After findng the usual nightsister locations had been cleared when i got onto dathomir last night (didn't fancy mokk lairs on dant for 3 hours) i decided to try the nightspider cave, so off i went clearing the spiders outside without any trouble (master rifle / TKM) and proceeded to enter the cave, the first few mobs were fine, took them down with SS2 before they reached me and continued, now as expected things got a bit harder, but by switching weapons (T21/Jawa/vk's) as required by the resists of each mob the odd med pack use and occasional meditate i was still progressing nicely. Until:
i cleared an area, looted the bones etc and had to double back to go to next area, then i spotted a couple of re-spawns in a previously cleared area, a nightspider web dancer. had a quick look at her resists and noticed all i could hit her with was my trusty T21, only 130 damage with HS3, never mind, will just take a few minutes i thought to myself as i started kiting. a couple of addition lower mobs joined in so switched to SS2 and continued to kite (hopeing would take out lower mobs whilst still working on dancer).
Then disaster struck whilst on auto run (so i could stop a couple of bleeds and use a couple of med packs, i accidentally ran further down the tunnel and attracted the attention of some nasty looking spiders and other high level mobs, DOH, so hit burst run (can't take em all solo) but i was lost, so ended up running around a cavern with a few holes in it spamming SS2 to the first dancer (now down to 2/3 HAM) and using med packs, and 1st aid as required. this seemed to be fine, my health wasn't dropping too rapidly, and my meds were keeping on topof things. then disaster struck.
1st i ran out of meds, burst run ran out of puff, and the queen spider and what i can only assume was some kind of elder agroed me from down the next tunnel. it took an impressive 3 seconds for them to incap me, i hit force of will and to my amaizment they left me alone, then the second i stood up i was incapped again. but they didn't kill me, so waited for incap to wear off, and went straight to meditate to recover from the various problems i was experiencing with poisons, diseases fire choking etc. once recovered i stood up and the dancer had been restored to full health irritatingly, so i thought best to try and sneak out. this took about 30 or 40 seconds to clone at the trade outpost.
now a question. although this was immence fun, and will be going back solo next time im bored, does anyone ever get any decent loot from the cave, is it worth a looting trip or purely for fun? 
anyways have fun

I never got anything from there except wounds and poisoning. It is a lot of fun and the reason it is usually empty is because nothing drops there(that I know of).

Same here, didn't get anything in there... not to mention that elder is tougher than NS elders.

hehe good post
this place is good fun.
note - The Elder is insanely tough. i think her lowest resist is 80% with heavy armor (unless you have LS), and she has 350-375k ham. if you keep her intimidated, she only hits for around 4 or 500 (around there)...

That doesn't necessarily mean that they'll never drop anything, a lot of people were under the impression that the force dudes on Dantooine don't drop anything until some guy on Chimaeragot a legendary PH from one of those.

it was a nice change to hunt something that would pose a serious challenge if not totally own me (mokk's falling like flies is no fun)
