Hey has any Master swords soled the elder in past few days? I tried tonight and got my ass kicked what the hell? I have done it plenty of time in the past. Im master Swords, Master brawler, novice Doc, meditate line in tk, and novice pike. I was getting hit so hard i thought my new chest plate had broke and i wasnt cobing but my armor was fine and so was my cob macro. I had to burst run out. Was wondering if anyone else had noticed this. If I run into more elders like the one tonight im not sure i could solo them anymore.

...COB does jack all vs an elder.
what weapon was it using?maybe a stun baton? or something AP2 (but thats not enough extra dmg to run from it)
whats your comp like? most of my comp is 85%+ but its only 78% electricity its a bit harder for me when an elder pulls a Vibro Lance.
did you get hit with one of them 1500+ bleeds?
it could be anything, i soloed 3 last night and 3 others in a 2 man group...they didnt do much at all cept bleed.

ya i used warcry two and Intimidate two. I have done it before infact i killed an elder by myself over the weekend. Howver, tonight I noticed a big difference in its damage at me enough to think my armor had broke. I was wondering if maybe they did a kinda of stealth damage output increase on high lev mobs or something in this latest mini update. I was wondering if anyone has tried to solo one since wednsday? Oh I use a sliced Power hammer on them. Usually i hit them with some mind dot lance i have then use my power hammer

I soloed about 10 last night. Went out looking tonight but the spawn was dead and I didn't find jack. This is the second post I've seen where someone said that elders are hitting a lot harder now. Sounds like there might been a damage increase for 'em...

Did it whip out a Stun Baton? I had that happen to me and it took me 2 deaths to see the baton, left it alone after

Yeah stun batons hurt a lot, buy some 25% or 40% stun armour and get it effec sliced to 80% base. Allways carry psg's with you and they go from hitting you for 300 a hit to 30 a hit, which is a nice decrease

I I took out an elder two nights ago. Relatively easy as she just had a sword. Just took me a long time because I am not speed-capped.
Regarding stun, I notice when any NS pulls out a stun weapon (e.g., I hate stalkers because of this). My HAM drops very quickly. I find myself healing constantly. And if you find yourself with strong bleeds, the same thing can happen.
But no, elders are still the same from what I saw.

They jacked up damage on NPCs it seems, I've been hit with 1k tic bleeds in the geo cave of all things, and my jedi got beat down by 4 geos in seconds, even with 5k HAM.
