T21s and Flame throwers, if you are very clever, and carefull, you can get her in a cross fire, and take her out without loosing people. (no not an exploit
) basicly people have to charge her, take agro, then peace out and run away, while some one else draws agro. its tricky, and if you loose to many people (less than 4-5 is bad) your all gona die ![]()
have fun
i've tanked the bish with my pikeman/swordsman toon. but that was before they nerfed warcry2. not sure if i could do it now. she has a bad habit of whiping out her "cascade of hatred" on us, hitting everyone for 10k damage. unless you have a couple of combat medics hanging waaaaay back, huffing area stims at you, i don't think she can be taken now. her normal attacks are fine. just get some nice composite armor. but the force powers are the things that hurt.
also, there are ways for riflemen to tank her solo, but it involves getting her stuck, and really, that's an exploit in my opinion. i prefer the straight up "get in her face and beat the crap out of her" method.

The irony of some mobs is mind numbing. To kill the mob that actually gives you the energy lance you have to use an energy lance. Want a bet we'll get a new pike and we'll need to kill a mob that's immune to Kinetic, Energy and Electricity but low on Blast which will be the damage type of the new pike? Seriously now the guy that designs mob resistances must be a sadist.
More on topic, I've strangely been able to take out Elders with only a Master Heavy Swordsman/Doctor as company, granted she knows her stuff and knows it well. Now with the stuck Nightsisters its not even fun, before we'd die a couple of times from the Elder throwing an ultimate Force Power on us. I would think a couple of Commandos letting loose with missiles and a couple Riflemen HeadShooting with the T21 would have a field day with her.
It hurts to have found a WS with the schematic and struggling to find some motors but I'll get there eventually, maybe its on purpose to go after the Combat Pass when the NSEL will be uber (yeah sure).
I guess I'll have to ask another Piker for her NSEL to fight Axkva easier ![]()
