Thread: Now that the Beta/NDA is over, let the screaming start!
well it sucks if your wearing energy resist armor and the mob runs up and goes melee. you can't run away to switch armor cuase they follow you and keep you from running.
i don't mind it being hard but we need to be able to equip armor or change it during combant. so if your wearing ubease and the mark goes melee you need to change to assualt. i had 2 marks go melee on me use ab and just stay melee no matter how much i ran. well you have to run them 250m away from there spot actually but you need to have your kinetic armo ab sliced and have min 8k resist to fight them if you do not have any healing. they where hitting me from 300 to 400 with 6.8k kinetic resist armor and no psg cuase there are none on sunrunner.
couldn't find one mark 3 kinetic psg.
so lets bring back armor change during combant. we need it.
I just went after aone of these potent gold 82's and let me just say this: they're nasty. Mine had 34k health and regenerated it at essentially the same rate as my DPS. I didn't have quality food with me, but it wouldn't have made much difference. He was hitting me for a minimum of 300 damage in my armor with a PSG, doing over twice that when he got into melee range to use his knife.
I'm a MBH / Master Carbineer / 4000 CM and I was using a fine gun with a low SAC and a good damage PUP. I couldn't get him below about 28k before he eventually killed me. He used that NPC burst run as soon as I put any distance between us, and did so several times.
After my second death, I called in two bounty hunter friends. They were barred from attacking him for most of the fight, even though they were grouped with me. With both of them healing me and periodically making attacks,we managed to kill him, but it tookalmost 10 minutes. Because of this, I'd have to say these are bugged. Gold's may be intended for group battles now, but the marks use different grouping rules.
Well...got home and logged in to test these out too. Only had time for 1 before I had to log,conveniently he was a boss. I decided to cover my bases and use my bh armor with +7k kinetic resist and +5k energy...also threw on a mark 3 psg to give me over 7k to both. Used the usual crispic, spiced tea and blob candy with a duelist macro running. Started out the fight with conceal shot. Got 6 of those off before he went aggro. KD and sniper, followed by kip-up before I got hit by his first attack...which was a root. He closed to melee range and switched to a pike. He made a mistake and forgot that he can AB me for a while so the damage was less than impressiveif he actually did connect. After the AB, it started to tingle a little more. Root wore off so I kd'd him again, applied a bleed and snare and began to kite. Didn't last long before he pulled a pistol out and snared and kd'd me again. At this point, I decided to see just how much of a bad a$$ he was and stood toe to toe with him (it pays to have experience as a tank and in kiting). Went through the usual kd, crit, head, crit, head, ranged, head, ranged game plan that has worked well on quick damage dealing and flexibility for any times that an extra heal would be needed. Applied dizzy and blind and reapplied the bleed as often as i could and healed when I got to about half health (which did happen a few times...yay). At the end, he went down just like all the rest.
If you keep your cool and don't panic when they do something you're not expecting, you can find a way to counter. All in all....the best PvE fight I've had in a LONG time.
p.s. Also the first 3 item loot drop i've recieved in a while, even though it was just a schematic, booster core and party poster.

this gold mark thing has me all flustered... I am MBH/MCM, and I couldnt touch the guy. I was fully buffed and fooded and my rifle is 4 way capped (speed/damage/wound/sac) and I couldnt get the guy below 30k from 36k. I hit him with all my debuffs and state shots and had no effect, not even a dent. Good way to make the game a bit more fun for the jedi and worse for everyone else, thanks devs
For the loot you guys have gotten so easily in the past, I think it's a good idea to make you sweat a bit.
I dropped BH recently, so just a suggestion: CM damage debuffs have never been quite right for PVE. Against a CL80 PC with a 3-4K ham, sure, they tick away. Against a 32K ham they are a complete waste of mind. Save your mind for your heals, you'll have to kill the guy with your weapon and duelist stance.

How does this make the game more fun for a Jedi?

They dropped the action costs for healing. It was not placed in live with Publish 24. They came to their senses.

without mrifles, I cant even dent this guy. I am just pissed that they made them nearly impossible to solo for a solo-by-design prof, just cause the multitudes of jedi ingame have complained that things arent hard enough for them.
That is not why they did it, sorry m8 but the 30K HAM BH missions were way way to easy before. That's on of the reasons I dropped BH. The npc's were just stupidly easy. They didn't change this for Jedi. If anything Jedi would PREFER you to take BH NPC missions rather that go after them. This just makes the game a challenge for a change.
Keep your eyes on the forums. I am sure plenty of strategies on how to take these guys down is on the way. Obviously, if you were CM'ing up your target and burning mind, you need them.
