I need someone to inform me of where i am going wrong.
I am a master pikemanwearing 80% kenitic armor through out. My Long vibro axe has no effect on nightsisters at all or rancors for that matter. When i examine both of these creaturesI find that they have 100 % protection from stun, kenitc and others. Please give me some advice as to howI can do some damage to these creatures. oh and by the way if you feel that a nightsister is not a creature so what.

The only nightsister with a 100% resist to kinetic is an elder, Axkva Min, and possibly some spiderclan members, though nearly all nightsisters have a 100% resist to electricity.
The only thing you can do vs a mob with 100% resists to all your damage types is to use DoTs or bleeds until you've taken away at least half of its HAM. At that point the other resists will usually start to drop, eventually reaching as low as 50%. This works on the very high-level like elders, but I don't think resists ever drop on lower level nightsisters.
There's simply no other way to damage something with 100% resists to your damage type, you could beat on it all day and never scratch it.

You can take down rancors with a LVA. I do it all the time. As for nightsisters, if they have 100% resist to kin and electric you are out of luck unless you have a NSEL. You will need a secondary combat skill to take those on. So far the only one I have run into that I can not kill is an elder. All the rest are able to be killed with our weapons.
