I posted the date because I know the difficulty of enemies can change quickly overtime. I was hoping somebody could help me figure out a good template for solo'ing nightsister elders. Thanks for your help!

don't really know the template, but i would guess swordmans.... with a good powerhammer (blast dammage)




but enjoy it while you can... bc... with the CU... chances are soloing will be MUCH harder....

Yes, swordsman (speedcapped would help even more ) and a bit of medic (I'm just novice) should do the trick as it does it for me .

master swordsman with at least medic 2/0/0/0

the medic skills will give you the ability to heal bleeds something which you should expect a lot of when dealing with NS.

speedcap swordsman as well its a very big help.

and use a good powerhammer.

Swords can solo Elders and Krayts. So can Riflemen. And yes novice medic is a must.

i suggest you to have a look at the swordsman forum, as one post on 3 is about soloing xxxx critter . you will find very easily all the answer you are looking for.


and to answer your question, yes swordsman is good for krayth, with some tactics and time

master rifles/ doc 3030 /Combat medic 4004


you can either conceal shot these ladies or poison and SS2 them to oblivian. Have to be nimble though and make sure you dont back into a tree while running backwards so you can see them.


Although it seems like an eternity it actually takes me about 11 mins to kill one with conceal shot. They drop some really really good loots as well.

Oh and krayts I do just fine a) if I can find one and b) if I can keep the poachers away.

Stick with killing Nightsisters. Like someone else posted, they only take about 10-15 min to take down, depending on how good your hammer is. Krayts on the other hand have like 70-80% blast resist, and can take 30 minutes or longer. On top of that, the graveyard is a killstealers paradise.

Swordsman can solo anything in this game.....Rifleman can also.....I beleive there's only 1 mob that is 100% to blast and Kinetic but I can't remember what mob it is...OH! I remembern now...it's one of the spider clan on dath....maybe the elder or one of her minions....I just know there's at least one each of the spider clan that each combat profession can do no damgae to.......all the rest are either vulnerable or have low resist to one or the other.


And whomever said it takes a swordsman 10 - 15 minutes to kill a nightsister....uhm! what are you a novice swordsman.....nightsister's should never take longer than 2 minutes as a master swordsman....heck I can kill them in less than 10 minutes as a master fencer....only the elders take longer than 10 minutes....and for a swordsman it should take you at least 30 minutes for that......hell, it doesn't even take me 10 minutes to kill 3 spellweavers and 2 protectors all attacking me at once....for some reason their force powers seem to miss me a lot....**shrug** guess I"m either lucky or I'm just missing something.


Also, fighting kryats is not a waste of time...the pearls and tissues are big money makers, that's why jedi are always broke from buying crystals and pearls for their lightsabers....and as a master swordsman, you should not have to worry about kill stealers....noone can outdamage you especially if your speed capped...well maybe a master rifleman could give you a run for your money....but then it all comes down to who has the better rifle or PH......besides, if your the first one on the krayt even a rifleman coming in late won't outdamage you.


I don't know, maybe it's just me....but since I've been a master swordsman, noone has been able to kill steal or ninja loot....I always get the most credit and I'm looting before the corpse hit's the ground.
