How about if we have a few (or many) mini smobs that is just one mob that loads medium equipment for everyone, dodge, abs, combo, whatever, with several different medium weapons, but the hard part is, these smobs will travel all over the world so you have to search them out in order to kill them. But if you do find them, you'll be able to kill them solo, it might just take a while, or a certain tactic, or something.
This way we can re equip solo, but we'll just have to look for it instead of getting a group for it. And when I say these mobs travel all over, I mean like all over. have them port into searchable rooms, or whatever.
Maybe we could have them themed too, like a band of renegade marath'damane who port all over the place and have different loads.
