this is how i do it and it is pretty easy...... first my template is medic 3100 master brawler/swordsman and working on the pistoleer 0040 currently 0010 oh ya tk 4000


get a power hammer w/ about 700 dam i have one 616 one but w/ a power up its over 700. get the elder by itself and put yourself between the elder and the group you pulled it from. this way when its mind gets low it will run the opposite direction. use head hit 3 and mind hit 2. keep it intimidated the hole time. with a good power hammer it should take about 10 mins at the most. depending on how many times it knocks ya down and bleeds ya. the hardest thing is the choke and bleed. if you notice that he is hitting you for about 200+ constantly you are being choked badly. this is why i have some medic skills. if you get bleed it will take 3 or more first aid heals at the lvl i am at to heal this. you don't want to have these bleeds stack they will start dropping 1k of life off if you let them stack. if you have mind poison or disease weapons use these as well it will help a bit not much but it helps. try and keep the elder with bleeds and intimidate at all times. the last thing is armor i use 80% comp armor to all stats except for stun. with this you should be able to solo elders.


well the best of luck to ya and i hope this works for ya



Paid up till mid June after that we will see what new games are out best of luck
Hope you get it right SWG i mean EQ2

yeah, i tried to solo my first yesterday since the patch, I quickly realized in need first aid, i had it about half way down when it really started stacking the bleeds on me, with first aid i could have definitely held on through the rest of the fight.

Get all buffs you can, and get some food to help out, drugs for back up, incase the **edit** hits the fan...try and get em dizzy with 2handhit3, and then posture change em...then smack away....

I still have trouble soloing elders and I'm a master swordsman/master doctor. I'm using 1200 power stim E's, sword speed attachments, normal buffs, mind buffs, brandy, and 86% kinetic armor. She always seems to hit my mind too much or my health so much that I spend more time healing than attacking.

mbrawler/mswords(+98 speed)/mpike(i love pike)/novice medic.


If the elder does not pull an ap2 or a stun baton on me i can solo them, with buffs, brandy, ahrisa, one muon, powerboostand good stim bs keep the bleeds off. However if she pulls an ap2 swords or lva, i need another medic backing me up to heal bleeds and pour stims into me.

That's pretty much my experience with the Elder, I have no speed tapes and my PH is only 540 with Powerups. And i am 0040 medic rather than 3100, but seems to work out ok even with stacked bleeds as I heal myself for about 1700 or so with med-use 40 stim-E's.


I'm wondering if I will even bother with the Elder. I've onlybeen master for a couple days, and so only killed her twice, but both times I've looted nothing from her after 25 minutes and plentiful item decay, and then gotten good loot from sentries on the way out. Oh, that's not entirely true, I did loot 4326 credits the first time,

I tried it again today and didn't have any trouble. It just took a really long time.

My armor lost over 10k condition too.

i soloed one which was wielding a Scythe, that was my hardest so far (except stun baton).


got similar temp as above, MSwords/MBrawler/Doc3040.


also, another tip


When the Eldar starts to run away, use /taunt, this stops her in her tracks, also, depending on what weapon shes using, u can hitbut she cant hit you (except force powers), dont ask me why, but she just seems not too move for about 30secs, then u have to re apply taunt when she runs off again.
