Hey fellow TKA's,

After doing some extensive Baz Nitch hunting all night last night i've found the xp still to be amazing and the 10k reward sweet.

Ok, you will need to have some CH skill. It's a sad fact but it will take you FOREVER without it. And you'll run a lot as they aggro you.

So, get CH for a pet. I know CH will be nerfed soon, but i'm on my way to mastering that too. So, bring out a nice 10k ham bar pet...ala Gurreck or Rancor. I prefer Gurrecks imo.

So, you find the lair, it should have 3-4 of the lil pudgy bastards. Sick your Gurreck on it and give it a few seconds to solidify the aggro. You run up and go balistic on one of the lil chickens. Gurreck has 35% kintetic resist and takes around 35 damage per hit from the ugly bastages. He'll be more then fine tanking 3-4 of them for a while with a 10k ham bar and if you have, like me, use Stimpack C's. A nice 500+ heal every now and again.

You'll drop 1, then another, then another. So you've just killed 4 of them in a few minutes. Lots 'o xp there people, lots. Heal your gurreck and yourself, in case you got aggro'd (Which you probably did. I wear full comp armor minus the helmet ~I have a helm, i just dont use it for melee combat as i need my mind to recharge fast enough to use my stimpack C's~ trust me, with full comp armor on the ugly lil chickens hit me for around 30-40 damage. With only 1 hitting me i can let it hit me for a while, pump 1 shot of stimpack C, heal it all up, go back to pounding the bugger.).

Once your all healed up, and your pet, hit the lair until you drop it to 6k hp. I notice they don't come out until it's at 6k, then about 4-5-6 of them go ape crazy and pop out. Again, same thing, gurreck attacks and draws aggro, you pick them off 1 by 1. Even with 6 baz's aggroing my gurreck i was able to drop them all and my Gurreck had about half ham bar left.

Then, go back to lair. Rinse, repeat. Will take you about 20 minutes to pop the lair. Maybe even longer. First time took me half an hour. But, you're also getting well over 20k xp per lair you kill. Do that for a day. A good solid 4-5 hours, you'll get around 300-400k xp and have made a cool 200k creds to boot. Do this before they nerf CH, you'll regret not doing it then.

Oh and i keep telling people this, don't go fighting Nym's until you get knockdown 1 people. If you have a pet and a gun, no problem, nym never aggro's you. But once you get into melee, the Nym will kill you unless you can knock it down. For now, i stand by the ugly chickens (Baz nitches). Still great fast xp.

Where do I find these?

Dathomir. Take a shuttle from Corellia to get there. Go to the trade outpost.

FYI, they have completely messed up Dathmoir. Just getting to my mission i had to go around well over dozens and dozens of other aggro baz nitches, witches, reptilian flyers, rancors. It was ridiculous. I took a screenshot of myself in the center and red dots all around me. 360 degree's of red...was freaky.

You can actually still solo them as a TK with KD if you run around till you find a 'small' lair. That is, one with anywhere from 1-3 at it. I did this very successfully. I can even solo up to 3 of the GBN but can be tricky. (solo as in no pets/robots or anyone else)

Of course, after this next patch, I expect this not to be possible with the changes to KD.

So you just spam knockdown or what? This does not do too much damage for me.

Create a macro or alias that does 10 KD in a row, hit each incoming GBN with those 10. Put on your VKs, Berserk, then go to town on the first one you started knocking down and then switch to your next. If you had 2-3 come, you will have to reapply some KDs.

Boy am I glad I made master before the baz nitch nerf. That last night (last friday, since my server was one of the last patched) I played from 5 pm till 2am just so I could get master and not have to worry about griding away post nerf.

Anytime anyone finds a good way to level (and face it leveling in this game is as boring as crap, unlike other games, and grouping is gimped, because all anyone tries to do is the most damage) they just nerf it. They seriously need to take another look at shared group exp, making mobs harder, because this soloing while alright for a bit gets old and boring.

Oh well on to crafting

Sorry bro, but i don't believe you when you say this. You attack 1, draw an aggro of 2 more. That's 3 Baz nitches hitting YOU. You spam KD on 1 of them 10 times, that's 10 combat rounds. So 1 is kept down while the other 2 hit you, let's say 5 times each during that time. If your wearing full comp armor your taking between 40-80 damager per hit, times 10...so that's 800+ damage+the KD ham cost of spamming it 10 times. Ok, you use stimpack c's or D's, but your mind is also being hit. You spam KD x 10 on the 2nd baz nitch, the 3rd is still hitting you. No way your surviving 20 combat rounds with 3 Baz nitches.

Disarmed 2 i would understand, since it's cheaply AE. Charge shot 2? Sure. But KD 1 even 2? No way.

This sounds rediculous. Soloing Baz Nitches is still little to worry about as a TKM. So 3 or 4 may agro you at one time? If you can't handle the crowd control then find a new class. Of course this all means jack once they nerf KD into making our class completely worthless in this game.

From now on you'll be required to have a medic with you at ALL times if you want to do any xp grinding whatsoever. This is utter bs in my opinion. SOE is going to be loosing a ton of customers very soon.

Baz nitches are aggro and BAF (They help each other out) and most Lairs have between 3-5 Baz nitches out at one time. Attack 1, they all rush you. Hence why i use my Pet to get agg while i pick them off. And even my 10k HAM gurreck looses about half of that when 5+ Baz nitches beat on it. This guy is soloing 3 by himself and no pet? No way, KD or not.

You don't need CH skills. I don't have a problem solo'ing 4 at a time with TKA and 2 at a time with my Pistoleer skills. Just takes a little longer that's all.

Once the big update comes you can send your gurreck to attack the lair and tank all the MBNs. Easy money.

I too can solo 3 to 4 at a time. If you get that many you knock them all down with just one KD. Then go back to the frist one and do KD about 8 to 10 times. Make sure you have no VKs on. Then do the same to the others. This will keep them stunned alot longer and you can kill them. I think it was a big improvment when they changed them. I started getting 8k more a kill and only took a bit more time. The only thing now is there is way to many spawns of them and not many ppl to keep them clear. I made Master the day after they changed it there and was also solo doing it.
