Thread: Props to the people who can solo the high end mobs.. but
this is how i solo the entire geo caves
my template master tka/master heavy swordsman/ master brawler
always intimidate 2 every thing in there
i have 80% kinetic armour with 70-90% base suite
docter buffs
vasarian brandy 402 /42mins 804 buff to willpoer/mind/focus
ahrisa 401 /42 1203 buff to focus
so hams cost nothing then i have a 600+ damage sliced power hammer
its easy really
im a mhs/mdoc i do just fine with everything as long as im buffed and brandy ....i also have all my secondary stats maxed for maximium regen speed and a musicians buff will do awsome things to heal your mind quick..
i have solo'd everyhigh end mob with this template 80% comp armour buffed brandy music and dancer buff and im pretty much indestructable at pve.. giant krayt takes a long time and puts a pounding on your armour but it can be done. and being master doc definiatley helps..to heal and cure states.....btw my extra points are in scout- hunting1 just so i can harvest meat for buffs.....my only problem is when i forget to check the mobs resitances and use the wrong wep....i have a 450dam 3.1 ph and a 400dam 1.8spd scythe and dont waste my time finding pu's for them becuase they do just fine..both r sliced...
so for me its all about the buffs (doc and music/dancer)and armour .. dont use food ...
...probally could use a few tips on that to make it easier for me..my only problem came from a mokk rockshaper i believe ..it has 100%resist to blast and kinetic ..so i just head hit 2-head hit 1 then let it bleed out ..luckly only had to bleed 15k...
the reason why u cant solo the hard stuff is coz swordsman on its own sucks, well its defenses do. Swordsmen are pure damage, you look at everyone else here saying they can solo everything they either have stacked defenses or great healing, most of the time both.
Master swordsman on his own only has a pathetic 20 melee defense, most of these stacked templates will have 125 melee defense.
THat's a damn nice scythe in the afformentioned post.
Anyway, I can solo everything but Lord Nyax. It never fails, I run in and he finds a hole in my armor, I see a big -4000 + above my head and all I can do is stare and give my computer the finger. Nightsister Elders are pretty easy, but, same thing with Nyax, you have to be careful when they find an armor hole, it can be devastating.
As for us being pure offense, I'm used to it.I was 2/4/4/4 BH before I dropped it to try something new. A Novice Brawler has more defense than a BH (with the exception of mitigation)

well that would explain it...
crap
Bringing this post back from the dead because I just solo'ed my first nightsister elder 
I used an acklay powerhammer and kept her intimidated the whole time whilst spamming head hit 3.. took about 20mins and had to retreat half way through to let myself heal
It was the most fun I've hadso far in this game...
