Don't expect to be able to solo elders any longer, all it takes is a good force weaken and your buffs are no more. As for the rest of the Nighsisters... My template is Master Swords / Doc 3/4/4/0 / TKA 0/0/0/4 for the extra defenses. When out there this morning I was still able to take on spawns of 5 outcasts, 5 rangers, and 5 stalkers. All of these have light armor though. When I tried to take on another group of 5NS with 3 spellweavers, and 2 protectors I got my a$$ handed to me pretty quick. I think that if it was all spellweavers or spellweavers/sentinals I may have been able to do it, but without Doc skills I don't see that it would really be possible to take them on multiple at a time.

One on one wasn't much of a problem except with the protector, because she used Force Weaken multiple times and drained my stats to almost nothing. My advice is stick to the light armoredNS if your on your own, and don't try to take on anything higher unless you have some Doc Skills and good Stims. As for elders I wouldn't even bother now since you'd need a group with a few good masters, and at least a Doc or 2, and with the loot system the way it is, most of the time you get nothing, a few creds, or some really poor loot to split between you.
