i am recently made master rifle, and i went yesterday to kill krayts with some nice rifles,
you just need 85% armor intimidate and novice medic,
juvis were increedible easy, and i even killed 1 unarmored without intimidate him
canyons, droped in 5-6 minutes, using intimidate the krayt almsot scratched me,
killed 1 giant, took 12minutesdue to constant dizzy/kd and dmg of him was strong, yes but its easy to survive, it matters of intimidate
Acients, i havent try yet
so for elders
i enver seen something easier in my life, it took me 3 minutes with an 800+ puped adk t21,
i came to the cave intimdate her, i pulled out of the cave, and he just hiited me like 4 times, kiting or whatever it calls its very easy
in conclusion you can tank any mob including acient krayts, but you will need obligatory intimidate, 90% armor, some medic skills and melee dmg mitigatiom

hmm, ancients would be a bit tricky. As for juvies, not even worth talking about b/c its the easiest thing in the world, and anybody and their mom can do it. For juvies, i use my 800 pup DxR on them, then for Giants i use my 900 pup T 21. Giants can get hard at times, depending on how you decide to do it, and whats around you ( like ancients ). As for elders, easiest thing in the world, especially at NS STRONGHOLD where all you have to do is go up there, attack elder, burst run and run around those lil huts at a distance where he cant hit you and you can still shoot through the huts. So the only thing i can think of that you posted that would be hard would be the Ancients, which i havent really tried to fight one on one. My friend usually tanks for me (master swords, master healer, and part something else), and we usually just keep a jedi with us and its a few secs till death. IN CONCLUSION- lets talk about something worth tanking, not some stupd @ss juvi

Enjoy it for the next 2 or 3 weeks because once the CU hits you will NOT be able to do this.

You are not tanking with your rifflemen skills, therefore your post about being able to tank as a riffleman is BS. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to incorporate skills from other proffesions; so, quit your braging already.

hmm, well i am master rifleman, with part medic, and part commando and novice brawler. ( template sucks atm cuz of FS stuff). Newayz, i can solo Giant Krayt and Elders with ease ( of course elders is more of a move around dealio). So technically i wouldnt say i tank them, but i do kill them

master rifle+pike,medic 2x4x and pistol xx3x...
krayts up togiant can be done semi afk(if you hear that you have been kd,you need to stand up...).
with 85-88% armor a giant will need about 5-6 D-Stims(using a 220-1030 t-21).
simply use a macro with 7-8 strafe2 and intimidate in it...
for elders its about the same-only thing is,i wouldnt try em semi afk-the bleeds are nasty...
but-tanking these mobs,isnt the fastest way to kill em-i get to much misses on elders,when i m in close combat...kiting em needs 4-5 mins...tanking 6-7 :-(

So basically, your post is stating that a rifleman can tank anything by not being a rifleman?
Sorry, I don't follow your line or reasoning here. Drop all skills but rifleman, and try the same. Come back here and tell us if "rifleman can't tank elders and krayts being BS".
