Thread: Klawegna Attention, Rifle Exploit?
I think Barb has answered your looting question with this:
as for the looting there is a looting bug that grants rights to whomever lands the DB. that is not a rifle issue it applies if a raw noob dancer came up and got the DB using a punch with a fist.
I've never been able to solo a fully grown Krayt without dying, my conceal shot always lands a bleed on it or it despawns long before I can kill it. The Juveniles on the other hand only have 40-45k HAM and much lower resistances, a hell of a lot less in comparison to the Canyon or Ancients. These are soloable, especially armored and buffed.. Heck I've seen a Master Heavy Swordsman fully buffed with a high Damage Powerhammer and Uber Kinetic resist composite solo a Canyon Krayt. He was a Master Doc as well btw. Not bagging anyone.. just saying Rifleman aren't the only ones who can solo this type of MOB, though it takes a bit more than Just Master Rifle to do so. Master CH / Master Rifle with a super Bio Pet could do it much better and faster than just a Master Rifleman. Equipment goes a long longway, as does the right combinationBuffs/Food/Spice.

Combat spam does not account for damage reduction from armor and resists. The commando's 3k is being reduced by 87.5% (no AP weapon vs heavy armor) then further reduced by 60% heat resist for a total of 5%actual damagewhereas T21 or heavy particle beam cannon is only reduced by 60% energy resist.

There could be a bug but I don't think the above is entirely true.. Myself and a couple of guildies were battling a Krayt last weekend and a Commando happened along and started to attack as well.. He was doing over 3k+per hit withI thinka Flame Thrower whereas I wasn't doing quite as much damage with my T21+Strafe2 on a hit for hit basis..
I saw the Floaty damage above the Dragon amidst my own damage.. I was too busy trying to stay alive and keep out of the range of the Krayt to take screenshots unfortunately and also wasnt really paying attention to what weapon he was using.. but it was something very nice.
ok i think it was a bugg that happened to your group . its not to hard for 2 mrifles to out dmg a small group i do it all the time any place with a high lvl/good loot dropping npc
but i m stil curiouse if the harvester thing is a exploit or not. i came accros a commando doing it AFK looping flame single 2 so i just out dmged him with strafe 2 from 54m,my ideal range, and a 759 max t21. i get have a ranger budy and track krayts then let other poeple find them and out dmg them with the same t21. it was original made at 424 max with the barrels/power handlers made on the day of the crafting nerf which turned out to be better on my server. its all about heavy ap and them tanking for me. but i see -1k over the krayts head with strafe 2. no sploitng for me but if that krayt harv thing isnt an exploit then i dont know waht is

In one breath you condemn exploiting, yet you openly admit that you killsteal all that you can. =(
I'll have to take your word for it but I did say I didn't take note of what weapon the guy was using.. all I know is he was doing more damage with it than I was on a Blow for Blow basis.. that's all I was trying to say.

There's no way a flamethrower could do 3k damage to a krayt unless their specials are bugged and aren't being reduced by armor and resists.

There's another way that these riflemen could have done more damage. Bleed damage does not count towards looting rights. If your group was relying on Flame Cone, the majority of your damage is coming from a bleed, which does nothing for your looting rights. So, you brought the HAM of a 300k HAM krayt down to 75k by doing an accumulated 25k counted dmg and these riflemen came along and did 50k plus counted HAM damage and got looting rights. It's possible, and I've seen similar scenarios happen.
