Thread: What type of NS can i solo
However, as a fencer/swordsman, you could pretty much tank and solo an elder. I did so last night with fencer/swordsman/master brawler. They key is to hit the mind with a hammer (they are fairly weak against blast damage) and hit it with DoT weapons as well. To keep the damage down, you need to continuously intimidate her and keep you CoB macro running.
She'll be toast in no time.
To the original Poster, Night Sister Protectors are the toughest you can Solo, they have 15% Kinetic resistance but have Medium armour so our damage output to them is low. They have 50-60k HAM and Will NEVER MISS....Good thing is they are no longer doing TK. You will need a decent Gaffi or VB, Buffs, Brandy, Synth steak will help too, wouldn't bother running CoB if only faced with a Protector, it won't help but do keep them intimidated. I have managed to KD Protectors before but I have never stuck Dizzy or Blind states on them.
Right, to the....I know how to play my profession -Solo'ing NS protectors is not difficult, any Master Fencer with Buffs and 70%+ Kinetic armour can do it, as long you don't try to use a stun baton. What we can't do is Solo Elders which, incidently, is the next Night Sister Rank up from Protector. All others, Spell Weavers, Sentinels, Stalkers, Rangers, Outcasts, Initiates and Sentries are simple, we still don't do fantastic damage against most ofthem but our defenses work fine and so they don't hit us much.
And to the....Ever heard of Stun damage- Think you need to go face some Night Sisters before commenting next time. Only the lowly (and kind of rare)Sentry class is vulnerable to Stun damage...All others have 100% Resistance to it...If you want to see what happens when you hit a Night Sister with a Stun Baton, try destroying the next lair you see with one, it'll have the same effect.
If you want to Solo an Elder only a Swordsman or Pikeman (with an Energy Lance) can do it from the Brawler professions and I would suggest having some Medic skills too, they hit pretty hard.

As just a fencer/doctor, you could probably take rangers, initiates, sentries and outcasts. Beyond that, the higher levels ones have near 100% resists to kinetic.

all but elders, but be warned protectors hit hard and are a pain if theres a few on you.
stalkers are nice, they have 25kish ham, and spawn in 5's. never seen a mix of them either. i had 10 spawn on me the other day ( at that point i was only master fencer ), i downed 1 canape for mind stats, and they were dead within 5 mintues.
NS weak to kinetic....Initiate's, Outcast's, Ranger's, Sentry's, Rancor Tamers,Sentinal's, Stalker's, Spellweaver's, and Protector's
