I've read of some people using Rikti. Don't know which one though.

The Rikti Boss method involved using the Chief with the rounded shoulder pads, IIRC. Aggro one, heal in front of him, and his melee attacks (which he used exclusively when in range) would do insane damage to you, but the one-HP rule would keep you alive.|

It's been a few years since I've done this; not sure if it's still viable, they may have mixed up the attack chain to prevent this. If it's still workable though, have an anti-knockback IO in place to make it easier; otherwise he might knock you away and start using ranged attacks as well.
Anyone know if the Noble Brute method (same mechanic) is still functional? Doesn't hit quite as hard, but it was easy to get a mission for it.

You are correct, and yes they changed the AI a while back and those foes now kill you with a second attack.|

As for the Brute.. I hear it's still a good option, but I have not personally tried it.
I used a +...3? I believe? Carnie Iron Strongman on my Tanker. It should be possible to use one at lower levels for lower-HP ATs.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I usually use a thorn guide(52-53) however recently they have started crossbowing in melee. Does anyone know of any alternatives that doesn't involve a alt account and is suitable for squishies?
