Hi, I'm fencer 1333, and yesteray, I took some buddies with me, got 9 stats buffed, got my best pets and said:
"cmon guyz, let's go to NS caves and get some loots !"
k shuttle to dath, swoops to the caves, pets out... we're in.
like 6 minutes later, we're all back to the clone center, we all got "owned" by 3 NS (us and pets CL50ish), in NO TIME.

so here's my question (I guess you know what it is already, right?):
how the hell could I go there and kill some NS ? do I have to be blademaster/master brawler to have a single chance against NS ? or am I doing something wrong ?

I keep hearing about people soloing NS caves, but how ?

master brawler makes all the difference with warcry2/int2. You shouldn't be expecting to defeat the hardest mobs in the game at your current skill level imho. They use force powers for f-sake.

Unfortunately for that concept, in the upcoming patch bleeds will no longer stack. So, while your technique will still work, it just won't work as well as it does now.

Force npc's arnt to bad, the 10-12k ham ones, alone.



Above that, it can be very difficult, without using a few tricks.



One is commando "On Fire"


Two is Bleeding then Feign Death'n.


You can get 2 bleed attacks with fencing, 2 with pistolierre, one from commando, thats alot of dots. Throw all of those down in 4 seconds, Feign death, let them tick down, get up and do it again.

I didnt have a difficult time at all soloing 2 NS rangers at once and all i had was the 2 fencer bleeds. im not even a master brawler.

Hi,


I owned a nightsister ranger today. Good olde usual. (CoB, Blind, (Dizzy,) Bleed1, Bleed2, Melee3, ..., Bodyhit3)


I forgot to intimidate, but she could never hit me. ... Once with 150 out of 454 (composite armor). If she did not use the Force Lightning, I could easily have taken her down. Force Lightning did 868 damage. I don't know if it go right through my electrocity resistances, but if I didn't have a buff, I would be dead. Fortunately, I was well buffed for the occassion. So I persuaded the nightsister nicelythat she should go to the Nether realm.


For the trouble, she gave me 500 credits.

Was this before or after they got the force powers working? A few months ago they were alot easier than they are now.


To the original poster, work on the first line, melee/ranged defense is a huge boost to you. Without all the + defense modifiers, you will be hit. Getting hit is bad. While I was a fencer for a bit, I was missed more than I dodged. In other words, the melee/range defense is better than +dodge.

Rereading that last post, Gaabreal, I didn't mean it to sound so confrontational. Just wondering if it was after the changes to them. I fought a few nightsisters, their damage never bothered me, but if I got 2 of them together, their force powers would tear me up.


Also, a tip to the first poster, take them 1 at a time. Use a ranged weapon and try to bleed one. Normally, if none of them see you when you use the bleed, they won't attack until the bleed does damage. At this point, you stand 70m away and only the one bleeding comes after you. If they see you make the shot, well, they all will come.
