I would imagine that good high kinetic armor + good buffs = dead rancors.
I've taken on multiple enraged rancors simultaneously and I'm not TKM yet (although that should change before I leave work today).

not true.
i routinely take out enraged rancors without armour. up to 6 of them can be done at one time. the best method to take a monster down is to KD it then pound unarmedhit3 till dead. even crappy doctor buff will enable you to tank without armour on anything less than one of the 300k+ ham monsters can be done easily without armour. another handy skill is intimidate. if you find your still not being successful or taking a lot of damage hit the things around you with intimidate. intimidate basically applies a 50% damage penalty to whatever is intimidated.
taking on a lair 101...
1. DONT HIT THE LAIR FIRST.
2. take out the current spawn.
3. once spawn is dead hit the lair ONE TIME and wait for the next set to spawn. once monster appears attack it and keep killing them as they spawn.
4. take out second set of monsters. once they are dead attack the lair until the first monster appears. STOP HITTING THE LAIR WHEN IT APPEARS.
5. by the time you kill off that monster a second will appear and so on till the last spawn appears.
6. finish killing the lair.
the whole process should take less than 5 minutes.
one other thing if you dont have VK buy some and use em. even crappy VK are better than fists because of the AP1 of VK. fists are AP0 and attacking rancors without a VK will put you at a huge damage reduction.
Not bad tips, and taking a rancor lair in 5 minutes isn't bad. Maybe i'll just do that next time I'm in game.
But I was hoping someone could tell me about these TKM that I've heard can take a lair in 16-20 seconds. Is this a myth? an exploit? or is there really a way to do that? Anyhow thanks for the current advice, and if anyone else has some wisdom they'd like to disspell on me feel free

Hope this helps

I keep hearing that janta and mokk shaman missions are better than Enraged Rancor missions, but in a solo group of around 12 people I was pulling the rancor missions for 37K each, pre-term slice.
I also don't understand how as a TKM you're having trouble with it. I was fully buffed, including entertainer buffs, so maybe that's the huge difference, but I wasn't even using brandy. I had on 66% ubese armor, and some decent VKs. I would nail the lair for all it was worth, sometimes completely destroying it and sometimes they healed it. Either way, taking out the 6 or 7 rancors was absolutely no big deal. As a matter of fact, sometimes there wasn't any white at all on my HAM bars while fighting 6 rancors at once. And all I was doing was killing one with UAH3 and moving on to the next.
Went on Rancor mission solo group just to try it out (sick of naffs). Only took one mission and did fine and I am not even TKM yet. Had buffs and my armor is 70% kinetic resist ubese. Took me a while though.

You can always use tactical thinking and pull 1-2 at a time.. start from a distance and walk up to the stragglers til you are bout 30m away then turn and run away ... get them about 45m+ away from the others before you start attacking in earnest... you might have to adjust that 30m distance a bit... but I can regularly pull 1-2 out of a lair that has more rancor than I want to try at one time.. not hard at all, it just takes patience..
then just warcry, intimidate then stun them.. .then go to town
