OK here is my template.
MRifleman with +7 speed = Capped.
Master TKA= Capped.
Novice Bralwer 4xxx = Intimidate
Medic 2x4x = STIM E's woth 40 Med use (I have 1300 heal stims..Not that i use em)
Lots of points left over...
DEFvs DIZZY = +20 lol
DEF vs KD = +20 lolol
You will not need the following.
1) You will not need Dancer or Musician mind buffs
2) You will not need to heal at all.
3) You will not need to use Warcry.
4) You will not need to Kite
5) You will not need an Uber T21... Get a 179-410 T21 and get a 30%ish damage slice.
6) You will not need A TANK.
You will need the following.
1) A Buff
2) 80% Kinetic Composite Armor. (Helmet, Gloves, Chest, Boots) (Optionals are the +17 intimidate clothing)
3) Intimidate1 bound to one of you Fxx Keys. (I use F7)
4) T21 and VK (Or whatever melee weapon) in your Quick Use slots F11 and F12 for me.
5) Thakitillo - Anything with a +80 Defense vs Knockdown is good.
6) Optional is Ithorian Mist. +21 is good.
7) 2x Vasarian Brandy. (Take these 6 mins before you fight so you can use an ithorian mist aswell)
8) 1x Ahrisa
9) 1x Moun Gold...Only if things start getting hairy.
Here is how i do it. Takes about 13-15 mins Per Giant Canyon Krayt.
:When i see the animal. I take 2 Brandys. Wait 5 mins. Take an ithorian Mist, Eat 1 Thakitillo, Eat 1 Ahrisa. Use MS2, MS2, MS1, MS1 then use Intimidate 3 times.The dragon is on top of you at this stage and he is intimidated. As you have a rifle equipped he will hit for roughly 50-100 per hit when intimidated. I spam about 25 SS2's then Intim 3 times. Then Spam SS2 again. FORGET HEADSHOT3. SS2 will hit all3 pools. It also has a 5x Damage multiplier.... When the krayts health bar is at around 65% his armour starts to degrade. (If you use HS3 that only has a 3x Damage modifier so you have to wait until his mind is like 40% before is armour starts to break.) Once his armor starts to degrade you will notice the dragon getting hit very hard.
What do i do when i get knocked down you ask? You will get knocked down and dizzied. But not as often as you will think. I killed one and got KD's about 5 times. WHen you get knocked down DO NOT Hit stand. Click on your Melee weapon in your toolbar. Your charactor will stand up 8 out of 10 times. Use CoB, Intim 3 times then switch back to T21 and spam SS2 again. I actually like getting KD's because i can then use CoB and Intim. (Kinda like a rest bite). If you need to heal...Wait until you have about 50% health left... You will not need to heal much. REMEBER. Always switch to your melee weapon when you get KD'd. You will take less damage. And you have a chance to stand and keep fighting.
MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THE WHOLE BATTLE: Make sure you keep the Krayt intimidated. I had a few tanks with me before who kept forgetting. They were master swords and master brawler blah blah. I kept having to come back into melee range to heal them.
So.
1) Take the food and drink.
2) INTIMIDATE.
3) SS2, SS2 and oh yes...More SS2.
4) INTIMIDATE...And Yes..You can intimidate when holding a Rifle.
5) Heal every now and then.
6) When you fall..DONT STAND...Switch To Melee weapon. If you dont stand and you flop around like a fish..It dont matter. He's intimidated. You have a melee weapon, and you have 80% composit armor. You wont flop much with thakitillo and anti dizzy anyway.
7) More INTIMIDATE
8) AND WAY MORE SS2......
I killed 18 yesterday on my own... I have TKA... You can have any other melee proff. It's only the mitigation that saves you. And also the food. I would suggest this template..
MRifleman
Master TKA
Medic 2x4x
Pistoleer xx4x (For +40 Stun, Dizzy, KD and Posture Down)
Any comments? And if it doesn;t work for you...Come watch me do it....

The only reason anyone would get killed when fighting these is if they don't use INTIM. And they don't have the 4 piece armor suit on.

you really need to retitle your thread to
Re: Giant Cantons as a MRifleman/Brawler.... Easy
because it is not just the Rifleman that makes it easy - in fact most of your strategy uses a brawler skill.

Erm you may be right. But i KILL the dragons with Rifleman. I only use brawler/tka as defese. Icould do it without brawler like i used to...it's a pain tho.

Too bad after CU this won't work, per se. This is the HUGE downside that I don't like about the CU. They say we won't be able to defense/stat stack.

yeah - it does not incease the chance of the skill sticking but it does increase the length of the intimidate

I'm a MR and a Mfencer so this is kind of interesting to me. The only thing is I've committed several skill points to my fs grind (and by grind I mean I turn in some xp for fp maybe once amonth). So I don't think the pistoleer would be an option for me

You don't need pistoleer. My curent template is MRifleman, MTKA, Medic 2x4x. about 13 mins per dragon. Never once have i nearly been incapped.
