Thread: 36k health mark take 2 pwn3d again
the steak only lasts for a short time - after the steaks ran out i was getting nailed.
yes i'm CL80 - mbh/m-pistoleer
yes it was for 700+ damage.
yes i have 7k energy armor.
no the condition is not 0.
i kite, root, knockdown jedi which does nothing for NPCs who have ranged weapons greater than my pistols. however, i don't hunt PC jedi anymore because 1) i hate kash, and 2) i just don't like dealing with the rediculous attitudes of the jedi regardless of whether i won or lost.
yes i'm sure it's much easier to fight if you have combat medic due to additional DOTs/Heals.
i'll be picking up medic tonite for extra heals, i'll be using a PSG next time, i'll be buying a combat droid.

Why do people assume a 36k mark is a 36k mark? They are not all the same. Every once in awhile you will come across a mark that hits as hard as hes describing ive had 3 out of about 30. First boss mark i had was one of the hard hitters and he kicked my butt. Next one i had i buffed up took every food i thought would help took some spice and i wasted him. But i also noticed he was doing 2/3rds less damage then the first one.
The first one was the only one i lost to. But i have had a couple of close calls. Dont worry you guys will run into one eventually and wonder why in the hell your getting hit for 500+ through your 7k armor.
Tal'set
PS i use 6400 resist battle armor which is about 50% and ive been hit for over 700 as well but i have healing to offset the damage somewhat.
how can you tell what damage they're doing against you?
by the way, i do appreciate the suggestions.
i'll throweyeshot back onto my combat bar - i took it off after the CU in favor of some other ones.
Secret I will share with you, my friends. As a pistoleer, you are range limited. However, you can move within 10m, and you are just as effective. The mob will change to melee, and all of a sudden, he isnt so bad. Tested and verified.

Check your comat log, some of the marks use kinetic weapons and do hit for more damage because your armor is 5k kinetic and a psg does nothing to lower the damage.
Yep they do... but seemingly rarely... At least from what I have seen....
Yep there are definitely bosses and BOSSES - I've had about 3 of the later - they use kinetic FWG's and don't (or at least not on me) use area attacks, so getting other mobs to attack is a bit harder.
I tried a number of things including:
using a rifle and stopping shot - he still hit me at 63m 
Med droid - didn't last long
A friendly Doc or CM - Works but how many of them will travel 8k across dathomir forhalf of a melon?
Combat droid - worked - just! 
The 3rd one did agro a mob but i think they already had red name tags
Oh yeah and carry a set of Assault in your droid for when he delivers the 1st incap

i've did about 30 or so BH missions over the weekend looking for a 36k health mark again...i was handling 17-22k health marks easily. sometimes, not even having to use a single stimD.
now - i have a range problem because i'm a pistoleer (still don't have a good rifle).
i got wasted AGAIN.
it seems that without a rifle and medic skills, you may as well not fight the 36k marks. they are truly elite.
not only did i get my a$$ kicked, but i couldn't even get this npc to 2/3rds health before my belly was fully of ruby and i couldn't even stim myself anymore.
tonite - i dump my artisan skills (good bye vendors) and pick up medic.
Out of a similar number of npc missions, I have pulled two 30+k elites and one under-20k elite (yes, double gold chevrons). The first over-30k wiped the ground with me. Then I went and picked up some stim D's(1173) and took the second one out fairly easily, using 4 stims and one bliel. I am a MBH/MD with a 988 max damage adv. laser rifle. Only help I had was from 2 of Jabba's guys who didn't last more than 10 seconds each (it was at Wayfar).
