Well can they? I've tried with friends, and succeed, but never gone off on my own. Was just wondering if we could survive, and what would be the best support profession to help out TK? {Fencer I assume, MBrawler, w/some medic}
Also, what is you're tactic going into battle? I've experimented with ubese against high-end mobs, and works out pretty well as long as the mob does Kinetic damage.(call me crazy)

I've done it... took forever for no loot. I'm a TKM/Master Doc.

Right now any elite combat profession should be able to solo a krayt with enough buffs, good armor, a good weapon, proper knowledge and patience.
It really, really helps to either be a doc or group with a doc.
Also, not all krayts are equal. They range from a juvenile canyon krayt to an ancient krayt.

I wouldn't say any profession can do it by itself. If you don't have melee mitigation and defence you are going to get crushed. I solo them as a rifleman but if I didn't have those defences I'd be eatin.

Commandos do it and they have pretty much none of those defenses. Like I said, you gotta be smart. Commandos usually flame em and run or if they have smuggler they feign death.

i just keep flaming them, /intim, and heal myself... i very rarely have to FD against krayts (haven't seen an ancient to try yet)... a juvi/canyon spawn is tough but can be done pretty easily with my template and just standing there... giants are actully easier cause they only dizzy/kd, not stun....

actully, TKM with 80% kin comp armor (encb sliced to around 450/450/450) and novice medic you can tank a juvi or canyon without buffs other than a couple shotsof brandy...
i was teaching a friend how to solo them with his commando, i had my TKM/Ranger 0/0/4/0 / med 0/0/0/4 / BE 0/4/3/0 toon on collecting DNA samples near the graveyard... and a canyon popped up on area track... so i shot my friend a /tell... he got there with fresh buffs and procced to cook the dragon... the one thing he forgot was to check his armor (he had 2 broken peices)...
so i drank a couple brandies did a quick powerboost and taunted the dragon from him... all i did was drop intimidates and an cob a couple times... went through 2 stacks of 419 Bstems but i was hurting myself more with the intimidates and cob's than the dragon was hurting me...
we got all 4 spawns of the dragon... 3 pearls and a set of tissues...
wondering if it was a fluke i was out DNA sampleing the next night (buffed this time) found a juvi/canyon spawn... so i switched my TKM to my laptop and logged in my MCommando/MSmuggler... got him buffed and went out there...
needless to say all i did with my TKM was /taunt, /intim, /cob macro... my HAM never moved from the max lvls... my commando cooked all the dragons... don'tthink i'll do this again, its no fun without the danger... i usually just solo with the commando
but as for soloing the dragons with TK, a juvi (AR2 40%) wouldn't take too long, but a canyon or higher (AR3 60% or higher) would take a long time...

Im guessing it would take you well.. probly an hour atleast to solo it as a TKm as it took me something like 45 minutes as a M.swordsman. I can take any Krayt in under 15 minutes with my TKM/shocktrooper though

i see swordsman do it in just about the same amount of time as my MCommando for canyon (12 mins)... alot quicker for a juvi (3 mins)... and about 2 mins slower for a giant (15 mins)... haven't had an ancient to test it on, but i'd imagine that it would take about 45 mins for a swordsman and 20 for a commando...
tested this a few nights with a swordman that i see out there all the time... him going after the mind me doing burns...
