Any tips on how to kill these things without getting my ass chewed.

I'm using a 190-590 8.4 T21.

I use an e11 and a 2H curved sword. They are at about 1/3 mind by the time they get to me and a swift decaptiation comletes the task.

Listen... all you do is go out to your maximum distance. 64 meters. Go prone and hit the Baz Nitch with a Mindshot1.. then hit it with a Mindshot2 (if you have mindshot2).. then you should have enough time to get off a head shot before the creature starts to get pissed and run at you. Get up off the ground, and run away from the creature firing headshots at it. Once the creature has gotten a sufficient gain on you... something like 30 meters away or so, fire a Warningshot over his head and hit the Peace button so you stop firing. Let him run away to about 50-55 meters, then plug him with more Headshot2's. Repeat the process of running away, Headshotting, and Warningshotting him. He should die fairly quickly if you do both Mindshots on him. It only takes me about 30-40 seconds or so to do enough damage to him to kill him.

Be careful though. These guys hit hard. Make sure you do the Warningshot before he gets too close. And also make sure you press the Peace button after you fire the Warningshot. If you dont hit the Peace button, he will run right back at you. Let him run out a bit, then plug him.

Hope this helps you a little bit. This is the same method I use, so it should work fine for you.

Forgot to add...

If the creature runs away from you too far... IE over 65 meters, you will not get any exp. I have to stress that it is extremely important that you follow the little piggy when he runs, just let him have a little head start.

BTW. I do this method with a DL20a. I hit an average of 800-900 points of damage per hit with Headshot2. You should do fine with any weapon, but i would suggest something quick. My laser rifle does the job, but it's inconsistant, and kinda slow at 6.5 speed. My DL20a is sliced to 4.0 speed, and I use attachments on it that give the gun even faster refire. I carry a bunch around in my backpack. Normally, my gun is firing at 3.5-3.6 refire.

Good post Salomon

I was running missions this moring and managed to kill one. took me a hell of a long time but I'll try your method next.

Question tho, I have mind shot 2 and it sure don't seam to do any more than Mind shot 1?

Both hit in the 300-400 range, what's the dif? They the same just stacking?

all the above ideas are great, but I have the easiest

if you are a imp or a neutral and you can find some imperial troops around (they are out there u just gotta look)

pull one with overcharge and then run past the imps they'll be more than happy to blast him for ya

i'm used this to get to novice ch because i couldn't handle them myself

omfg,

you have a T21 and you cant kill em ? !? ?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?! pathetic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you're a horrible player that cant figure out how his prof/class works and do not deserve such a godly weapon. give it to me !

maaaaaaaaan

on my server there isnt even a hope of a T21 cause of some stupid resource bug or something like that. we kill em using higher end DLT20a and spraysticks , sliced and with appropriate powerups of course.

and you shouldnt waste your time on headshot/mindshot. go for cover, concealed shot instead and learn how to use it and with which powerups, aand of course ditch the armor if you have any, get full outfit of clothing + skill enhancers + shield gen. you'll need the HAM bar at full or forget it. if you do it right you wil rarely get hit, if you do get hit you're pretty much toast armor or no armor so tehre is no difference there.

and get into some food and a little scouting too, it helps a hell of a lot.

Wookie1985:

There shouldnt be much of a difference in the damage of Mindshot1 to Mindshot2. The difference is in the length/duration of the mind bleed. When you put these two together, they stack. I can usually stack two 600 point Mindshots making for about 1200 points of damage per turnaround.

THAT, is a stupid idea.

Prolly takes you forever to kill a Baz Nitch plinkin away randomly at his HAM bars with Conceal Shot. It takes me around 30-45 seconds to kill a Baz Nitch.

Pire. You should Kill these things a different way. You are doing it the slow and tedious way. The best way to do it is to bleed his mind with Mindshot1 and Mindshot2, then rape him with Headshots.

There is no sense in chillin there on ground hitting him for 400 damage to a random health pool when i could be hitting him for 900-1000 in his Mind pool only.
