1) Kill an Elder..if so w/ what weapon?
2) Do well in PvP without super uber DoT's?

1) not really. DOTs, bleeds, and a Night Sister Energy Lance would be your only hope


2) not really. With a nice looted LVA you can do well against jedi and people with no melee mitigation, but against any melee person you'd probably loose. We do have good pvp specials though...ie. Area2 (stun/dizzy), Sweep2 (area kd) so those always help.

yes - energy lance

yes - keep 'em KD and dizzy, we don't have any defenses so keeping them on their back with one of several ways to get them down is our only way to win.

have you seriously killed a NS elder with using just an energy lance? How long did it take you?



It is impractical...because for one thing most people who finally get a lance dont want to scratch it let alone actually fight with it!

Yeah, the one and only elder I would ever solo, went in there fresh and took some vegeparsine, kept it intimidated and just spammed hit3 because I didn't have any health DoT's on me and leghit3 is too weak IMO. Took probably 20-30 minutes or so. My NSEL was like 340-ish damage (not sure) but now its sliced at 492 without a PuP and if I had some health DoT's on me I'd probably do it again just because its the only "challenging" thing to do in this game for me.

As for scratching the lance, I've got 5 of them, had 6 a month ago and practically gave away my old one because it got a speed slice

20-40 minutes to kill an AR3 elder using a 340 AP1 EL? That seems like lightning.

She had a lot lower health than the rest of her bars, but it was a month or 2 ago so I may have been off on my time. As long as you keep them intimidated and have armor you're willing to waste and have good mind regen you're golden.
