Rifleman Archive

man SOE is adding content, making MOBS harder and harder to kill and loot rare to come by, rofl.

Elders have like 35% energy, if our tusken rifle was kinetic (like it's supposed to be) instead of energy, we'd be able to damage the spell weavers.

How can i kill hard nightsisters now?

I went up and bled a NS Spell Weaver, and she took like 100dmg a tick. I'm sorry but this is weak now sony have taken the ONLY way of killing those sort of mobs. I wouldn't mind if i didn't need the NS shards and layers they drop, but as sony have decided to make loot in the game and make it rare i'm left stuck. This really annoys me, what was their problem with people having fun killing those sort of things, i can understand rremoving stacking bleeds but come on i used to get a sense of acheivement when i finally brought one down, now i et kd-dizzy (GREAT invention btw) and its all over. No gun i have damages them.

I'm really annoyed, neone no a gun they DON'T have 100% resist to? If they were like us and had a certain level of armour which i could whittle down then attack them fair enough. But there is nothing. Gah its SO ANNOYING

There is more to things then bleeding. Use examine and find the right target for the right gun. t-21/laser/jawa.

I've killed lots of nightsisters. I try to avoid the big bad ones with high energy res or 100k + hams. Lately I've found the Arch Witches are good fun. I found the key to killing them is using LOS and Terrian, find a Nightsister close to some of those wonderfull cliff/valleys on dath. I fire off a strafe2/flush2/flurry2 intial strike then start auto fire and run my butt off up and down the cliffs/valleys in S shape. Try to scout out the area first so you don't run head 1st into a Ancient Bull rancor lair or Flyiers. It takes some practice but you can take em down in short order. (BTW I miss alot but its still good fun)

Dude that has to be the most pathetic post I have ever heard: "waaaah I want to beable to kill anything by myself with out the use of any tactics or thinking because if I cant then how will I get my uber loot to make me even more uber!"

Tussken King Rifle is Kinetic

Lol i love these "pan everything posts" i have an opinion, just because i post about it and ask people if there are anyways to change my tactics to help aid in killing these mobs seems to offend you in some way, as if my opinion is influencing yours or something.

I'm sorry but i do think its a bit unfair for an entire class to be unable to fight certain mobs bcause of their resists, if the tusken rifle was kinetic, fair enough, if we had slight variations in dmg type fair enough, but we don't which essentially means if i wanna fight these things i'm going to either have to drop rifleman or drop armoursmith, both i love and don't want to. I LIKE hunting for loot, just like some people LIKE pvp and some people roleplay. I don't complain if someone has a VALID complaint about these sorts of things. All i was doing was asking for help and some advice on how to kill these things. As it stands it looks like i'll have to make do with hunters (as initiates, tamers and sentries drop nothing good) If u don't like my post then why complain, bringing it back up to the top and getting more views, the sensible thing to do would just let it drop down and let it be forgotten. Also if we didn't have things like armour holes and warping when dismounting speeders perhaps i would be less inclined to moan

Anyway thanks for those who cleared a few queries up for me. I'm attacking jantas now which offer a challenge butCAN be killed at least

What else do you have in your build? Can you pick up another weapon skill that makes up for the damage types you need?

As for killing Nightsisters solo - you could still do it. Grab scout terrain negotiation and kite the thing all over the place - shooting as you go. It'll take a while but you should be able to do it.

Also - there are reports of people taking down 100% resist mobs with the resisted damage type, not sure what to say to that.

Relax, nighsisters are supposed to be hard to kill. It is still posible to kill them, but you will probably need help now that you can't hit the 100% resist types. I personally can't hold up against an elder for very long by myself, but when I had a TKM with me (he couldn't hurt her with kinetic) I was able to take her down in 8 minutes with My T21 while he tanked. So you need to group now to kill hard things, isn't that what this game is about?



They change and break things in this game all over the place, its better to adapt to the changes rather than complain about them. If you were not whining and just asking how to dmg and kill a creature with 100% energy resist by shooting it with an energy weapon I can't help you other than to tell you to group with somebody who can do kinetic dmg. You might be inefective against the protectors but you can still more than help on the rancors, trainers, rangers and elders.

lol.. i cant belive iam seeing soooo much complants. that you cant hurt something.. if you dont have it in this class change to another one. go tka and get your ken damage.. or DONT FIGHT IT Alone.. come on really.. with soo many choices on damage we really have no room to complain.
