I can confirm that the Enhanced Cells only drop from Double Elite (30k+) Marks, have done over 500 Missions and gotten 4 sets from them ...

Mmm I'm going to have to call BS here.
Normal BH missions take anywhere from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. Some can last as long as 40 minutes, Dathomir, Endor, and Yavin for example. For argument sake let's say you can do 5 in an hour, although realistically it's closer to 3 or 4. That'sstill 100 hours of BH missions. If you do 8 hours of BH missions everyday it would take you close to 13 days. Publish 5 came out on the 5th of august... so not even13 days yet...
......so either you are a flithy stinking liar! or you're really crazy!
Anyway back to the topic. I've gotten 3 sets from these missions. +161, +181, and another which I dont remember, maybe +190. The +181 powercells was not from a boss or an elite. I've also gotten around 3 or 4 sets of Casings also.
I haventfinished 500 missions yet, but I think I'm closing in on 200ish now.

i've never gotten any of those power cells things yet but after 150-200 missions i'm seeing a somewhat of a pattern for loot drops for me. the majority of the loot drops for me go something like this.
Gold Chevron Mark: smuggler tools (since i haven't gotten anything else from them, this is probably the ones that drop the power cell things)
Silver Chevron Mark: BH Armor Schemes/Smuggler Tools
Plain/Regular Mark: CA/AA/Smuggler Tools
That is how the majority of the loot drops go for me. i've had about 10-15 gold chevron marks; 70-80 silver chevron marks, 90-100 plain/regular marks.

double gold cehvrons round his name when targetted and circa 35k HAM, often now hitting big damage and armour breaking you a lot as well!

Elite and boss marks have coloured arrows either side of their ham bars. Elites have silver arrows pointing out while the boss marks have gold. Basically they are the same cl but with greatly increased ham (as much as 40k from what i have seen).

They are tricky to fight especially when you can run out of mind fast from healing if you dont have good food. Use your states and keep them applied also keep stance on yourself.

Haven't had any problems with boss marks when it comes to winning, just shoot and heal, same as for the elites heh. However, I've had serious problems getting the states to stick, especially the stun/dizzy from confusion shot. Think ONE state sticks maybe 5-10% of the times, otherwise it's just +resisted+ +resisted+.
Is it really worth wasting attacks on confusion shot?

Since Pub 22, I have not gotten anything less than an elite mark on every single mission. And I've easily done 100+ missions. I've had days where I'll get 6 Boss marks, and days where I won't get any. They're out there. You're just having an extremely bad run of luck, like apparently I am with loot. hehe.
