eesh...

Haven't yet fought one myslef. But I have asked a few times...here was my replies.

Ok, if they equip STUN weapon...your toast, run. Even with STUN composite...you won't last long.

If you HAVE to tank a STUN elder, use a PSG AND Stun COmp with synthsteak.

Otherwise, you either have to have 2/0/0/0 medic for healing bleeds yourself or a medic with your group to heal them.

You need 80% Comp and a synthsteak to help aleviate the damage. Good buffs are a plus. Keep COB running at all times. Try to keep Stun, Dizzy, Intimidate and Blind on the elder also.

Give that a shot...and if I missed anything, others will probably fill it in.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye, then it's just fun.

You should be able to tank it easily enough as long as you Intimidate it & keep that intim on it. Sometimes the Elder will just get off to a good start & you might need to run away & start again. If they pull out a Stun Batton, personly I'd probably just run, but if you have very low Stun Resist you should be able to manage it though you will need quite alot of healing (Stun weapons are ap0, Comp is ar1 so you actulay get a much higher resist then whats on the armour).

They can drop very nasty bleeds so it often helps to have Medic 2-0-0-0 at least so that you can heal them, I've heard of them ticking for 500+. You might wan some foods for backup, personly I'd probably have some brandies, 1 Ahrisa & then some Canape read to eat if you start taking too much of a mind beating.

Follow those few steps & you should be fine. Though Stun battons will cause alot of problem no matter what but it is doable if you have a good team suporting you.

Due to their use of the force though you have to go in expecting to have to work for it to tank, not just stand there like so many TK's think they can do to tank anything once they are buffed.

ive tanked 3 elders, 1 protector, and one sentinel at 1time with tkm/fencer/brawler so i think you can do atleast 1 with just tkm. just keep them intimidated

Pac-Man

yup tis easy enough i ve done it with 2 people since im a MTK / Master i just sat intim on her and knocked her down a few times while my master commando / MTKA friend pummeled her with fancy commando weopons and nades. Took bloody ages though and u need medic as well.

Intimidate is your friend in this case. Never let it run out. Really since and Elder is 100% Kinetic resist there is no point doing any attack special except KD every once in a while so you are free to spam intimidate all the time.

I also taunt quite often to keep the elder from attacking the swordsmen or riflementhat I am tanking for.

Keep a shot of Muon gold in your inventory. Don't take it right away. Wait until your mind goes down quite a bit. Also keep some Cannape in your inventory too to help your mind recharge.

If you have to, you should be able to keep yourself healed with a modest amount of medic, but I would recommend having a doc around because you will get dizzied and KD'd. On your back it only takes a couple of hits before you are in big trouble. It is also nice not to have to use you mind pool to heal your health and action pools.

Last but not least I run a looping COB macro. I believe that I take less damage while it is running. IIRC there was a thread about that a while ago.

Oh and before I finish. Don't spam you combat queue full of intimidates or taunts or what not. You may need to hit a stim and you don't want it to be behind a special of some sort.
