acklay hammers are NOT needed for soloing krayts! Until a few days ago i was poor as dirt, and was using 75k 170-590 hammers. it takes a bit longer, but you CAN solo them!

when the begin to run off use /taunt worrks a treat
I got my first solo canyon kill on Tig the other day, took around 30 minutes (not capped using a 200-450 3.0 PH) and I had to heal only once. To me that's a bit fecked up, can't wait for the CURB.
I was running an macro
/intimidate2;
/meleeHeadHit3; x 10
I too use to have a fancy sig, then it got pwned - Kenney Ender
Actually, when they turn to run - you should queue about THREE /taunts. They don't work all the time, and you don't want to waste those few seconds if it fails to give the thing time to warp away.
Also, you don't need Stim-Ds. Just watch your health and predict when a good time to fit in a heal is - Stim-Ds just give you some more flexibility. Truth be told you could do it with novice medic.
Never, EVER, unless it's in the last 20% of the Krayt's mind bar, spam the combat macro with attacks - put about six-eight in at a time, but always make it so that wayward /intim1&2, /taunt, or even /warcry has a home that you can see - you don't want to interrupt yourself to hit "clear" - it delays your DPS and, in my case, messes up my rhythm.
NOTE: doing the 6-8 multitouch is also far more macro-friendly - you want the queue to be empty enough to register the keystroke of the macro...if you're flooding the queue like a wild man, it's going to screw your timing up.
Repeat the 6-8 it every time you see the queue hit three attacks left. It'll allow you to keep better tabs on your intims. I don't know if they make them, but if they do, get a stopwatch that'll consistently time 120 seconds (the run time of intim2, if I'm not mistaken) and reset automatically at every alarm.
Failing that, just get a stopwatch, start it at the first successful intim land, and time it yourself.
If your intimidate fails, stick 2-4 headhit3s in between before trying again. If the second attempt fails, stick one or two in there, if the third attempt fails, hit it 2-3 times to make SURE it sticks at least once.

I've heard rumours that CoB increases your state defs slightly, but I dunno if it does.. I run a CoB macro anyway, it doesn't have any impact on your mind if you're fully buffed/fed up with mind foods
Great guide, but I have to disagree with the medic reqs. Instead of wasting points to get the med use for stim-d's, I'd suggest taking First Aid II to get the bonus to heal (Plus the ability to use first aid and stop bleeds, which rocks for NS) and getting either a BE Medic shirt or pair of pants to help the injury healing bonus.

You can also get some janta enhanced stim b's that are around 700power, but im still a sucker for stim E's nothing like healing for almost 2k of damage

I mean.. I've spent hours cruising all ver tatooine, obviously you find them most often around the graveyard - but I haven't had any luck there at all in recent times - I've tried near the jawa crawler, near jabba's .. near the giant skeleton..
am I just having bad luck? or is there a better place to look ?
have not seen any increase in their population since the supposed boom. I have seen tissues popping up like mad on the trade forums, but that doesn't help me
I'm not one of the players that is content to run around for hours searching for them either.. If I don't find one within an hour, my dedication starts to fade, if none within 2 hrs, I'm outta there..
so .. do I just have the worst luck in the world, or what?
(granted, the last time I was looking was when the 'random spawns' were disappearing (has that been fixed)

they spawn all over me in the graveyard on ahazi... was killing a giant with my rifleman guildmate, i ran after 3 ancients spawned n killed him... i ran into 5 more ancients when running to mos oasis to shuttle out rofl
Well, while i am not speedcapped (yet), i dont use a PH against Krayts (except for juvies). Im way faster with my 2.5 scythe (250-431 damage unpupped) - and any Krayt except for Juvie has THE SAME kinetic (scythe) resistance as blast (power hammer) resistance...why wouldnt i use kinetic (faster) weapon then ? =)
And i do giants AFK. 30 mins.

I tried soloing a Giant Canyon Krayt last night and won. It only took 1.45 hours, 9 stacks of 40 use stim Bs. I had some 55% dodge food.
When I had him down to half life i checked my armor and my gloves was about to go and my chest plate was soon to follow. I played dead (yes, this toon is a master smuggler also) and the krayt went to play with some wild spawn. Got up, peaced and repaired the gloves (it did not fail ) I did not have another armor repair kit on my but I did have another chestplate. Pulled out some more stims and went back to the killing.
At some point my BF was high and my stims were no longer doing a good job. Towards the end I popped a pixie and before the downer I killed the dragon.
for all my troubles I only got 3 poor tissues.
Over all it was fun to do and win but I dont think I will ever do that again.
My power hammer was max damage 750 something.
