I'm bored. I'm going big game hunting. Killed a few elders for old-timeys sake. Also killed some singing mountain clan council women. 'bout 250k HAM a little easier than the elders, but didn't kill enough to see if the loot was worth it. My new goal is to try and solo everything with more than 100k HAM, and take some purty screenshots for posterity. (with the possible exception of the Jedi Sentinals)

Anywho, Gorax, DJM's and Giant/Ancient Kryats are pretty much the only things I haven't gotten around to soloing. Err.. at least since the HAM boost. Remember when Mr. Dark Jedi only had 25k Ham? And we thought he was a tough S.O.B.? yah.. good times.

Point.. a point.. this post needs a point.

Has anyone had any recent experience with any of these things with a swordsman centric setup? Soloable with just novice medic? 2-0-4-0 medic? doctor? Rough estimate of time? I'm thinking it's gonna take awhile on the dragon, My current hammer is just a stock arox hammer with a moderate damage slice lol.. I'm so poor. Need to fix that. But solo groups are boooring.

But swordsman is all about the big game hunting. Maybe i'll post some screenies of me vs. the Elders & Council Women for those of you who still have questions on how to do this. I know theres a few good threads on huntin elders, but not so much for the other things. Gonna have to work on that.

Each krayt takes a good part of 30 minutes or so, the constant beating on your armor will take a toll.

I have done a lot of krayt killingand can tell you for soloing atleast that novice medic won't cut it, they don't bleed though so you can just use pharm 4. They dizzy blind stun and KD so you will probably want doc or fencer/tka defense. The gorax is rare and I've never faught him but he looks easy. You should probably go for the acklay too but that's like 85k HAM I think but still good loot, and what'a DJM? I feel stupid

You're not stupid, i've seen your work =) DJM = Dark Jedi Master. Lightsaber + 350k HAM? or 400k? I forget. Lots and lots. Looks hurty. Anyway this is exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for . I've currently got TKA 4004 & Fencer 3/4/4/0 for defences (*defenses?) which is kinda generic but it suits my needs at the moment. And I will be picking up an acklay soon. My auction finishes tomorrow, and it's up to 1.7 million =) which isn't a whole lot, but enough for a low end hammer.

ehrm they are pretty dam hurty yeah, since the lightsaber should be doing Lightsaber dmg you wont need much armour all you have to do is die every 2mins or so.

Also defences do nothing in PvE, if i was all about PvE i would go Swords/doc. And if i got to pick a firend he would be rifle/cm

Yah, from a sheer numbers standpoint healing = damage mitigation. The object of the game is to keep HAM > 0. And melee defense just doesn't do jack against high level stuff, and healstate > state defense. unless you have perfect state defense. I'm planning to migrate to Doc in the near future, but never get around to it on account of sheer laziness. But this DJM thing intrigues me. How to beat one solo? Mad Doc healing + no armor + 2700 buffs + intimidate + stun + COB +TKA powerboost + synthsteak mebbe. But I can't see synthsteak lasting long at all. 40hits = 20 seconds of protection? with 33 filling what am I gonna do, feign death for 45 minutes until I can use more? Lol..

a smuggler/commando or a smuggler/bh can solo a DJM (and probably a smuggler/CM too)...

i doubt any melee prof could solo one though, they hit for lots of damage... i was able to tank one for about 2 minutes with a new PSG on, but then he one shotted my mind heh.
