Thread: Did they fix a few things? Or completely cut down NS's?

Last night I was doing my nightly NS hunt to look for lances. (Got a decent action fire lance with strenght 187 potency 65%). Anywho. First I want to say, Dathomir is PACKED!!!! I normally see about 1 or 2 people in the science outpost. Last night there was at least 50. On Naritus, the lowest populated server, that's tons.


While hunting I noticed a few things;

1) Polearm Hit 3 actually knocked the NS down to their knees, a lot more than before. Including protectors, sentinals, spell weavers. Havent tried an Elder cause I deal out 0 damage to them.


2) I cant remember the name of area dizzy and KD, but they were much more effective than before the patch.


3)On the other sideLunge 2 didnt knock a single one of them down. Leg hit also seemed to be much faster.


I have been using the same crafted Vibro Axe from my pikeman grind, so the weapon didnt change. Now either they completely screwed up the nightsisters and their defensesor they changed a few things on the effectiveness of these specials.

Yep. you might also have noticed that they no longer use specials either. Just auto-attack. And the spell weavers dont heal themselves, etc...

Oh yeah, I noticed that, but from what I saw, they either fixed our moves, or completely borked NS defenses. Protectors are cake now. I was able to tank 3 protectors, 2 sentinals, and a spell weaver without even having to heal myself.


I filled the combat queue with area attacks and went and made myself a sandwich.

I went witch hunting last night and didn't notice any difference in their defenses. I still had a hard time getting any states on spell weavers or protectors. But the auto-attack is nice. I could tank 5 rangers pretty easily. You must have nicer armor than me though, because it was much more difficult when I just had a spell weaver and sentinel on me, they still hit fairly hard even on auto attack, and it takes awhile to kill them.

He probably had 89-90% composite (is that possible? I dont know because I'm a wookiee) what kind of armor did you have on?

With standard 80% comp I was tanking 2 protectors, 2 spell weavers, and a sentinal last night. I was actually takingmoderate damage with this armor, nothing one stim Ecouldnt takecare of though. I can also kill them reasonably fast though, with my +19 speed attachment (man that is the greatest thing ever!) Rippin Area attack 2 at the speed cap it doesnt take long to take down the weakened sisters.


Also I finally got a nice mind poison lance. Stregth only like 183 but potency 93%!

Nice. I need to get me some better armor I think. Is it kinetic layered armor that you can get in the 80%? I think my armor is only in the 70%'s after a slice.

I usually use a 73% - 74% set of Ubese myself and with buffs and brandy I can tank rather well. If I could migrate my mind secondaries higher I would be in even better shape, but us non-humans/MonCals are kinda shafted mind stat wise.

Yes...80% kinetic, 63% base and my entire suit is encumberance sliced exept for 2 pieces I think. 80% kinetic comp is very common on my server, and I use it as my standard grind pve armor.

yep, we're on the same server I believe


I'll get my guilds armorsmith to give me a set of the kinetic layered stuff. I was just using regular advanced composite, which I think only had like 60% kinetic.

Yeah we are on the same server. Unfortunatly for me I dont have the convience of a guild, so my armor is pretty pricey, but worth it!

Yeah Regnor, I was noticing the same thing. No armor hole = easier to kill NS, but it was a little too easy.


Not complaining though, I looted a 246 mind fire pike with, put down your coffee, 64% potency and -1 uses.


My collection is almost complete...muhahhahaha.
