Ok ive been a Swordsman for a while but ive never really tried soloing any serious MOBS, i recently finished the melee speed tree in the fs trees.
I have +75 speed with Master Swords, and 12+ with the speed, that makes me at 87+.
I have a 5.8 spd 610 dam sliced PH.
Do you think i can solo them

I've never heard of strictly just a swordsman being able to solo one. But it might be possible to do so with the new FS mods.
1. I think master Brawler would be a help for the warcry 2. (that is if it would ever hit, but in theory it should help)
2. I would go for an Acklay enhanced powerhammer with some nice damage and a speed slice. (Higher damage and a much faster swing than what you have now. Cause 5.8 for only 610 damage isn't very good.)
But I'vesolo'd with my swordsman every creature on the servers with the exception of a krayt. The last time I tried it I got my butt handed to me and that wasn't even an ancient krayt.

Yes, Swordsman can solo a Krayt.
If you have a defensive stack you will do just fine.

At 87spd you'd do best with a geonosian cored hammer. Something with good speed and a damage slice I'd say. And yes, krayts are pretty easy to solo, even if they take a while. The thing to worry about is groups of dedicated krayt hunters that are ready to killsteal on a moment's notice.

I never said you couldn't solo one. I just gave ways to help improve your chances of success.
Now that I've said that, deep in my gut I fear with Swordsman being the PvE powerhouse we are. I have this bad feeling that I feel a nerf bat coming. I say that because last winter when they did all the creatureHAM adjustment's. The devs said there are some creatures that they felt should just "NEVER" be solo'd. I certainly think a Krayt wouldfall under that catagory. Who knows the nerfmightcome in the form of the pc HAM adjustments they talked about doing so long ago.

Just FYI. The following line is his sig:
"Just because you can't, don't complain about those who can."
It wasn't a remark directed at your reply to this thread. lol! I thought it was at first too, but then I looked at the rest of his posts and he's got the same line at the end of every one of them.

Also, i think NS elders put up more of a fight than Krayts anyways.

Elders keep you on your toes more. Bleeds and specials can put you in a sorry place real quick, especially if they're wielding a power hammer.

Krayts are SO not worth it so far in my book..
i'd rather do 15 genosians at once at the genosian cave.. least they loot decent stuff more often.. and dont take 45 mins to kill.
First off, id like to say, you dont kill high lvl mobs for XP, that shouldnt even be brought into account. Next, i'd like to say that loot is luck, which is why loot sells for so much more then anything else. It's a gamble. Sure, you could go down 1/4 of the condition on your armor, but if you get a krayt pearl that sells for 5mil? Was it worth it? Yes. If you solo an elder, get an exceptional weapon, with 400 mind fire thats useable at novice marksman, was it worth it? Yes. If you want assured money, craft. If you want more money, at a higher risk, then loot. If your grinding FS xp, go play in the geo caves, if your looking for cheap loot at a less risk, go to the geo labs. However, i'd like to point out that while you can kill all the geos you can on 1 buff session, doesnt mean youll get the payoff of spending 10-20min to solo a krayt, or 5-10min to solo an elder. Yesterday, i was killing elders for most of the day, got an exceptional SR combat pistol.
Heres the stats :
alertness +12
pistol acc +22
Pistol acc while moving +25
1.7
51-170
health poison dot
468 str
477 duration
249% pot
23995 uses
I also looted 3 premium crystals, which on my server, with all the new jedi popping out everywhere, sell for 4-5mil per. So was going through a set or 2 of armor yesterday worth that loot? There's no way i could say it wasn't worth it.

yea as long as you keep kryats intimidated there is no real threat, even the ancients. with the ancients it's all about how long it takes to kill those suckers. forever!
elders are definitely harder. you can int, stun, puch her in the face, and at any moment she can hit you with one of those bleeds and you could be in a bad spot quick.

master swords can solo krayt easy...just gotta be sure to keep it intimidated at all times, so it does hardly any dmg. dont bother withbleeds...they're only worth a -1 per bleed on krayts for some reason.
