Takes me under 9 minutes. I hit it with bleed then peace, run 100m clear. Wait for it to agro me - kite using Headshot 3. Make wp of spawn so you can go back and repeat.

Hmm interesting, and if you get knocked down w/dizzy? Riflemen have absolutely horrible melee defense. You'd be dead in a few hits pending you couldn't heal yourself. The AP3 of the T21 is extremeley nice, grab a MSwords buddy and won't take you that long.

I soloed one as a speedcapped master rifleman/ranger by kiting it at 60m and using headshot3. Tried using conceal but it is fairly slow and I got bored. As long as you have decent terrain negotiation and keep it at a distance it is ok, although hairy at times. Every few minutes it tends to charge in close to attack, but you can get away from it quickly enough.

I can solo a NS elder the cheap which is kinda dissapointing but then again I am speedcapped rifles so maybe it helps a little. I have to be really lucky as to where the elder is and if the swg gods are on my side. Last couple of times i've tried I failed cause my stupid conceal shot can't hide me worth $#!t.

Only Swordsman and Pikeman can solo an elder from the brawler->elite trees (from beginning that is)
Iv tried a few times to solo one (profs are below) guess I just not done it right yet heh.

Yeah, I soloed one when I was down to about 25 minutes on my buffs. Kinda just wanted to see if I could do it.
Master swordsman/master doc with +5 in speed tapes. I used a hammer damage-sliced to 628 max.
Really, there isn't much strategy to killing them. ALWAYS keep them intimidated, always use bleeds/poison/fire/disease if you have them, and immediately heal the bleeds they drop on you. If you have doc skills and brawler skills, it's worthwhile to warcry them when you want to cure a boatload of states.
Oh, and another thing -- if it equips a stun baton when it gets to melee, RUN LIKE HELL.

Its easy if you are a swordsman capped with a 6.0 hammer.
Master Swords
Master Brawler
Combat Prowess 0004
Medic 2000
Acklay Hammer 6.0 242-648
80 kin/80 elec/80 energy/68 base comp
+6 2hand speed in a shirt
Intimidate 2, mindhit 2, mindhit 1, head hit 3. I do that until I get a bleed. Heal the bleed, intimidate when necessary.
Soloing 2 elders
Killing the second one
I kill them till I get around 700 bf. My stim b's only heal for around 500 health/action a pop, but with 700 bf, I'm lucky to get 200 health/action healed.

Squad leader with buffs and a retreat macro and a rifleman = dead elder in 8 minutes

that doesnt sound solo =P
IMHO, elders were soloable (melee wise) at one point, but no longer. Their opening combo of force-power related attacks usually decimates you (bleeds are nasty and the ham dot is a lot worse and they all stack on successive hits). you might be able to ride it out if they're using like a wood staff where they melee damage is significantly reduced. med ap wpns still takes chunks outta you in 80% armor.
basically, if you're going in with tanks, you need 2 minimum. one to take the brunt of the force attacks, then switch out and recover while the other melee tanks.

I can fairly easily. I'm a master swordsman, master fencer, master brawler, medic 2-0-4-0, and combat prowess 0-0-2-4.
Equipment:
Standard 80%/70% base composite
Acklay power hammer - 744 max damage.
Stim E's around 1100 power.
I can kill Elder's in about 7-9 minutes, just intimidate, apply bleeds, and headhit 3 away.
