Try and agro just the elder on you, if she decides to bring any of her sisters intimidate the elder and drop the other ones first. (They can be pests.) Depending on what weapon she is using i.e. stun baton, power hammer, or another 2handed weapon you may want to back off until you get a bit more comfortable killing them.

Like the above posters said spam a bunch of intimidates on her and keep putting more on her through out the fight; you never want her to put a bleed on you while un-intimidated. Use head hit 3 on her and every once in a while do lunge 2 just to knock her down (it doesn't do that much of a difference but it make me feel better and you do some more damage while she is on her back.) Don't bother with a dizzy; I've only seen a Jedi put one on an elder before.

Dancer and musician buffs are crucial as is brandy. Keep a muon or a couple of canape handy for emergency mind regen incase she happens to special your mind. If she blinds you, which she will, take a snow cake if you can't live with the frequent misses. If a bleed gets on you expect to heal it around 3 times before you stop bleeding. Always watch your health and heal accordingly, sometimes forgoing a first aid to heal yourself with a stim D or if you are lucky enough a stim E. If things get really dicey spam war cry a bunch of times, heal yourself and once again intimidate her.

Towards the end of the fight she will start to run away, clear your combat queue and taunt her a couple of times to stop her from warping away then start pounding on her mind again.

My template is pretty much the same: Master Swords, Master Brawler, 0304 TKA, 0400 Fencer, 0040 Pikeman and 2140 medic. You should do fine if you just act smart, keep her intimidated and heal your bleeds.

Honestly....leave them alone and kill protectors and lower. Less chance of death, much faster to kill, more chances at loot. Elders are good when you have a couple of close friends to tag along and you can cut them down in under 10 minutes.

Thats true soetimes you can get lucky and the Elder will spawn with an AP0 weapon like a Wood Staff or One Handed Curved Sword...you get it.So if they do spawn with an AP0 Weapon, Elders are fairly easy to kill with Master Swordsman as long as you keep your bleeds at bay with First Aid, Keep her Intimidated, and don't get careless on heals.
