How can you kill these mobs, when they have 100% resists to all the damages types rifleman can do?

Humm... I thought NS elders where 35% resist to engery/blast/restraint. Am I wrong?

spellweavers are the ones with 100% energy resist but have low kinetic resist, the elders are around 35% to energy

The SpiderClan Elder has 100% resists to all rifle damage types.
Anyway, to answer your question, you don't kill them with a rifle, you need to take up a brawler profession to do it.

Same with NS Protectors. You dance around them and hit them for 4000 log dmg that does 0 floatie (actual) damage for awhile and then realize that without a meleer to help ya, you're going to die. Bleeds work, poison DOT weapons work, and pets and meleers can hurt them. If you try to bleed a regular protector or spell weaver, plan on taking forever, but it can be done. Normal elders are bait for riflemen though with 35% energy resists.

The Tusken king rifle is a wall decoration - it's actually worth it to just turn it in for your krayt skull cause it makes abetter decoration
It lists kinetic as its damage type, but it has no certification. I had one around the house for awhile, but if I remember correctly it did little to no damage (less than a bleed). These Protectors and Spell Weavers are fairly easy to take out with a melee prof though. I'd really recommend getting a TKA/Fencer/Swordsmen to help you clear them out so that you can get at the elder - where the real loots usually come from.

Sorry Shinjo, meant no disrepect to Pikemen. To be perfectly honest, I've never seen any spectacular tanking from a pike - mostly because we have so few on Intrepid I guess. I'm sure you'd make an excellent protector/spell weaver destroyer for us, I just have yet to see it. I actually hope that a little more love is tossed your direction soon. It seems like the potential for Pikemen to be a very viable prof is there with just a little tweaking.

Take a screenie of the Spiderclan elder, she has 100% resists to all of our damage types, but yes, most elders can be hit with energy.
