Thread: Yet another gripe about the profession...
striker pistol made with premium and loot components with a damage slice and some power up would serve you quite well. That is the weapon you are looking for.

I know exactly how you feel, I was taken along by a pikeman friend of mine to beat the NS Elder until her resists dropped. I posted the story here a while back, think the thread was called "pistols?" it was supposed to called "pistols? why bother?" but something went wrong in the post. Basically it took me hald an hour to drop her resist while she was tanked up by the defence stacked pikeman and a TKM/MD who kept thepikeman and herself alive. Half an it took with speed capped stoppingshots and at about 40% total ham remaining the Elder's resists dropped by 1.5% allowing the pikeman and TKM to damage her, the TKM was about equalling my damage while the pikeman by far overtook. The Elder had 98.5% kinetic resists and only 23.5% resists to my republic blaster.
That's my long story cut short and about to be cut shorter, pistoleers at the moment shouldn't hunt nightsisters.

Stick to killing quenkers and trying to sell the meat to the last of the grinders who haven't unlocked yet, maybe then you could buy some NS loot...
