repeat times a billion.
Or, do what I do sometimes, mindshot1; mindshot2; /peace
wait for aggro, headshot3 while burstrunning away until the Elder loses "steam" and slows down to a walk. Kite easily while using headshot.
I'm MCM/MRM so I imagine it would work just the same for you.

Yup, the trick is to keep running and keep the distance. It works because elders have low resists against a T21 and it takes a short time to kill, so you dont have to kite a lot. Having terrain negotiation should be useful as it can't catch up when running up hill (man that's a pain for non-scouts 
).
).Speed capped + 700 dmg T21 => a little over 4 minutes of hs3.

Kite the elders up some hills while shooting hs3, with stacked bleed from mindbleed2+1..they will stop running at some point and then you will have a walking elder They will be pretty easy to kill from here.
Just use some good armor 80%kinetic30%stun armor, brandy, ahrisa/canape, and maybe dancer/musician buff. Have a synthsteak with you to..just in case the elder get to close.
They go down in 4-6min, if youre speed capped with +700T21.

Yeah, run up hills really fast. Elders don't have novice scout.
I was a Rifleman/CM (Master CM gets the same terrian negotiation as Master Scout, and any more just increases crawl speed) for awhile, and that ate Elders alive.
But if one of their friends caught up or spawned ontop of you... watch out, lol.

Find yourself a Swordsman tank, stack your bleeds, then pound away...soloing with rifleman would just be annoying as hell, you'd cross 80% of dathomir running from the elder.

Would be worth it, getting 100% of the profit and the loot, not all that much harder to do it like that than it is with a swordsman

I used to just run about a 200m circle to kite them. You stay far enough away to kite them and and you don;t run into much argo. But if you're a doc, I'd say just tank him and blast away with the T21. That's what I can do with TKM novice medic backing me.

I'm a Rifle/Doc and even with some good 80% Kinetic, two brandys and a canape I can't stand toe to toe and keep my heals up even with stim E's
I might try picking up scout and running them up and down hills.

well its hard for riflemen to tank. i have taken 7k dam from an elder once, and my crappy 80% res armor didnt do much that was 3 hit incap.
