So, just to clarify: Nightsisters and Singing Mountain Clan hate each other (a given), but do they both hate Spider Clan, or is it just SMC that hates the Spider gals? (It's been so long since I've killed a NS, I forget.) I do remember that you can lose Spide Clan faction by killing spiders on Dathomir, but I don't remember whether you gain NS or SMC faction for it.
I need an NPC faction guide book.

Well, i leveled by jedi on dath for mroe than 90% of it's life. Prepatch9 jedi here. What i found is that NS and SMC hate eachother. However NS or SMC hate spider clan as well..... i can't remember now. Either way, just kill a spider clan npc and see what faction you gain. You'll lose spider clan faction, that's a given but you should also gain either NS or SMC faction.
So if you gain NS faction from killing spider clan........... Start by killing NS to gain SMC... then to get your NS back up kill the spider clan.
If you gain SMC from the spider clan......... Start by killing SMC to gain NS, then kill the spider clan to get your SMC back up....
Either way, it should work out.... atleast the last time i checked. Those seem to be the only strong NPCs in the whole game, besides tha djk, djm..... bu they are so rare.
I took on a MBH/Mcarbs cm 4000, and i was supprised how hard he hit me. His carbine fired as fast as a pistol and more damage than any rifle I've seen.
I did manage to beat him when he went LD but if i were to come up against him again, any suggestions of dealing with him (or anyone who might have a gun or temp like his)?
If you can't get a lightsaber by killing a Jedi, take your Jedi friend's lightsaberThere were probably way more posts on here than I was willing to read. Im a little sad that the advantages I had over other Jedi in using these tactics will most likely be gone because many others will have them now 
But Im not mad. Just hope that this will not make the bh's better too nor cause the jedi to be nerfed any further.
But since were helping out, I may as well add some to it.
97% of what suggested is what I use. Some of my smaller points wille be these.
I dont use the vagnarian canape. With the way force as well as mind is mixed into our heals, I like to have my mind buffed. Being Im at work, I am not sure as to why I don't use canape (can't remember the stats) but my food of choice is mandalorian wine.
In fact, I pretty much use wine, pie, vegasparine, blob candy (because action makes the difference), booster blue. Those are the ones I remember as we speak. oh yeah crispic. As a mls, def 4440, enh 3002 and healer 4000, my accuracy goes up like over 300 and my def is close to 300 also. I am also a combat prowess master and 0440 enh ref. So I get some extra ranged and melee defense from my fs trees.
Looping aura and the heals (forceheal and infusion) is good. But a lesson I learned very early in my pvp'ing. DO NOT START YOUR MACROS UNTUIL YOU ARE HIT! As a former bh, if your macros are running before I attack you, I will give you some time (judgement) in order to let your force run down.
when a bh first attacks, most of them make the error of trying to knock you down. good thing about jedi is that you can heal on your back. You do not need to really start the healing macro until you get down to about 65% health. so i would not recommend starting your healing macro as soon as your hit. Those extra couple of seconds may make a big difference. from first shot, you should be eating and popping spices. EVEN BEFORE YOU TARGET YOUR ATTACKER!. This adds precious more seconds to your fight ability. If you are knocked down, start the healing very soon. you will take extra damage and may be paralyzed.
/follow is the mother of all commands. If you have fr2 like I do, YOUR BH WILL NOT GET OUT OF RANGE WITHOUT A ROOT. And guess what. I have a root too. As well as a saberthrow knockdown. AND HE OR SHE CANNOT HEAL WHEN KNOCKED DOWN.
speaking of kd's. time them well and dont waste them. Biggest advantage of jedi over bh's? when they hit the ground, it's clobbering time. leg hit/head hit/body hit oh yeah POWER HIT.
use line of sight. nuff said.
watch for his downer. he will most likely be popping his spice shortly before (or after this post shortly after. lol) Time it. 10 seconds before the downer. DAMAGE GALORE BABY. If he gets to the point where his heals are not getting him back to 100%, it's over for him.
If you are not mls, then you don't have the ranged knockdown. but hopefully you have another offensive power that will help you out.
