Take the fight to the Rifleman, run towards him next time and don't tank for him
we start running out all scare my friend gets dizzy/kd and ends up dead, half way up I turn around and see that only Axkva and a protector is following me and I kill the protector and start hitting Axkva's mind,(by this time my friend was getting rebuff) I got her half mind done and my friend gets back and it was a easy kill until the end.

Spot on advice there 
The only time I went after Axkva, was immediately after server restart (I'd logged out outside the stronghold). There were two others, working together, who went in shortly after me. I think they were a TK/Rifleman and a Rifleman/Doc.
Between us, we worked our way through the intervening critters, but I was surprised to find the pairweren't following me down to Axkva. I quickly cleaned out the protectors (this was while NS were still nerfed with no force powers or specials) and set to work on Axkva.
I soon realised why they hadn't followed me down, as a rain of rifle fire suddenly fell around me - the sneaky blighters had stationed themselves by a hole in the upper level, from where they could fire in complete safety
In no mood to be outdamaged, I quickly swapped my standard PH for my 900-max Acklay, switched from Headdhit3 to Hit3,and took a second to check out the lie of the land. Then, I dragged her to the other side of their position, where I had her to myself for a precious 30 seconds. Realising their mistake, the pair soon ran down to join me, and took up positions about 40m away from me, resuming the barrage of Strafes that I knew would win them looting rights.
With nowhere else to hide, I did as adam2975 suggested. I started dragging Axkva over to them, and proceeded to chase them around the lower cavern
She was never out of range of my attacks (and I'm speed-capped, so I deal a fair amount of damage with that PH), and the puny riflemen kept having to turn and run for new positions. Additionally, I stopped using Intimidate on her, as I wanted her to do maximum damage to the Rifleman with no melee mitigation. As any honest Rifleman will tell you, rifles are NOT accurate at short range, and they kept backing off to find better attacking positions.
It's too late to cut a long story short, but suffice to say, the witch went down in short order, and I was greeted with that message we all love and hate at the same time, "You have looted the corpse of all items".
The Riflemen were amazed, and as a gesture of friendship, I offered to give them my awesome prize, a standard NS lance

we do this all the time with krayts but keep in mind there were 3 of us 2 speed cappped heavies and 1 speed capped rifle/cm. There is no way he should have outdamaged us. none 0 chance. Ok maybe if he had a 2700 max damage t21 then maybe

If ur a high level pvp'r/ns killer, then i sugggest going rifles swords, ive never, in my time been out damage with it. also with 4340 medic, i almost never die. Its actually smarter to kill more spell weavers and protects ans sent's be4 u start kiling axkva against other and so on. Part of the reason i never get out dmged is because of my 2300 max power hammer + being speed capped, and a 800+ dmg t21, which im also speed capped on. Ive out damage groups of 7 ppl with krayts half dead, groups of 5 on acklay, i actually out damaged a swordsman who had an elder down to 125k/350k mind, by doing a strafe.
So, if u hate being out dmged, do wht i do >_>

I hate people like you who steal kills from other people
And i hate people like you who take the game so seriously.
If u have a problem with me go take it up with care service, and Apply for a new life while ur at it,
Took about 3 weeks to get all the peices for a NS Energy Lance, and we ended up getting loads made
