Hi all,


I've been rifleman/doc for a while. I Haven't hunted NS too much though. I know they are pretty difficult at close range with the force powers and hard hits.


Here's what I'm specifically interested in learning:


a.) What weapons should a NS hunting rifleman have on him at all times? (ex: T21, Jawa, DXR6 etc...)

b.) Is conceal shot the only option for a solo rifleman against NS? Other tactics?

c.) Which NS should be avoided by a Rifleman?


Thanks

a) . just a t-21


b) no you can fight nighsisters toe to toe , especially since you have doc .


c) avoid protectors , spellweavers and stalkers . these three nighsisters are 100% resistant to any kind of damage a rifleman can use .



that basically leaves you with initaiates , rangers , sentinals and rancor tamers . if you are a speed caped rifleman using a damage sliced t-21 , you will pretty much kill them with advanced straff if you start firing at them from 50m to 61m away . by the time they will reach you they will either be dead or close to it .


elders can be soloed as well , there are several posts with suggestions and tactics all over the rifleman forum .

im not a rifleman, just a swordsman forum swimming.


anyway, dont be discouraged if you cant find many good nightsister spawns. theres tons and tons of sith shadow npc's spawning on dath right now and its screwing up the nightsister spawn (not the spawn at and inside the stronghold, just the wild spawns) i spent 3 hours and barely came away with 2 crystals, 3 pieces of nightsister lairs and some locked containers.
