well i'm a master swordsman/master brawler with 4-4-3-0 medic and have no problem soloing elders, maybe these tips will help you..

Intimidate them ALL the time, this cuts the damage pretty much in half for 20-30 secs depending on whether u have intimidate 1 or 2.

since your doc u have no prob with bleeds, for anyone without medic this is the big killer as i've had 400+ bleeds on all pools before, even with 4-4-3-0 medic it takes 2-3 first aid's to cure it, if you dont have medic you'd die real quick with bleeds like that

If an elder has a stun baton RUN AWAY no amount of stun armor is gonna help u out in a fight as long as an elder one, unless u wanna burn 20 odd PSG's, which is not really worth it.

hope these tips help you a bit, i certainly had trouble with elders before i learned to use intimidate all the time, now i can kill 5-6 an hour if i find a good spawn also you might want to look into intimidate BE clothing, since you dont have master brawler it should help you out a bit.

Actually they are quite possible to kill even with a baton, just make sure they are intimidated all the time, wear 40%+ stun and use some synthsteak.

yeah your right of course it can be done, you should just judge whether its worth ruining stun armor for.. depending on the prices on your server it can get a bit expensive.

powerhammers is also a good one to look out for and be careful with, those constant mind hits over a 10 min+ fight can get annoyingbut its still doable

Well Rifleman are good for takin down Elders, but not by themselves. Conceal Shot just wont cut it. If you wanna keep Rifleman mayb go M-Swords M-Rifle with some medic, idk never worked a temp like that before but i know a bunch of ppl that are something like that and like it.

Soloing an Elder withMdoc/Mswords isnt that hard, it just takes time to get her down,just keep her intimidated and use a good powerhammer (some 2h speed tapes+fs melee speed tree doesnt hurt either)the hard part with this template (if you dont have SEAs protecting you from the variuos state attacks) is removing the bleeds and removing dizzy andhealing and also getting the time to deal some damage between stat removal/healing. Always keep some moun gold uncrated for emergency use.

U can see my current temp in my sig....i have no probs to kill em....all u need is good armor, a good ph, buff yourself for +2200, have dancer/musican mindbuffs, foods/drinks and cure/stimpacks...keep your cob running(macro) and intimidate them...do a warcry if u need some time to heal yourself...be aware of respawning ns...if u agro´d the elder run 100 or 150m away and kill here there...some safe distance can safe u a burstrun...

P.S. Dont forget to store your bike and have at least one swoop-deed in your inventory....

Mastered Professions so far: * Brawler *TKA * Fencer * Swordsman * Pikeman * Marksman * Rifleman * Scout * Creature Handler * Medic

i just make sure to mix the heals with intimidate/warcry, i use warcry,/heal remove stated, and speed caped using a 700dmg hammer for elder PvE i need to restick the intimidated rugly every 50-60k Mind i drop on her, dont bother healing much except for wicked bleeds or heals, dizzy dont mater much if you only fighting 1 elder and no rangers/spellwavers and stuff, then i cure dizzy as well. The only thing the small bleeds will do is raise your BF and create some moderate wounds, and the BF dont mater much since ill get 900 anyway from 3hs of NS slaying.

I do have a verccupti and syntha with me for emergencies when i get stated eveil bleeds and hard hits at the same time since i cant heal that much at the same time, alterna that i use a havala and a vercupti, so i can get it all off and heal back when im in a thight situation.

Does this require 90% armor to achieve? I have tried several elders with no success. Im master Swords, Brawler, Fencer and medic 4400 and I always get mauled. I use intimidate religiously but still no luck. Even my friend (who is master tk and pistoleer) and I together cant get one down?? They always get my mind. I have a 700 ph but I'm not speed capped. I can solo a kryat pretty easy but just not elders. Any ideas?

the armor i use is normally standard 80/80/70 comp, unsliced.

i can solo elders with 2x vasarian brandy easily enough but a mind buff comes in useful just to make sure you dont run out of mind

Master brawler makes life so much easier. I have master sword/master doc. I went to master brawler/Master Sword and dablling in Doc. Warcry 2 can buy you some time and Intim 2 last a lot longer. But, it is sure nice to be able to self buff and not wait in lines.
