What type of armour are you using?
Right now I'm using imperial faction stormtrooper armor all most of the pieces have 6200 energy and like 5500 kinetic resist so they do the job necessary until I get enough ADK's and buy a full suit of RIS battle armor which is my future plans pretty soon.
My template is: MBH, MCarb, CM 4000

Yes.
Elite = <Elite name>
Boss = <<Boss Name>> <-- double gold chevrons by each side of name
Check your armor and try to make sure you have atleast 5500 if not 6000+ resist (although I've seen players fight these bosses with assault armor that has crap energy resist) and check the condition of it. Some of your armor pieces might have 0 condition. It also depends on what the boss mark is using against you. Sometimes they use kinetic weapons as well as energy and they switch from time to time DURING the fight too.
Make sure you are eating the right foods/spices/drinks, etc. Iuse booster blue, blob candy, spiced tea, kanali wafters, snow cakes, and sythsteak. Sometimes I'll change it up and throw pikatta pie and deuterium pyro in there for dodge and accuracy. Just depends on the situation. I've also skipped the spiced tea before (mind regen) because even without it I never run out of mind, it's the action that I would run out of. But now I bought a better weapon. Elite Carbine - 429-1063 dmg, 1.25 modified speed, SAC 50 (with pup) so I'm good to go now.
Any more questions?

I have never even come close to losing to a Leet mark I find them easy. I have 4000 in CM I would asume without that they would be a hard fight but with it they are easy..

I probably need a better weapon, my carbine is SAC=85 - Speed=2. something, don't know the exact stats as I am in work at the moment(working hard as you can see) I also noticed my mind bar disappearing to quickly having to heal so much so I will try the spiced tea for my mind. The only food I have been using is blob candy and booster blue

It's the exact opposite for me. When I was using a 71 SAC (after pup) carbine even with blob candy sometimes during the fights of a 36k ham I'd be out of action, and the blob candy i was using had +184 action regen. I'm using a 50 SAC carbine (after pup) now so I never run out of action.
Mind has never been a problem for me. The most a 36k ham boss mark hits me for is like 200-300 at the very highest.

Plus it seems more and more missons are bugged where the mark is stuck in a tree or building.
sometimes the boss marks use kinetic weapons, thus why you get "rocked" sometimes ... as I assume you are using recon armor like any good BH would use.
a "good" bounty hunter would actually use composite armor and a good psg on npc missions...

811 DPS isnt BS...anyone who thinks that needs to find themselves a good rifle.
my trando with a speed PUP has a 898 modified dps.
and yes boss marks seem a bit harder, faced one the other day and it was definetly hitting me for 400-500+ at a faster rate than it seemed normal.

Definitely not b.s. My MBH/MR has an off-the-shelf HLR that's been dmg/crit sliced, with a speed PUP the modified DPS goes to 812.

LOL. I'd like to know the reasoning for this. Most of the time the NPC will be doing energy damage. The only thing that I can think of is that you're worrying about armor decay. A good BH has every single piece of armor ADK'd.

Armor-schmarmor. I don't need no steenking armor.
I take on boss NPCs unarmored. With a decent PSG, medic skills, healing efficiency clothes and a med droid, I can keep up with 95% of the boss NPCs, let alonethe elites. (It's that other 5% I have to slip into the armor for.
