Thread: Can riflemen solo a NS elder?
Get buffed, down 2 BE brandies, maybe some vagnerian canape, make sure you have good terrain negotiation(scout 4 00 0 for this), mind shot her once to pull her then run and find some hills where u can kite her up and down and in circles to reduce aggro. She slows down alot during this and just spam headshot3 and minshot 2 when bleed wears off.Mind poison and mind fire rifles also help somewhat during this but no real need to waste them here. Powered up t21's are key too.

Master Rifleman
i did.
got top notch buffs, all 2400-2600 points. got top notch double brandy, AND a canape, AND synthasteak.
i was wearing 80% kinetci comp sliced suit, about half and half effectiveness and HAM as it came out.
i am master rifleman, master fencer, novice TKA for the little bit of defense boost and meditate, 2,0,3,0 medic.
with this setup i was unable to tank the NS Elder as soon as the synthasteak ran out. problem was in order to tank it i had to go melee, fencing, and wheni went fencing i couldnt damage the damn thing. after about 20+ min it had its bars down about 25%
, while i was out of meds, out of powerups, and my bike got blown up. needless to say i ended up in cloning term.
there is one more thing i would try. musician and dancer buffs. problem is, that the only time that the NS elders are not completely camped there arent any musicians/dancers to buff me and i get only one day off work a week. the remaining time its just too much KSing and associated bullsiht for me to handle, thus i leave cause its not even worth trying.

Solo'ed 5 today...see sig for build. Start with HS3, spam the crap out of it till she gets close, or I get tired of dodging aggro mobs while kiting her, then I swap to my 650 dam PH and pound the stuffing outta her, making sure I keep her intimidated and that my COB macro is running. On the very last one, I didn't bother to gank the spellweavers and protectors around her before I started my pull. This is what I get for being lazy....they all went aggro on me. So I just stood my ground and took it like a man. 17 min later, all dead.
After all that work, best loot of the day was a +8 UADam/+5 Rifle Acc Moving/+4 Def Vs. KD AA....off a NS Stalker no less. Got 2 sets of 10 shards off the Elders, credits off the other 3. Protectors and spellweavers dropped some other interesting SEAs, couple of mutli-Dot Lances, one crappy LVA and about 75k in credits....bunch of heavy duty clasps and locked containers.
Armor lost around 3k condition on the chest, 2.5k on the helm. All in all, not a bad day.
Meh...forgot to add...you can probably forgoe the MBrwlr....grab some Fencer, say 4-4-0-0 and ditch the rest into medic...that will cap your melee and ranged def, plus give you +75 vs KD and I think, +60 vs Dizzy. Or, if all you want to do is cap melee &ranged, then just go 4-0-0-0 Fencer and rest into medic, with maybe 1-0-0-0 scout for a little terrain nego.
