Bah, Its only a few of the elite that are hard. I had a 36k ham one that had ridiculous regen rate. But killed a 20k ham one in less then 5 minutes. Overall the bh missions aren't that much tougher. But ocassionally they are harder. Just carry an extra suit of armor and foods for the harder ones. Eventually they'll go down.

I had 2 boss marks yesterday.


First onewith 32k ham that was very easy andsecond onewith 33k ham that was insanely hard. The first one was using some crappy cdef pistol or something and never did more than 30 points of damage per shot. His health was regenerating pretty fast, but still an easy kill.


The second one was totally different. When i start by shootin him (i play ranged char)it instantly KDd me with using kinetic pistol, changed weapon to some kind of 2h sword, ran next to me, put root and armorbreak on me and started hitting over 1k damage per hit and that 1k is after armor+foods+duelliststance reduction. On top of that it had extremely high health regeneration, unlimited action bar, was using specials from at least 4 different profession and was constantly burstrunning or warping so snaring him didnt help at all. Only reason why i killed it, was that i managed to kd it and that for some reason made it put away its sword and started using bare fists (still doing aklmost 300 pts per hit after armor)


Now i dont mind that boss marks use specials or are harder than before, but they should not have unlimited action bar enabling them to spam all the most powerfull specials all the time, their health reg should be tuned down and most important of all, they should not warp/burstrun all the time making it impossible to kite them.

Yeah, I think part of this NPC upgrade was a bit of randomizing on the stats. It use to be any level 82 Boss Mark was the same, perhaps they jumbled it up a bit to keep us interested, my guess is however, they gave the randomizing a little too much freeway and these mobs are getting far too much in one area and far too often. The use of skills isn't helping much, I get rooted everytime I take two steps, and one of them rooted me from 44m while holding an axe, odd I must say. Maybe if we ask nicely they'll tone down the regen to like 5 a second that we players get, and let the marks use heals, that'll be a nice change to this over the top regeneration business.

For a long time now Boss marks damage outputs have varied GREATLY. Sometimes you'll run across one who shoots a noob weapon that can only do 20 or so damage while other times you run across one doing ~400 damage per shot. Sounds like you got one of the weaker ones.

Dam they need to be a hell of alot harder then this.






Agreed...keep them as they are, or toughen them a tiny bit more. I enjoy a challenge for my loot.....now if they would just drop something :-)



Before the upnerf, my bread and butter was NS elders and Krayts, and back then they were ELITE mobs...300k to 450k HAM and 80 to 90% resist, and they never dropped as well as the new BH only lootables do.


We have the ONLY profession specific content in the game, we have the ONLY decent loot in the game....FFS quit whining and go kill something.



For a minute I looked at all the whining and moaning and thought I was back in the Jedi forums.

Im curious.



How are all of you doing this? My Double Gold Chevron Marks are regenning at 1k hp per tick. With full dots, and debuffs, with a doctor healing me, and using a capped Featherweight with dmg pups (MBH, MCM, Pist xxx4) I could not get himdown 2k hp for 20 minutes. I was getting hit with spices, food, and buffs, and duelist for almost 1k a pop in ubese 7k energy, with a PSG that has 2k energy resists. And If you say because you are a squad leader, or have one in the group, that doesnt count, you will be nerfed back to normal soon enough.



Edit: Fixed below to down. And added that I had food + buffs on also.

Yep. (1) Giant Nooblet right here.


I know you watched my video from today. YOU KNOW that there are some easy double golds and you know there are some that are impossible.


It's not ALWAYS a matter of "knowing how to play". I didn't get to where I am by being a noob for a couple years.


I can't wait for you to call in a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance on your first uber hard double gold. But... I'm sure you won't post about it. Won't want to seem like a noob and have "learn how to play" thrown back in your face.

so let me get this straight. You made a thread just to say how uber you are? I know you meant to say how you disagree with other bh's, but your ego is so big you had to throw in a compliment to too for yourself.



My first mark post-pub24 had a HAM of 35k and double gold chevron marks. After dying twice I had a doc bud come heal me every 3 seconds while I tanked this guy. The mark was only attackable by me. A solid hit would cut my health in half. (My armor is 5k kinetic/7k energy resist and rifle is 1150 damage with +11 to accuracy & my template is MBH/MRifles/4000CM) I was fully buffed and it took me a good 45+ minutes to kill him. His HAM regen was completely insane. At first he was regen'ing faster then I could attack. I finally used this combo to slowly whittle his health down: CriticalShot, Ranged Shot, Aimed Shot, Placed Shot, with a UnderhandShot thrown in when possible. The lower damage attacks were simply to give my action time to regen. He would KD every 30 seconds along with armorbreak, snare, blind, dizzy, etc. NO WAY could this mark be solo'd. Not even by someone so uber such as yourself.

you probably just havent come across a really hard Boss yet.......i killed a couple bosses today that werent that hard.....then i got the uber boss that i couldnt even keep up with his regen. So before you post something like this do more testing.......you'll get one of thes baddies.....until they are fixed if i see one of these that regens so fast im dropping the mission. Not worth it for a jar of bugs

BS, there is no way you didn't have to heal, unless you got a bugged one where he was hitting you for 15 points of damage.


Not saying they are impossible to beat ,if you know what you are doing, but there is no way you took him down without taking enough damage to have to heal yourself..

I have yet to try a Post Pub24 NPC bounty..but will tonight....


But for the record, was Pistoleer and MBH with some healing...honestly they were hard for me before with pistoleer....gold would about kick my ass (and did a few times) Elite were doable with effort....now as Master Rifleman the marks are cake....could bring down a elite to half or more before being spotted...and golds were easier too....will try a post pub 24 tonight for comparison...but my npc bounties were SOOOO much easier after rifleman
