well after i made TKA i decided to hit up the force crystal caves and got my @ss handed to me prettty bad. I am currently a master pistoleer and master tka with smuggler 0040 for feign death and have medic skills that allow me to use stim c's, i am a Trandoshan, i have 80% kinetic armor (with no gloves or boots obviously and use 75% ubese bracers due to the lower encumberance, all comp is sliced for 30+ encumberance. Anyway so i had my doctor buff me up for 2400+ each stat, used 2 brandy 400+ BE stuff and did a powerboost before entering, also i think i took 2 peices of food that gave me 500+ for mind and focus, and another that gave me 400+ for focus and willpower. (also my stats are migrated to give me maximum mind stats) Also my main weapon is obviously the vibro knuckle

Anyway so upon entering the cave, there were some untrained dark force weilders or something, took out 3 of them at once with no issue, stats barely moved. i looted 300 credits and a encoded disk or whatever yay. anyway next room was 2 Force Crystal hunters, i peaced out and drew one of them out of the cave, they chased me indefinetly , i was hoping one would lose interest like most other mobs, but no luck, so 400m away from the cave i decided to engage both of them, i got both of them down to 30% health before i had to feign death, anyway they walked up into the mountain like 50m away and it said i couldnt see my target after i recovered from feign death, they disappeared after a minute or two, so i went back into the cave, found one by itself near the entrance in a small side room and drew it outside, i had a good 40-50m lead on him chasing him out to the exit of the cave and he still knocked me down from quite a distance twice! what the hell is that! anyway i used the macro that equipped a new weapon and shoot off 3 specials, that got me up both times. Anyway got him outside the cave, i could NOT knock him down at all, so i gave that special up, i spammed a few specials allowing for recovery time each time, but in the end again i could not take him because my mind would fall to a point where i barely had enough to feign death. ALSO the lag in this cave for me is HORRIBLE, i am on ahazi and most other planets i have no problem at all with but dant is BAD like i would get hit twice and before i knew it i would have like 10% of my health left and it lagged when i had no specials spammed and i tryed to apply a stim c to myself, it just took like 5-6 seconds after hitting my heal macro.

Bah that was longer than i wanted but anyway, anyone have any ideas on what i am doing wrong? i know the have heavy resists and 30k ham or whatever, buti think i should be able to solo one of these, should i be using some of my pistol skils to help with damage? i am not sure what skills to use as i am a master pistoleer and none of the specials i tryed really got off that much damage.

Any ideas would help

My recommendation if you want to hit up the Force Crystal Caves is to pretty much do exactly what you did.I'm not sure if its the armor holes Trandoshans have that was your bane or what. But I was able to tank six of the Crystal Hunters while my friend slowly widdled them away. Granted I poped 3 Mouns and was drinking Brandy and eating Vercupti to restore my mind. I had Stimpack D's avaliable to me, but I rarely used them in the fight. I utilized /center alot though and wasn't worrying about doing damage. Though I could have tanked them indefinately. My template is a little different from yours though. I'm TKM, MB, 4400 Fencer, 0040 Sword, 0040 Pike, and 2140 Medic. So I probably had a little better defenses then you, Armor's about the same. Were you using Intimidate at all? Warcry2 is also a good way to buy yourself a 30 second breather.

I went there the other day (tka/doc) and basically solo'd the place as a wookiee in 55% kinetic armor.

I had to leave because they just about broke my armor (1000 condition left on the leggings). When I left there were only 6-7 crystal hunters left standing.

Took on 3 crystal hunters at a time. Werent hard, just took a long time to kill.

Don't spam specials.

With 80% Kinetic resist mobs it is about whittling. If I see that they have high kinetic resist I try to get a KD and Dizzy Combo, (don't go crazy, I try 3 times and then usually wait a bit before trying again.), but primarily I stick with intimidate and Berzerk.

I throw out a stun, warcryor blind every now and again...

Spamming specials does more damage to you with no real noticeable damage increase to the MOB. Hit Intimidate and Berzerk and chop away.

***Armor buffs and brandy*** Always nice to juice up, get drunk, don your armor and just start punching stuff.

Thanks to Vasarian Brandy I am now the town drunk and ONLY go to the AA meetings to brag about the killing spree done during my drunken rage.
