to your alternate meleeskill and if you dont have an alternate melee skill that can take dmg RUN!!!! you can always keep it in range while burst run and peace so you can go back after the bleed is gone and conceal once again!
Giant Canyan Krayt Dragons
- Weapon of choice - Defenetally a T21 like the previous one
- Strategy - Identical to that of the Canyan except on this one i would keep a very good distance in fear that if they come close... they will get ya with their dizzy KD. then your in trouble!
Ancient Krayt Dragons
honestly best advice for this one is... dont but if you wanna try solo
- Weapon Of Choice - T21 as usual
- Strategy - in this case you need to do the same as the Giant but.... if he catches up to you... i dont think you will make it hehe so cross your fingers and pray for the best!
Final Tips For you
- Remember rifleman are not tanks so... DONT TRY TO BE if a krayt comes to agro dont be afraid to hit that burstrun button
- Conceal shot is your best friend - With this attack they wont see ya till that darned phantom bleed so use it as much as desired
- Watch your ham! - be weary that this may drop in close combat with a krayt and ham cost.
Now thats every bit of advice i can give! good luck and remember... YOU CAN DO IT!

psssh lol he did say with 2 tanks and 2 rifleman strafing so i know it possible b/c i have done it also 12-15mins easy
if you use the right equipment (ie 570 unpuped t21)(758 w/pup) i hit for 5400 which is 370 after resists which is 700+ DPS

That's assuming you get a max damage hit EVERY time, on the SAME pool.

you can do them in 10 min with 1 rifleman and a tank if the t21 is powerful enough, and now with the decay kits those exceptional weapons are being used allot more.
