What exactly are you wanting to know? Obvious answers: armor, buffs, food and pick which ones you try to solo.

Ok now that I've got that out. I just spam PH3. No big trick. They seem to resist the kd far too much so I don't even bother with it.


If there is more than one ... pray harder. For more then one I spam spin attack 2 and throw in an area sweep now and again to see if I can catch them napping.

That's the info I wanted

So really, us pikeman don't have much luck against them? LOL

Has anyone tried them out since the patch?? I went up against a nightsister ranger - are those the toughest? Do they drop good stuff?

I wanna start getting into hunting some loot mobs =)

Hehe...no, Rangers are not the toughest. Most low to mid level nightsisters we can take out with buffs and armor because they have low kinetic resists (5-25%). The tough ones are the elders and Axkva herself. They have heavy armor and 100% kinetic and electricity resists. All told, it would be easier if the force powers didn't do so much damage and weren't some type of damage other than kinetic (restraint, I believe). You can be tanking one fine until you're hit by a force choke that drops your 3k buffed stats to near zero.

Do they always use the force powers?? Or was I just unlucky my first time out??

Is there any defenses vs restraint?? ie. Shield Generators? Pink Hot Pants??

First off, I take those nightsissie force powers and stick them straight up their a...... ummm. Anyway, I rarely, if ever get hit with the force powers. When I do, they don't seem to do much damage to me.


Second, go grab a PSG. I have one that has 27% restraint resist. Not much but perhaps enough to do the job.

You betcha. Fought 2 dragoons, 2 rangers and 3 other ones that I can't remember the name of theother night. I believe they tried that force junk about 15 times. I might have been hit twice I think and neither one amounted to much.


Maybe its just me. Dunno.
