Thread: Hardest Boss yet
I have two accounts, and my second one is a master doctor. I have the doctor go with me on all my missions. It splits the bounty in half, but I've still made a killing in the past week. I've had several boss (I call them "ultra-elite") marks, and with the doctor's aid, I've had no real difficulty with any of them. I should note that my Bounty Hunter has no healing skills whatsoever, and I haven't found any good stim-packs (not that I've been looking for them).
And it does seem that the boss marks most often have nothing more than a jar of foraged bugs. Luckily, my Bounty Hunter likes to eat bugs.
Toughest one I had had a 38k HAM and Rifle Skills! Sucker was poping me for 500+ damage a shot. I got incapped twice before I was able to develop a new tactic that I can now use on Jedi missions.
My template is:
- Master Bounty Hunter
- Master Rifleman
- Pistoleer 0404
I stack up on Accuracy Food, +330 Health Food (w/ 200 action regen), Defense Food, and Damage Reduction Food. I leave ALL drinks out. I've been using Ruby Bile as my drink and take it once I hit a stim. As a result, I can use another stim instantly and can repeat this 5 times before my stomach is full.
Worked great!
EDIT:
Oh, I forget, I looted a slave colar! AHHHH!!!!!!

just a little tip: probot. group him and use him after your first strike. The droid effectively takes care of any and all regen by the boss mob. I grinded from mrifle/mcarbs to MBH and the droid made all the difference between it being touch and go to completely routine.
Just don't forget the economic factor. $50k for a bomb droid to help complete a $30k mission. ![]()
But, Joker has a good point, they can be VERY helpful if you have the funds.

Just to update what happened the next day. I went to try this boss again, i get there and the guy is there (same name, same place) only now he's not elite, just regular, and he's level 0. Stll got my 30k for the kill but I found it odd. Unless thats what happens if npc mark sends you to the cloner.
from wut ive been reading and hearing thats a bug taht happens wen u have a mark and log, also this bug seems to remove loot from tah mark and make it have no combat skills
The Elites usually take me a lot of healing before I start making a dent in their health mostly because it takes time to fully debuff them. I haven't really come close to dying to any elites and I don't think any have even incapped me once. I have been chased off once by both Rancors and Night Sisters who decided to aid my mark but I just ran until they stopped chasing me and returned to easily kill my mark. Though I must say that the Rifle elites with energy weapons are probably my biggest challenge as I have been wearing high kinetic composite. But any marks with a FWG5 or melee weapon get very quickly owned.
Just so you guys know. I have been a MRM/MBH/CM and I find that my MBH/MCM/1001 pistols with 3 boxes in Ranged Accuracy Template is much better in a lot of ways. I played it for a while with out 1001 pistols but I find the basic stopping shot and added pistol speed helpful.

Same here man.. I have gotten so many of these Jar of bugs... it isn't even funny.. on top of that I get these missions with no mark.. or the mark is white and I cant attack him... also had had the mission end for no reason I was 100m away and the mission just dropped.. i figured someone killed it.. I went to where the spot was and nothing was there no npc no creature.. nothing.. so 3 out of 4 missions for me are bugged.. and then getting crapy loot.. and every one is complaining we are getting such great loot lol give me a break...

Your gun isnt the be all and end all if you dont have decent armor to absorb some of the damage the marks can deal u will have a hard time.
I agree about my gun but should be remedied soon. As for armor I have recon with 7000 energy protection, and either hi 5000's or low 6000's for kinetic

I got the hardest npc boss for a mark I've had last night. He had twice the health of a gorax. I make that comparison because I killed one right before I fought this mark. I couldnt get his health below 50%. And even though there are better weapons out there, my scatter isnt gimp by any means. 948 max dmg, sac of 71. I even had my focus crystal effect (from a village quest) which I usually save for fighting jedi. He ended up sending me to the cloner when my mind pool finally emptied. I still have the mission though,oddly enough, so I will try him again tonight. I bought a bomb droid thing. Never used one before, but I obviously need more damage for this one.

FYI, Bomb Droids are useless in PvE because they only do about 1,800 damage (same as on PvP Jedi).
