well...as I said, it barely hit me at all when I was tanking, so yes, as a TKM, if I was left alone with a Krayt for a good half hour or so, I could solo it, assuming it didn't get a few lucky armor hole hits in...With intimidate 2 from Master Brawler, I would do even better...
3 at a time though...seems a bit out there...

I've done something similar to this with Swordsman, but I had Blast damage. It's really not as hard as you think, at Master Brawler / Teras Kasi Master you have like 62 Unarmed Toughness, which is a 62% melee damage reduction before Armor / Melee Defense / etc... Ranged people get no toughness, so even if you had capped ranged and melee defense the melee fighter would be more impressive at PvE. The reason ranged people can't solo the observer is because your using a ranged weapon on him. He has an insanly powerful ranged attack, but once you get close he switches to melee and he loses that attack plus melee get all that damage reduction. Hope this helps.

"Now at last to my question for TKM's. I know nada about the profession, but can every TKM solo multiple krayts? If not, can a TKM solo a SINGLE krayt? The responses here will determine whether or not my screenies get sent in and his name reported. Thanks for your looks and if TKM's can actually do this....I'm looking for a new line of work"
Vep does that say Im turning in every TKM for exploiting? no it doesnt. It says that unless someone can explain how this is done then YES he would be reported for it. BUT IT DOES NOT SAY THAT HE IS GOING TO REPORT ANYONE! I guess you gotta read between the lines man... Dont mean to flame you but c'mon dude.... he didnt say he IS GOING TO report anyone, just that he would if it went unexplained and i would to for that matter
Anyway, thanks to everyone who responded. I am going to finish merchant and carbineer and then i will be joining your tough-ass ranks and rancor anklebiters. Im a virgin melee guy too
should be fun
Thanks again to everyone that gave useful info into this. Everyone that just wanted to complain piss off...

right now, if you dont wear your knucklers, tk's are the only ones who dont suffer from armor holes.
that means every shot was reduced by 80%. that makes it possible.
but dont krayts have a good amount of armor? without knucklers he'd be doing squat for damage.

Its really only the canyon and ancient krayts that are not soloable. The juvenill'es and adults are soloable. The resists aren't so insane. but a Canyon krayt... forget that sh**. Would take a TKA hours to solo one.
As far as taking a beating from a krayt that's pretty easy for a TKM with buffs, and armor.

1st off, I don't believe you know this guys full template, being that you said he did not respond to you when you tried to speak with him. I believe that a TKM/Fencer 4/0/0/0 , medic 4 1 4 0, master swords (like me) could probably put up a VERY swell fight to these krayts. He probably was wearing 80% kinetic, +unarmed toughness, and most likely centered, and kept them intimidated, if he was a smart TKM. In my opinion, I think a TKM, or even a master swords could solo atleast one, and probably 3 if he was well equiped with food, drink, and spice. Especialy with buffs, and mind buffs along with substats.
2nd off, maybe he just needed a quick ride back to the starport and just put up the best fight he could, and got him self killed? Don't see anything in your post that has to do with an exploit, or cheating.

Yea, im curious as well... i have witnessed someone pretty much SOLO the tusken Observer. When i asked him about how he was able to do it, he replied that he had a 45% IMP. PSG and 85% comp armor. (funny thats EXACTLY what i have) and the Observer can take me down in 2 or 3 shots.Thanks guys for all your help,Wateo
I managed to solo an observer as a swordsman/doc.. I pretty much spammed headhit 3 whith a self heasl after every 2 or 3 hits, while wearing 80% kinetic comp arour..oh and buffed t the hilt of course..still went through about 12 doses of brandy and 2 muons doing it mind...fun. Now i'm a carbineer and I can't kill much of anything hehe..

I have soloed the fire breathing spider with nothing but ease. I have also soloed the Acklay. Actually, I had assistance of another person. I tried a krayt, it was a giant canyon krayt. It could KD/dizzy and was hitting very hard. I survived for a while, because I could heal my self with E stims, and was well protected. a TKM can not solo 3 without some sort of exploit. And if the TKM could, it would take them a very very very very very very very very VERY long time.

its actually not that hard... i have taken down 2 juvi's and 2 normal krayt dragons before... if you do it right it is actually quite a mundane task.. it takes a long while and if your really unlucky they might pop on you..

if you guys cant do it.. then you dont know the proffession very well.. just keep 3 of the 4 on warcry and intim them all and take the juvies out first... its not an exploit man, you just saw the first tkm who ACTUALLY knew how to use his proffession

as for the tusken observer, dont use ranged attacks silly. i am a TKM/master sharpshooter and i get incapped in less than 10 seconds if i use rifle, but can punch him in the face all day. you get hit so much harder with a ranged attack from any of the 4 big tuskens (observer, witch doctor, executioner, king)
