Hi everyone,
I recently dropped rifleman from my template because all I ever used against high end mobs was my trusty power hammer, my gun was only really good for getting elders to come to me and to shoot them in the back when they run away, but now when I go to fight an elder I cannot get her to come to me on her own, all of her freinds come along as well and I have to run away, so how do you guy get her to come to you on her own, taunt doesnt seem to work and I dont really want to use a gun as I will lose all of my banked xp.
Cheers

You should try using a pistol or carbine if you have banked rifle xp, if you have banked xp from them all then hold shift down and walk slowly towards the elder untill an exclamation mark appears above her head, now walk slowly away untill she gives chase, then run to 40 m away from the other ns' and she's all yours.
When she gets to about 1/10th of her mind bar she will start to run but just taunt and make sure you are between her and any other nightsister spawns as she always runs directly away from the direction that you are facing 
Hope this helps.

when i kill those spawns i don't even bother with a gun, i creep around the outside of the spawn area and get like 2 or 3 (spellweavers or sentinels or initiates.. whatever) kill them, then i go for ther protector the same way and the elder is left alone. takes longer but that way you get all of em. p.s. takes a while to get good at it, sometimes it doesn't work so be careful, but from my experience shooting the elder doesn't just bring the elder all the time too so *shrug*

just like he said pick em off one at a time. if you can get the elder first if she is alone or away from the group. be careful they occasionally have stunbatons on em. here is another tip once you start fighting them get between the elder and the ns you pulled her from. when any of her ham (mind) gets to around 40 to 30k she will take off walking then do the ns teleport. easy way to stop it is when she turns clear your attack menu and taunt her she will stop in her tracks and she won't run anymore. make sure you are between her and the ns. she will walk the way you are facing so if you are facing a group of ns with her between you and them she will run toward them
