Heyas.
Haven't been to Dath to check out the new uber NS, but I did make it to Dantooine to try the locals out, and was wondering if anyone else was taking MASSIVE mind damage from Janta/Mokks equipped with polearms... I remember them having skills back in the day, but they were CERTAINLY not doing that damage to my mind with their pikes...
Just wondering.

I played with the NS last night. They're mind whores with the force powers. There's this interesting power they use which lowers your max stats instead of damages to. I'm not sure what that's all about but it freaked me out when I first noticed it.
Oh, and sentinals and up are nasty in groups... don't try to solo a group of those anymore... had some jackass run into the forced labor camp cave while I was there andtry to solo 6 of them before running like a jedi... needless to say, I pulled aggro as they came back... stupid **edit**ers need to think before trying to steal spawns now.

hehe, me and 2 friends went to Dath last night and I should have wore my depends undergarments...
As soon as I hear "ELDER!" on TS, an elder with protector sentinel and spellweaver load to my right, so I run to left and heheheh there was the elder I was warned about...so after about 4 seconds of really kool Choke graphics, and the arcing purple force move, I was dead watching my friends get zapped. Best death I ever had
The Mokks/Janta are trained in the force but I couldnt find anything in the combat log that explained the mind dmg /shrug

My favorite new Nightsister attack is the 3 pool bleed they can lay on you if using a melee weapon. Oh, and Cascade of Hatred from Elders hurts like hell too.

NS arnt that much harder as long as you leave your armor on 
Elders arnt to bad if you have help
Just dont try killing the dark jedi masters on dant now (kill you in a couple of whacks and they have 1k+ bleeds to all 3 pools), its quite amusing watching them kill 60 people at the mining outpost

The nightsisters also appear to be using lightsaber specials with normal melee weapons now, which I don't believe they used to do. I also don't remember them bleeding me nearly that much.
Personally I find them easier than I did before they were broken, but I had to fight them without armor back then

The new mokks/jantas etc are definatley alot more difficult, i find i have to take two brandies plus a canape... before i just needed the brandies.
As for the NS' i havent ever fought them... i am planning to in afew days, however, to get a nice lance loot.

Haven't seen that yet...but I'm gonna
Sanguine Strike looked really kool but didn't pay attention to what dmg it did, as "You are choking" "You are choking" "You are choking" "You start to bleed" "Your bleeding has increased" "Your bleeding has increased" caught my attention heheheh

I remember when ns's were uber and we ( a group of like 30 ppl) got Merced like no other trying to clear the cave. (when they had force powers) It was really fun and hard , like it should be I hope to see less soloing on these guys and more group fun 
but they need to keep these mokk down, for us non-crafters and docs we need a way to make money too
