I have yet to find a decent Striker pistol, so when my group decided to take on one of these, I played pet doctor. Since the CH in the group had a total of 1 mind (horrendous wounds from rancors, and no dancer in the group), she gave me her pet stims, and I stood by the graul and healed it every so often as it fought the nightsister.

I keep looking for a decent striker, but have yet to find one on Starsider. So, if anyone knows where to get one, drop Trini a line.

c-12 frag grenades. Everyone has the cert, they are blast damage, and a good smith can make ones that do over 1k max damage.

We do have the Striker for kinetic, it's true. The pistol is fun to use, too. I like the sound effect. The problem is that you could be hard-pressed to find a weaponsmith that stocks it.

Tangle pistols do NOT suck, only the folks that dont know when or how to use them do that

Actually, in this case, the Tangle does suck. Assuming that the resists or vulnerability to Stun and Kinetic are the same for the Nightsister, the Striker is a much better choice because of the damage output. The most you see on a Tangle is about 108 max dmg, 3.0 spd.without a slice. Strikers can be produced with considerably higher damage and better speed.

My Tangle does 196 damage with a power-up on it and is 2.7 spd. With my speed bonuses it is still pretty fast. I always use my Tangle over a Striker.

You have to use strikers on nightsisters, then have 100% res to all but blast and kinetic, or you could use run like hell

My opinion is you won't solo this thing unless you have smuggler skills (FD anyone?). And if youtthink that's bad...try taking down a Dark Jedi Knight with 90% resists across the board. Either way, as a pistoleer, I would highly suggest grabbing all the different dmg type pistols that you can, and use them in right situations. In this instance, I've found that on my server striker pistols have better dmg rangesand have better range modifiers than the tangle.

Striker = Kinetic

Rep. Blaster = Energy

DX2 = Acid

FWG = Heat

Tangle = Stun

I solo'd a Force Hunter on Dantooine with 25k HAM with my FWG5. That was with no Smuggler, BH, or Commando Skills. Basically just Pistoleer.

That's nice.

Dragoons I have somewhere near 325k HAMs, and resists that make a Peko Albatross look easy. Correct me if I am wrong here. Dragoons are among the hardest 2 leggers in the game, NPC wise.

What the heck are people doing soloing these things?

I agree with the consensus though. A really good Striker and Tangle should be in the arsenal for any Pistoleer. Get some 33% Dmg Pups, and hope for a smokin damage slice, and off you go.

I would rather group with a Doc/TKA though, get myself some buffs, and let the TKA tank while I blast the crap out of the Dragoon.

I've always wondered where the Devs came up with the idea to give NPC's ungodly HAM's like this one but we are all still stuck with almost 1k HAM. 325k is a little excessive.
