I was fighting a nightsister stalker and i was doing zero damage to her because of 100% resistence to energy. was wondering how other rifleman deal with this.

nope, some of those sisters are actually 100% resistant to all our dmg types. Some of them were less than 100%only toKinetic and Restriant. I dealt with it by sitting back and watching my TKM friend go to town. Now I'm working on TK for that exact reason.

You also are able to "deal with it" by bleeding and running, but this tactic will be removed in the next patch, so for some of those sisters your only option is to do kinetic, blast, or restraint. By the way, does anyone know who the heck does restraint damage? I've never seen it, but my guess is that it is force-powers, unless someone tells me otherwise.

Then the ol bare hand slap, when their mind is empty.

Ok, you probably don't have that option, but if you only have rifleman and no other combat class you probably will not be able to Solo a protector. You can help your friends by bleeding, but all your friends will hit the health bar and your mind bleed won't mean a thing. You can try to dizzy or stun them, but I think they have 100% resist to dizzy and I'm not sure about stun. So the only answer is to sit there and watch while the TKM laughs at you.
On the bright side the night sister Elder has 100% kinetic resist and only 35% energy so you can laugh at the tkm as you kill the 350000 HAM elder, and thats about 6 minutes of laughing.

Don't quote me on this butI read on some board where restraint is actually there resistance against stat changes. Not 100% or even really 50% on this but I did see that somewhere, so... take it as it is a rumor.
I guess I am not really helping at all.

If she's 100% to Energy, I beleive that means weak to Kinetic. Chuck a poison and when down to 1 mind, punch her in the face

One thing i have been able to do is Hit with a mind bleed and....... /NOT RUN Hit with the bleed and directly after that shoot a conceal shot a couple of times. This seems to put yourself in the conceal mode in essence "nulling" the previous shot, and the Nightsister (or whatever target for that matter) never agro's.
I have then just sat there and watched the bleed take effect until it gets down to 1 then go up and hit with my fist one time.
If there are multiple targets this takes more tact.........but same concept. You just need to do it to all of them before you run up to attack.
Trust me it works. No need to run..........after your initial bleed shot.....follow up with 2 or 3 conceals. You wont do any damage.....but that is not the goal here. The goal with the conceals is to take the NPC out of an agro state.
