Just Novice Doc and CM? how much of those profs did you take? Sorry, all the questions, but Im finishing up with Rifleman and want to add in some great support for it so I can do some decent pvp and high lvl hunting. Im a long time carbineer and have always enjoyed ranged weapons over melee, which Ive done extensively too, but I've found I really enjoy the skill of using a rifle.
I don't know about him, but my alt is Mrifles/Doc 3040/CM4004
works very well

I've tried and tried... nothing doing. Now with a TK/Doc tank. Ya no problem. Just make sure they understand that their whole job is to say alive and keep it off you. That does not include then trying to do damage, lol. Beat it in their head (with the butt of your T21 if you have to) /tuant, /intimidate, stim.

Yeh a grouped SL helps, but I enjoy doing something with my alt. I've tried Canyons etc. with Headshot and 90% armor, still don't last longe rthan a minute or two. It's much easier to just have a friend tank for you.
ok then you are a noob
I was out soloing krayts with my 90% armor, no problem, I did have intim tho. Its really not that hard, just heal when needed.
If your into soloing krayts, pick up Swordsman, and get speed capped.

WRONG. First off, you don't have to unequip your rifle to throw an intimidate or a warcry. Second, having melee skills of anykind is not needed to solo a krayt. (exclude ancients, I hate those bastards) My template is Master Rifleman, 4004 doctor and 3004 combat medic, and I do fine against krayts. You just need to know your proffesion and how to use your abilities well.

No you dont. Look at my picture again, see that I actually have only one food in my belly, and that would be brandy. I only take vercupti or canape if things start to get scary and as a last resort. How do I stay off my back? Dizzy state cures. To solo one giant canyon, I roughly go through 50 dizzy state stimpacks and about 50-70 dmg cures.
And again, I DO NOT have tkm toughness, I am not even novice brawler, I have almost the same template as that guy above who has rifleman/cm/doc.
Again, I am only using roughly 80% kinetic armor, 420 mind buff brandy stacked, 800+ dmg t21, tons of dizzy state cures and 1200+dmg healing med packs, venom poison and disease a-b-c stacked.

Listen to this guy, he knows what he is talking about. Learn your profession, play your profession. Don't come into rifleman thinking you can solo krayts the next day.
I have been rifleman for over a year, and barely just now able to solo them. This is after learning what works, and what doesn't. I have grinded rifleman like grinding a Jedi. I am +25 rifle accuracy, +7 rifle speed, +15 rifle accuracy while moving, +25 injury and wound treatment, high dmg t21. I have been doing this forever. Apply the same techniques used for PvP against krayt dragons, and you will be ok.

Well, I remember soloing a giant krayt a couple months back, as soon as he died his corpse disappeared before I could loot it. W-T-F. It was close to a server boundry, but still very frustrating. So I never done it again to save me the disappointent. But it is possible. I'm Master Doc/Master Rifleman. I was running a lot to keep a distance of about 50m between the krayt and myself and I went to a lot of stim packs too...
