So, there I was running around hunting Ancient Rancor's and casually slaying NightSisters, as they are not friends with my friends the Singing Clan, when I met my third and last NightSister Stalker for the night. She must have heard what I had done with her Stalker sisters and must have been really ticked off, because she disposed me withintwo seconds

I had just replenished my mind attributes with two Ahrisa and two Vasarian but that was not enough.... I saw my mind slurp away as if it was a tiny drop of water in the sahara desert...

As the encounter was so quick I didn't see of she was wielding a stun baton or not... but she shocked me with blue thunder Needless to say how did she do it, any ideas?

I think you met a NS Elder.... Those kind are force sensitive (using the darkforce, hence the blue thunder and have high resistances on many attributes.

Ooooo no, I can tell the difference between a Stalker (looks like an NS Ranger) and an Elder (looks very Matriarchish, with a robe, a goofy hatand "longish feathers"sticking out from her back)... I get an aggro Elder, and I am not the one sticking around toexchange recipies

Did they trick me by sendingan Elder disguised as a Stalker? (Sneaky Sisters )

Did you keep her intimidated with yer scary rangerness? A non intimidated NS with a Stun Baton (insert another name for a B.O.B here.....) can do a good amount of damage... but as far as I know lightning isn't working properly against armor. Did you check the combat log?

No, I never had time to intimidate her Even though, I am not sure that would have helped... The Stalker only used two FS attacks on me:

Furor of Tranquility for 1222 points of damage.... My mind went "poof", and Cascade of Hatred for 1602 points of damage.God know's what that last one hit as I was already incapacitated by the Tranquility hit.

For some strange reason, I think 1222 shouldn't have been enough to incap me... I'm sure I have more mind than that after two Vasarian's. Need to verify that.

Yes Uudoo, I know about how lethal NS's (and Super ST's on steroids) can be when they wield stun batons, that's why I was wearing a stun resist Composite and a stun PSG.... Been slain before, receiving two consecutive 3000+ stun dmg from an NS Sentinel, so I learned my lesson

So, now to the tricky question: What is "Furor of Tranquility" and what are it's characteristics, anybody knows? (The best way to fight against it is to understand how it works)

Furor of Tranquility and Cascade of Hatred are lightsabre specials. Nightsisters get to use them when wielding regular weapons (unlike Jedi players who retain melee skills). There is a known bug where these specials are sometimes not mitigated by armour or food.

Ouch.

Thanks for that information...
