Anyone know what happened with the boss marks? I've been hunting them since the loot patch and now today I can't take any down past 80% health.

Not impossible, but not soloable either. Its best to get some critters between the mark and you and when the mark uses an area attack it'll aggro the critters. This works with pets also, if you have a droid or a CH pet you can position your pet between yourself and the mark and when the mark uses an area attack it will aggro your pet. A level 30 combat droid won't kill the mark, but it will efectively negate the regen of a boss mark to the point where you can kill it before you run out of mind from healing. We're not supposed to get help from other people (including our own pets???), but it is handy to use tactics to get aggro on the boss.


I'm an MBH/Master Rifleman, so your mileage may vary.

I got my first 31k hammer and took him down, today. I had to heal a few times but like 2 pieces of my armor is broken as well.

My second mission today was a CL82 (35K HAM) mark. I think the best I could manage in the 5 incaps he gave me was to get his health down to about 20K...


I suck at combat, but there's no way I could kill that mob, not even with 8K energy armour (mine is 6.8K)

its all about keeping your action up while staying healed. i ran into one that was much tougher than ususal the other say (36k, avg 400dmg a hit) but after a few minutes he was down. if he had a striker pistol, it would have ended differently damn kinetic NPCs

Took down a lvl 82 boss mark today. Had to change my tactics a bit cause he liked doing the retreat bug to me. I finally killed him and all he had was a jar of bugs.

Ran into the same problem this morning. I thought it was just me.... felt like a noob


I've taken down several before, but this one was definitely different.... couldn't get em below 80% health, kept retreating.... I was incapped more times than I could count


and unfortunately... nothing around me to agro on him


sad thing is.... I actually ate some food for this one

They are harder now because IMO they do more damage it seems. They usually do some area attacks so just get some other animals around to attack the mark. They should be able to take care of him even if he incaps you. Just be sure to do enough damage so you can still loot the corpse.

I finally have a useful purpose being MBH/MCH/CM


I just pull out a lvl65+ critter and have him do most of the tanking while keeping him healed. Just have to be careful not to pull too much agro myself.

I killed 4 "boss" marks today, one even had 35k health (others were around 30-33k). Never had a problem with them however you need to do a couple things:


1) I find a root is great to have lol


2) spice, action regen food, pik pie, ranged def food, ruby b, and I sometimes use the Healing Eff food (gives +40 HE for 2-3mins)


3) at least novice healer with a +17 bio shirt


With the above and using k/d with D.Stance, I can kill Boss marks all day no problem.

I killed an 82 Boss on Yavin yesterday...gotta say, things got a lot easier when I started eating Vercupitti and Neutron Pixie before the fight.

I can solo them with not much problem now. Template is MBH/MCarb/CM 4000, and was using a 6k Battle Armor.
