Thread: Anyone else having problems killing nightsisters in the last couple days
I too got my tush handed to me by a protector today. Fully buffed and in 80 kin comp armor, using both CoB and intimidate. I'm mbrawler, mpikeman, tk 4304, fencer 1444. By spamming leghit3 I got her to about half action before I had to burstrun away and she got the rest of me.
I'm not saying this is a necessarily a bad thing, maybe its the start of some changes intended to encourage teamplay, but I can't see anyone taking on these guys unbuffed.

Both yesterday and today I have gotten totally owned by spellweavers and protectors.
Both of these I have no problems with in the past but it seems that the armor hole bug is back, Tonight for ex. I got hit for over 1700 pts of damage by a protector using a LVA.
The armor I was wearing was effectiveness sliced 80% kenetic and 79% base. And my current template is Master Pikeman/TKM and I have all the defenses from pistoleer. And I also have +25 to block attachments!!
They've got some new thing where they use the force to throw junk at you.
I'm not kidding. I looked it up in the combat spam.
'A nightsister whatever uses the force to throw many pieces of junk at you'.
It's not choke. It's just junk.
Next time it happens, check your combat spam. I'd bet this is what it is.

hmmm well i had a protector at about 1/3 ham when my buffs dropped away lol, the timing was spot on as usual.. unbuffed my stats to Health/action are 400 so any major hit and i was doomed, just kept her intimidated for the last part, and just kept firing the stims into me, sort of sat back and let the dots do the work really, as unbuffed in full compo 1 special would have killed me anyway haha
But yes it is doable, but not recomended

Get Medic 0040 and u will be fine...Killed some lesser ns like weavers, rangers, stalker, protectors and sentinals along with 2 elders today....wearing 80 kin/en and 85 base wook hunt armor and being fully buffed(doc/musican/dancer), poping 2 brandies, 2 ashira and 1 synthisteak....doing mediation and have muon and pixiefor emergency case...i needed both while fighting the 2nd elder witch had ascythe equiped...
the ability to use enhanced stims "e" safed my a$$ after get choked and have a bleed ticking for +400....i love warcry2 and mediation...works better for me than first aid to cure bleeds....
If they went for the legs, shouldnt that cost me action? It was my health they were really ripping apart. I'm not wearing biceps, maybe I should try those on.

yeah I always wear the pants the only parts I dont always waer are the biceps and shoulder pieces. From what I have heard these pieces have no effect since there are no attacks that go for your arms.
However I may have heard wrong.
