I have a decent DXR6 and hit Nyax over 3000 on average. So if this rifleman has a good... not even exceptional rifle 4k is not out of the realm of possibility.

I know it might not have helped in this situation but loot rights are based on who did the most totaldamage, Killing off the mind pool isn't going to get you loot rights. You need to use dervish2 or something, It may take a little longer to kill stuff than if you focused on a single pool but you will be damaging all 3 pools at once. hense, a higher overall damage done.
I see rifleman make this mistake all the time, they think that just because they can kill stuff faster with a headshot3, they don't realize they will lose loot rights, Headshot3 is like a x3 damage mod and strafe2 is x5 I think. If you are speed capped, strafe2 is going to do way more total damage than headshot3, increasing your chance of getting loot rights

Well, I stated that I also tried wrath of kun on 2 of the attempts. This is the double bladed master LS cone attack, the strongest random ham attack we have. And I also said that it's understandable to hit for over 4k, but it was the consistency of his attacks that I'm questioning. Read my statement above and see if you have any ideas.

the key is to target him first and get the first attack in, try an auto targetting macro... sorry but im no help on the rifle damage question

I understand it's possible to hit for that much with an exceptional weapon. What I'm wondering isif it's supposed to be 100% consistent? Every single shot over 3 Nyax spawns was 4200-4400. No matter what the damage on a weapon is, there is still a range on it. For example, a weapon that is 500-1600 damage, isn't always going to be hitting for the 1600 max damage stat. It didn't seem like there was any variation in the damage output this guy was doing that was comparable to any weapons I've seen or used. Usually, the damage range on a weapon is much more than 200 damage. Sometimes you'll hit for 800 and sometimes you'll hit for 2-3k depending on the range between min/max damage. The weapon would have had to been like 1400-1600 damage(not exact stats but you know what I'm getting at). In other words, almost no gap between min and max damage.

If nyax is classed as a uber npc non-jedi cant dizzy him, you should try sticking a dizzy on him or just group with a rifleman of your own. And Sony dont recognise the action of kill stealing for loot or xp...

Jedi, not Jedi's ![]()
I have a 720 Dam (pupped) T-21, standard T-21 with a great slice. 4.5k damage per shot is easy enough. That being said, a DXR-6b is far more effective against Nyax.
The comments on total damage done as opposed to one bar shots are also correct.

Yep... speed capped rifleman with DXR6 > Jedi Knight when it comes to Nyax... all day long.
Now... having a wife with a 976 max damage de-10... with BH speed cap... and Smugglers Last Ditch... > speed capped rifleman with DXR6.

Nyax has a nasty habit of strafeshot2. I've been hit for 4000 with it... only thing that saved me was synthsteak.
As for tanking.. he can take down a rifleman pretty quick.. but it's doable if you have the accuracy at the close range.
Your best bet for sure is a tank.

if you can tell me what nyax's armor rating is and what his energy resist is, I can easily show you how much damage a T21 is going to do per second
