There are reports circulating the forums regarding the new difficulty of the NPC "Boss Marks" since Publish 24 has gone Live. The main issue seems to be that the NPCs are regenerating health faster than damage can be dealt

I have not had the chance to run an NPC bounty since Pub 24 myself, so I cannot confirm or deny these reports (I will be running some tomorrow). What I am saying is that I need lots of feedback from any Bounty Hunters who have run a lot of NPC bounties since Pub 24 has gone Live

In your feedback, please include info such as what are the stats of your equipment, what your build is, what is the max health of your target, what buffs you had, what debuffs you used, etc etc. In other words, include anything you or your mark did that you feel influenced the fight.

Please do not post things like "My mark was too tough. Fix them" or "You don't how to hunt. Don't fix the marks." Be as specific and to the point as possible

Let's keep the attitude of this thread positive

** RESERVED **

when i get home later i'll run NPC missions for a few hours and post my results.

Okay, quick form so i posted this already in another thread.

Took me three attempts to get it downand i dont think they are too hard, btw.

In the first attempt i tried it blank with no food, buffs and bad condition armor - had to run at half health of the mark

Second i died to my own fault.

Third i used the below Combination and killed the mark after a few minute fight.

Mark - 32k HAM Double Chevron gold Mark

Armor - 8k+ energy resist recon armor with AB slice ( the mark used energy )

Weapon - Featherweight FWG5 ( SAC pup ) Sac 47 / 940 maxDmg / Speed 1.76

Clothing - mostly capped in all relevant stats, like ranged def, pistol acc, gen ranged acc., etc.

Food - Spiced Tea, Blob Candy, Eishandruu ( yes i know with unequip -reequip weapon ), Pikatta Pie, Ruby Bliel, Booster Blue, Merlion Crispic, Aitha, Exo Protein Wafers ( more then one )

Full Doctor Buff Set

Debuffs - Thyroid Rupture, Intimidate, Blind, Stun, Dizzy

Template - MBH / MP / Cm 0004 and some Fs skills in ranged speed

have a nice day...

My Template

MBH, MCM, Rifles 4XXX

Wearing Marauder 6000/6000 armor
Using enhancers for both Fire and poision, and thyroid rupture.

Rifle

ALR, 2.47 base speed, 501 - 1183 damage, ACCy 17, SAC 84

Ranged speed 101, Accy 214,

Melee Def 200, RDef 233

Using Bofa Treat, Blob Candy, Pikatta pie, Neutron Pixie, & Spiced Tea, No Buffs

I hit the mark about 10 times and his health was regenning extremely fast. I threw Fire and Poison on him and that seemed to slow his regen down quite a bit and kept thyroid rupture on him the entire time. Took about 10 minutes as I had 5 minutes left on my Neutron Pixie when I finally killed him. He never did any melee attacks on me so I never saw any of the huge numbers that others were seeing. Almost forgot, took about 3/4 of my mind by the end of the fight.

Got a Poster and a smuggler tool for my trouble + 30k.

My only concern is that it is not worth the trouble to fight them based on the damage to my armor that a 15 minute fight does + food + buffs + enhancers to only get 30k and some junk. The loot seems to be even less than before between my guildmate and I we have done 20 or so missions and nothing other than smuggler tools.

Ok first I was reading the posts and I was thinking they can't be that bad, on my 15th mission I got a double gold chevron. I didn't even stand a chance. I have been a BH since Dec. 2003. Here are some of my stats.

Template - MBH, MPistoleer, CM x4xx

Scatter Pistol 1.03 Speed, 936Dmg, Sac 46, Accuracy 1

Armor - Using PvE Armor, not my elite stuff I use for jedi but still 7k energy (Sliced for AB)

Attachments - +36 Pistol Speed, Healing Efficiency +31, Medical Warfare +10

Food - Pika Pie, Spice Tea, Blob Candy, Bofa Treat and some other goodies as needed. Spice - Blue Booster

Doctor Buffs

I started off with a Blind Shot, figuring I would take less dmg if he was blinded. Then I hit him with Fire,Poison,Disease,Bleed. By this time I am hurting bad, so I bacta shot, using my Janta Stim, and still have to use bacta spray (not a great healing move but i was hurting bad). Then Igofor his regen rates or thought i would. Improved confusion shot, intimidation shot (nothing lands). So I know I am dying here hit bacta shot again and throw a wild advanced critical shot at him (566 DMG). Meanwhile I am getting hit for 880-1097 dmg (and I have my duelist stance on too). Healing again I figure my terr nego must be better I will root him and run up a hill and try to get away. Wrong again 3 advanced stopping shots all failed. A few heals later, I am in the cloner.

Now all the hardcore BHs will say wear 8k recon, that wouldn't have helped much. Do I need to improve my skill, I don't think so I have been playing this profession for a long long time. I have great techniques, I am able to solo GDK, Giant Krayts. But this Boss mark tore me to pieces

MBH, MCarb, Pistol 0004, Med 0010

Could not get the boss below 50% health, no matter what. This was a 20 + min fight.

Finally, I ran out of mind and could not heal any more = I died twice.

I used Mandalorian Wine and Booster Blue and a Healing Droid. My stim D's heal for 1400+ (jantas)

I had a double gold chevron mark about 20 min earlier that was much tougher than pre pub 24,but I still won.

I don't mind a tough NPC mark, but it is extremely aggravating when their action Never Runs Down.

He was hitting me with snare, root, kd. Basically, it was like I was fighting myself with unlimited action and mind pool and 33+ Health.
