So I am currently a 4333 pikeman (also a master doc) and I am loving it! I've been reading these boards now for a couple weeks trying to figure out where to get one of these 900+ LVA's that I've been hearing about, and from what I gather, the night sisters are the place to go (right??). My question to you is...how do you beat these things as a Pikeman?? (Yes I know the resists on these NPC's has been raised as issue before)
Like i said, I'm also a Master Doc, so that takes most of my skill points right there. When I master pike, I'll basically be tapped for Skill points. With huge resists on Kinetic & Electricity (which I belive are the only 2 types of damage we can inflict other than DOTs), I can't do barely ANY damage to these enemies. I go out there with full buffs (mind and all), and full armor and whack on some of them and after 1/2 an hour of beating on some of I'm just bruised and battered...barely take any damage off of them. I've tried my ~200 mind poison and ~200 mind disease DOT weapons on them, but that doesnt seem to help either. I am currently using a LVA that is about 490 Max damage sliced with 4.1 speed and ~-30 accuracy mods (it's the best I have found for sale), Pup'd I can get it about 520 max damage (with the powerups I have).
So...how do you do it? Would it be worth it to me to get rid of doc (cause I want to keep pikeman) and go up some other combat profession as well, just to do damage to these enemies. If so...what? If possible, I would also like to try to just recruit one of these professions to come with me.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Actually, all the Nightsisters except Elders have fairly low kinetic resists. Blast is of course, better in all respects, but Kinetic is a very low resist on all of them, minus elders.

Umm... I'm just starting the prof (2002 now) and I take down, up to stalkers with no problems. Protectors are a good match at my current level though.
