and rofl at the guy who said use melee hit 3 that will take u probly 365 days per elder haha
head hit 3 all the way, and make sure u mind hit 2 her, to keep her mind bleeding all the way.
also if your dying lots, or taking hard hits, eat synthsteak, and use a good PSG.
whats funny is i wear enc sliced armour (44%stu,67%base), and i have medic 2200.....yet i can successfully solo elders with a bit of "intelligent" gameplay, and ive seen doc/swords get commonly pwned by elders( a friend)
and guys if ur not speed capped, dont use a dmg sliced hammer thats the biggest mistake ur ever gonna make, make sure ur 100% speed capped with the weapon u weild, i mean if its a speed sliced hammer, use a speed pup if u have to, just to make sure ur 1.0speed.

Also i dont have enough money to Speed cap. I have 250k, thats gonna buy me zilch, zero, nada, squat.
Phase 2 in the Force Sensitive village costs your only 4 skill points. Sure it willtake some grinding, but would you rather save 20 million to buy the attachments, or would you rather spend 7 days grinding the xp out? In the mean time, get a speed sliced hammer and she'll be eatin dirt in no time. Also if you want to go and try to loot some attachments on your own....try Aaukans on Talus from the mission termials, or Bloodrazors on Lok ( make sure you're in a Solo group ).
Good luck

One thing that you have to watch for tho and everyone who kills them for a living knows. Watch what weapon she is using on you. If you see a stun baton. The smart thing to do is just run. She can hit for over 5k with that thing.

Ok. I've just started my "Elder ExterminationCompany" and it's easy as long asshe doesnt whip out a Stun Baton. Aspeople have said, keep her Intimidated, Intimidate2 if you've got it,make sure you're armor doesnt have any broken pieces like mine did 30 minutes ago.....
, and make sure you notice theweapon she's using. When she uses aMedium Armor Piercing Weapon(PowerHammer, Scythe, Gamorrean BattleAxe, 2 Handed Cleaver, oreven a Long Vibro Axe) she will hit you for over 100 every time, intimidated or not; when she pulls out a stun baton just haul a$$....Elder+Stun Baton=Dead Player.

I don't even play with the stun baton wielding ones. Some people say they will take them on but I say move on, there's easier ones out there.

i keep some stun armour in my inventory (38-40%). Also a crate of psgs. if a stun elder turns up, warcry, chuck on the armour and a psg (go through about 3-4 psgs killing an elder). Take them out simple, since they hit for like 25/30 through armour and a psg. Yes it is an expensive way to do it, but when im milking a spawn, i'd rather plough straight through her and kill the next one than go looking for a new spawn.
Any Master Swords/Doc templates having probs should take a look at my macro guide; these are the real key between staying on top of bleeds/states/attacks in a fight, and just forgetting things, getting sloppy and dying.

From what i understand, swordsman speed caps at +95. So if y0ou get master swords and the combat prowess tree then all you need is a +5 speed attachment. I dont know how much they cost off the top of my head but it cant be much more than a mil, surely? Also, you will make money by doing missions do grind enough xp to move up the combat prowess thing in the first place.
Thats what i am tryign to do anyway. may take a while though.
But if anyoen has done this, what is best best or fastest way to grind the wp xp. I traded in 900k of 2 handed xp and only got 30k of fp xp. eep!

If you got the cash my friend, grenades are the way forward.
Otherwise, the static Reb v Imp battle on Corellia is great for grinding (limitless reb commando/stormie spawns to grind on); you need medic to do this at full speed or ranged mitigation, since there will be an insta-respawn turret wasting you, but i can cap 900k swords and 100k combat in about 25 mins here, and can cap a full 300k combat, 900 swords in about an hour and 15 mins. BF is huge though (999) and ur armour will get wasted too, oh, and watch out for overts
But, on the plus side, its quick, you also get loads of fp, about 100k in credits from loot, and one or two decent aa/ca (ive had a few armou/weap exp tapes ive sold for a mint).
I've made about 50k faction points in about 4 or 5 buff sessions doing this.
