PIck up swordsman, do same damage as a Rifleman since higher Damage Multiplier, get speed capped and should be fine.
yeah the main difference is that it costs 40 mil+ to get speed capped for swordsmen
or a little less than 1 month of fs grinding. i would just go with the kiting thing, there are a lot of hills on dath, you're bound to run into some of them and you can just kite the elder like crazy, just try to run around in a circle so you know where the hills are if things ever get bad and you arent running halfway across the planet

I use my Force Run/Rifleman build to solo any melee-range NPC. Elders and SMC Councilwomen are almost too easy, Force Run 1 and Head Shot 3 with a 700dmg T21 = dead elder in around 7mins solo, even less for the councilwomen, and without getting hit once.

nots saying I did that, say you have max rifleman and combat xp, so that 130k there already, if your at 4000 commando, you can pull 500k FS xp per buff, that just 2 more buff sesions

Elders = teh easyness to solo with mrifles, as long as u have *some* medic, and u dont get a crazy 5k tick bleed (happened once when it had 34k ham left :/). Just kite til they walk, if u run into aggro, strafe 2 in ur friend

Isn't there that burst run food that lets you burst endlessly without rest for 10 minutes or something? That would certainly make kiting easier because they will catch up if you aren't bursting..

and its not an endless burst run, it just lets you burst run one more time right after your current burst run is finished. you can just take another though and keep burst running until you run out of stomach space
