Thread: 60-70 missions since thursday 1 boss mark
I've been at this for the past week. I'm new to these missions, because I just returned to SWG after 10 months away.
Anyway..... how the heck do you kill these boss marks? I've done at least 50 missions and haven't really had any issues with any except that one boss mark I got. He was hitting me for 650ish per, knockingme down left and right, and he had a crazy health regen.
I was healing so much that it became obvious that i would run out of mana long before I could even think of killing him, so I gave up.
Any advice?

My first mission this morning after logging in was my second elite ever (as I said above I was unable to kill my first).
This time I was a little more prepared, having brandy and Ahrisa to aid me a bit. There were a few level 60ish NPC's in the area, so I initially went between them all when I started the attack, in hopes that he would usean areaattack and they would join the battle with me. It worked until he was about 2/3 dead, when the npc's just stopped attacking him suddenly. He got me and slayed me, so I quickly made my way back. He hadn't despawned thankfully and was back up to half life. For some reason it wouldn't let me attack him, so I figured oh great now he's bugged. But I got up close and attacked again and it worked. He switched to melee and I realized I could handle him solo with him melee, and went on to kill him.
On his corpse was a BH armor schematic, the usual smuggler piece, and an AA that is carbine +12 speed and +18 one handed melee defense.
One question. Does the food/drink that adds 90 ranged defense help with these elite marks?
Yes.

I did around 10-15 last night and all were at least silver boss marks. Had a couple golds.
I did 3 missions last night. All were bosses.
2 silver chevrons, and 1 gold.
MBH / MPist / Medic 0030 / 24 pts FS
3 npc missions in two days, 2 boss, 1 elite
Elite - IBC (slice component)
Boss1 - nothing (and I have luck 4... what a waste)
Boss2 - CA +14 music fatigue healing (not in use anymore), piece of heavy duty leather
SOE got it perfect, BH's wanted to nerf themselfves because low investigation levels were getting decent loot....
Not the Dev's fault, its the communities.

Silver's are elites, not boss marks. let's clear that up first before we start posting about getting "all" boss marks.
Every MBH gets elites. that's as close as any MBH will come to getting a "regular" mark.
Boss marks do drop better loot. At least if they are 30k+ health. I have only had 2 boss marks with above 30k (34k I think) and those two are the only one that had dropped any reinforced casing/power cells. Have not got any other weapon components other than scopes from other NPCs.
Question is if there is any way to find out when you take a mission if there is a higher probabilty for a boss. But I think it is randomly selected when they spawn.
They haven;t nerfed BH loot (at least for my brothers MBH they haven't). It seems they may have fixed marks staying still, mine seem to be on the move a lot more now.
I got power cells and reinforced casing two days ago.
Don't listen to people who say boss mobs just drop bugs.
