Not telling!

If I knew how to make a cool hyperlink I would, but the tags don't seem to work in here...
Anyways, here's the story....
A long time ago... in a galaxy far far away, there was an innocent Master Swordsman, happily playing with treasure maps on the planet of Yavin4. Having been reminded about how much treasure maps suck he decided to head on in to the mining outpost, and maybe on to Coronet to get himself a nice buff before going to kill night sisters (a favourite passtime of his).
Just then, he sights a red dot on the radar. 'What might that be?' he asks himself without too much interest, but then he see's it... it's enourmous! Towering on the horizon like a giant oak... it's a Gorax!
Panting he pulls in to about 80m from it, cursing his luck for not being buffed. He sends a desperate cry to his guildmates, the mighty RSE. They respond and begin to make the journey to Yavin4. All the while, Ichi waits, wondering if the gods of SWG will make this rare beast dissapear...
But they do not, and the troop assembles, bravely Ichiban leads the beast to his comrades and the battle is begun. So dizzy, so very dizzy... still the battle continues.
Finally, after much chasing and falling over, the beast is defeated... the battle is won. We extract his bones, only to find that we cannot make a power hammer out of them... at which point Ichi begins to curse
All in all a worthy foe, although it is not as powerful as a Krayt dragon, it was still fun to kill. If you have any doctoring skills that would be quite handy, as well as a couple tanks, as this thing moves fast. With burst run I could keep up to him if he had his mind set on moving somewhere. Could he be solo'd you ask? Quite likely, he hits hard, but with a good buff and some medic skills you'd be fine.
Enjoy!

I couldn't agree more. Admittedly, Master Swordsman (speedcapped) / Master Doc is pretty much the ultimate solo PvE template, but still, I should've been smeared all over Lok. It's the armour/buffs that do it though. I solo'd a GDK while I was levelling up, with Swordsman 0/2/1/1, and no disease cures. That was, admittedly, more of a challenge, but there's no way it should even be possible.
Fingers crossed forthe rebalance - I can't wait to be forced to use my brain to kill things, and to have creatures in the game which I simply can not kill without backup
In the meantime, I can't bring myself to nerf my own build just to get more challenge, so beasties like the Gorax will just have to keep looking over their shoulder
