What's the best pistol for killing Elders? I've noticed that FWG5s do very little damage. I believe they are vulnerable to energy damage. What pistols do that? Scout blaster or republics? Can anyone suggest anything else? Isn't there a pistol that does kinetic? SR combat maybe? Any input is greatly appreciated.

What about just killing them with friends? What gun is the least ineffective?

You mean most effective. Republic or any energy damage pistol with high damage, striker pistols do kinetic.
Cool thanks. I got some decent republics.

DE-10 is your best weapon, followed by the Rep Blaster, then finally the Launcher Pistol. Elders Have 100% to everything but Blast and Energy (and of course Light Sabre). If you are thinking of soloing one, VERY BAD IDEA. You would save yourself a lot of time by going and finding a crapy heavy axe on the bazar and grinding to master swords. If you are doing them with friends, ya, an energy pistol will work. Just understand that you will not be helping much, as the take-down team will probably be doing mind. You would be there for the ride and to get your dirty fingers on some of the loot

I never really planned on soloing them, just don't want to be useless when I go with friends. I had fun the few times I went with people, but didn't know what to use. What about lesser NS? Could I solo them with a republic with a max of 350 or so? I'm just looking for excitement. I don't play a whole lot, but I'm kind of getting bored with the mid level mobs.

ive personally soloed quite a few NS Protectors. And ive also died to them quite often as well. ive found that you have to have a launche rpistol to be able to do it. Anythign else just wont cut it. Also i used last ditch and it takes about 5 minutes to kill one. Thats full buff pretty good comp, mind/music buffs and brandy and pixie. So if your fully buffed i always take a pixie, 2 brandys and a canape. i leave the other 66 stomach for an emergency in which i use a vercupti. Just ay attention on shot at a time lay bleeds over and over and if you get in with like an iniate and protector you can decide to leave or stay but if its a protector and more than 1 other NS run your ass away

Nightsister Rangers are nice and easy, they tend to spawn in 2's and 3' andyou shouldn't have a problem solo'ing that many. You get the odd crystal off them.
I use a modified Rep Blaster on them.........

I soloed two protectors at the same timelast night. I have BH pistols so my key to success was to keep 'em bleeding and burning. Hit em with a combo of /torshshot; /bleedingshot; /healthshot1; and /healthshot2; do it with a health poison geo if you have one. While they are bleeding and burning, spam /stoppingshot with a nice striker pistol or de-10 until the fire goes out and then hit em with your macro again.
For all my trouble I got an imperial transmission disk and 1000 credits...I won't even waste my time on NS any more.
