First off the dropping of the HEAVY in the Master title bothers me more than any other thing in the game to date.

But the other night in guild chat I was talking to some guildies about soloing rancor, unbuffed. We after planning the next guild outting I decided I'd better brush up on my skills since I just earned my MHS back.

So I get a few marcos ready, get some average buffs and head to Dathomir. Plan for the night is to run to the NS Stronghold. Theres usually lots of NS and rancor on the way. Well I'm about 2k from the Stronghold and just went through 3 or 4 NS rancor and the NS rancor tamer. When I see 2 NS Spellweavers over the hill.

I let my mind heal up and walk close enough for them to argo me. I stand and let them charge, well what I didn't see was the other 2 Spellweavers (4 total) and an NS Protector. GREAT!!

I start using 2hLunge2 to see if I can get one to drop. Nothing. Pull out the Gaffi (I'm also 4224 Fencer), get a KD but no Dizzy and I'm not doing crap for damage. So I pull out the hammer and decided to start swingin for the fences. Combo of Area3s and Spin2s followed by a couple of Area2s.

Now mind you I have an average hammer. 4.0 spd, 448max dmg -31range mods. But I do have a +10 2h speed clothing attachment.

My wookiee swordsman turned into a spin furry flurry of blast damage devestation! The first two Spellweavers dropped one after another. One tried running but she got tagged in the back of the head with Lunge2. Then a Spellweaver runs off out of range, same with the 4th.

So its one-on-one with the Protector, I switch to my single target macro. I cant read the damage over the NS's head because I'm attacking so fast. The final hit was Beeeeaaaauuuutiful. The Hammer smashed into the side of her head as she died. And low and behold an NS Lance.

Something like...

6.2 spd
7-166dmg

Health disease
40 strength
1200s duration
70% potency
8k uses

Health Poison
137 Strength
127 duration (?)
67% potency
6k uses

About this time when I'm basking in my new war trophy... The 4 Spellweavers and 1 Protector spawn again! If going through over 50 NS doesn't give you a little bit of an ego. I dont know what does

And on that same hand theres nothing like having a NS Elder put you in your place... LOL, I never made it to the stronghold.

Yes We pwn NS's
Blast Damage is the shiz!
Good story btw, makes me feel strong when they drop like flies or flee for there lives (im a poet and didnt no it)

I made a video file doing pretty much the same thing.

I even made sure t use many different weapons..

2Handed Curved, Scythe, Cleaver, Powerhammer.

And while making the vid file..I too gained a +10 2 handed weapon speed attatchment from the rotting corpse of a Nightsister Protector.

If anyone has 20mb or so free webspace with a large bandwidth limit, let me know I'll send the vid file on

on dath alone bored as non of guild were on so i decide to go to the nightsister forced labour camp and take on ns never fought an elder b4 but knew i could take some of the smaller ones out without too much difficulty so i get to the poi t find no ns except one red dot in the cave surronded by a purple and a bue dot so i though these two guys were finishing off the cave so i just wait outside to see if they pop out, after a while therey still haven't come out so i venture in to find a ns elder with full ham being attacked by the pikeman anda tk so i see them talking to each other about making a run for it,I examine the elder and see 100% kin 100%electric resists blast vunrability so i swan up and say 'need a hand guys?' they beat her repetadly in the head till she dies, was great then i proceded to the nightister stronghold and on the way found another elder and then took her on and the protectors that continued to respawn and run to us no matter how far i dragged the elder away in the end i killed 20 protecters quite lucky as neither eldwer dropped anyhing but the last protector dropped a LVA with a max dmg of 1174 unsliced which i managed to sell to fund myingame lifestayle for a bit longer

A pity the Blast damage niche counterpart..commando...cant even come close...

hmm.. Combo of Area3s and Spin2s followed by a couple of Area2s.

may i ask why you use area2?

We really do own the NS. I just do area3 when they are in me in groups and headhit3 when they are solo against me or only 2-3 of them. Protectors, elders, initiates, it doesn't matter. If I start taking a beating I just use intimidate2 on them (master brawler owns for that skill and the extra +5 speed)

All Swordsman really should take note of the specials multipliers, I started using most of the special because of this...

Area2 and Area3 have the same damage multipiers but Area3 is supposed to Blind or dizzy (i forget which) but I've never see it work consistantly if hardly at all. Area2 is a faster move than Area3, not by much, but still can save your life when the NS jump you.

ok tnx
