NS Elders are 100% resist to everything but Kinetic and Blast......the Spiderclan and there is another one I can't remember that have different resists.
If I remember right, there are well over a dozen different NPC witches on Dath with different resists.....and Carbineer can't touch most of them....
But Carbineer/Doc is very nice for the non-FotM folks
Did they change that? The last I remember, NS Elders were 100% to kinetic, with blast and energy at 25%. I haven't been out there much as my alt is now 100% non-combat (used to be a Ranger/Master Swordsman, now he's a Master WS, Master Artisan, working on Master Merchant) and my carbineer is pretty much only used for PvP.
Don't let that 25% to energy fool you. Even with an uber laser, they still have heavy armor and about 350k HAM. Not to mention they hit pretty damn hard and can heal themselves. I don't even want to think of how hard they are now that they have thier specials and force powers back. You will not be able to solo an Elder as a Doc/Carbineer, unless you plan on taking about 2 hours to do so, and that's IF you can keep her from taking down your mind.Who really wants to waste thier time on that?
I'm not too sure about how tough some might be now with thier powers back, but before they got them back, I was able to wipe out mass groups of NS Rangers and any NS lower than Ranger. I could take out stalkers fairly easily too I believe. I think NS Spell Weavers are not 100% to energy either. I used to kill them a lot, but I'm not sure if that was with a carbine or if it was when I had TK.
On my mission from the village the other day I ran into a Singing Mountain ClanDragoon. It had been a while since I had seen on of those, and remembered them to be fairly tough. I decided to try out my new Krayt EE3 on her, as I noticed she was vulnerable to heat. I took her out in about 10 seconds flat. She tried to use a force KD on me, which failed 3 times. Other than that, she never touched me.
There's plenty of stuff on Dath that we carbineers can whoop on. You just have to find the right targets.

Maybe I am thinking of another type of NS.....I tend to ignore them ALL 
But I do know that the different types and clans vary a lot.....
Soe in it's infinite wisdom made it so jedi characters have to depend on mains for items needed... soo ... here goes..
at first i was fotm .. doc/sword.. then doc/rifle .. . being bored with fotm garbage and tring to get ahead of the combat changes i decided on carbineer (i hear combat revamp will make it worth while...) but meanwhile ... i have to keep doc. . as i do not have a guild or lots of friends whom play i need doc to self buff at odd offpeak hours and my jedi .. so that leaves me 1 mastery..
well the crux ... How does a solo doc/carbineer master really stand up vs nightsisters (elders i know are no way to kill due to 100% resists to all our weapons
*ugh* soo .. how bout kyrat's .. or any ohter high end creature that drops crystals for jedi?or am i just screwed and should go back to being a swordsman and soloing kryats again?

elders only have 25% energy, but seriously there's no point in trying to kill them as carbineer... It takes far, far too long. Your better off killing rangers and outcasts etc..They give almost just as good stuff and take a 50th of the time to kill
There is a point to killing them as Carbineer
"I can solo NS Elders with Carbineer"
