So you're out Elder Hunting, and you come across him and his group. Leave your bike out in a safe area, about 50m from the group.Approach the elder from another angle.Mark her location with a /waypoint. Using careful tactics on the approach, you manage to call her out, or knock out 3 or 4 of her cronies before you engage. When the elder aggros on you , target her and type in /ex. This will examine her.

If she has...

2h Curved Sword

LVA

Scythe

Power Hammer

Stun Baton

..............

Those are the weapons that will get you killed (or slow down the process due to heals). My advice: run. Get on your bike, and go away until you break the aggro. You'll probably run into other things, so break their aggro's or kill them.

Go back to where you marked the WP of the group of Nightsister, and you will notice she now has a NEW NAME

When she engages you i ncombat, you will notice she has a new weapon, hopefully a staff, short sword etc.

Good luck

or you could just get good armor and only have to run if she pulls a stun baton. or get stun comp and try at it. ive never run from an elder with anything other than a baton and its not any harder. just intimidate they only hit for like 100dmg.

I agree the ones with 2handed sword, stun battons are harder to fight. I hate the bleeds of 2 handed, i master doc, still takes me 4to5 attempts to stop it(which really iratates me). The LVA do quite alot of damage also. shrug... but i fight them anyway.

Hardly solo elders anymore, takes me to long, and get to much bf. Hunt with 1 or 2 rifleman friends.

To cure the bleeds its easier to warcry2 and mediate...works much better for me than "first aid"...

Why running? Even Elders with Stun-Bat are not that hard to fight....All u need is a set of armor with some stun-protection....f.e.

Wearing armor with 12% stun-protection and fighting an elder with stun-bat....since the stun-bat is ap0 u cut down the damage by 62%...Yes, heard right...62%....12% by stunlayers in your armor and another 50% cuz it stands AP0 weapon against AR1 armor(comp or wook hunting)....Equip an psg and u cut down the damage by another +40%...Along with intimidate(50% reduce) and stun-stat(20-25% reduce) the elder deals next to nothing damage...not counting synthissteaks or toughness...works quiet the same way with other melee weapons....80/80 armor along with intimidate, stun and eating a steak works fine to cut down the damage-output...

yeah i only fear the bleeds. i solo'd axkeva the other day when she had a powerhammer.. The blast dmg really do anything if it did i used stim d's to heal it. mind bleeds irk me but since i got first aid , i usually healed myslef but after a tick or to which is anooying, just intimidate warcry and snysteak and you can solo anything ohh it helps if you have pimp armor i wear 85% base so that helps.. but stun baton get heck outta there.

AP2 weapons are no prob....it stands ap2 against ar1 and so the elder gets a bonus of 25% to the damage...since u have melee migrat3 she will hit u only with the min damage of the equiped weapon...f.e.

elder hits for 3000 damage +25%(ap2 vs. ar1) - 80% Armor - 43(48)% Toughness - 43% Synthisteak - 50% Intimidate -20% Stun-Stat = less than 100 dmg.

very correct about the armor info. I wear a set that has been pieced together over time 88Effect and 40 Stun.No matter if they pull a stun baton or anyother weaponif you have the right defenses and the right armor you will be fine AS LONG AS YOU HAVE SOME MEDIC!!!! To me that is the key if you are even thinking of soloing an elder 9 times out of 10 you will need medic as the bleeds are horrendous. Just my thoughts.

Thats strange, maybe its a armor thing but the stun batons are much easier for me than the ap2's. I also dont have the patience to get 10 suits sliced to get all 90%.

On Scylla stun armor runs about 425k, or I get kinetic for 100k

Easier to just spend the 1-2 mins to make the elder respawn.
