You dont know the power of the CLICKY!
His crappy melee weapon was doing 750+ damage a pop to me and hitting much more often. I ended up kiting him so, he'd go back to his carbine which was doing 500+ damage. Still took 15minutes to kill him.

I've also noticed as a MBH, that some missions are titled "Something Something leader" or "Crime ring leader"
those always end up being boss marks
Gonna check this out. All my marks today are just standard level 81... 19k'ers. Loots are not good from them. The CA's and AA's stats are lower now.
Just tried a Gank Assasin Leader. Silver Chevrons. Level 82. 19k ham. he didn't fight back at all nor did he have any loot what so ever on him.
yeah i just tried it again today, and it was Silver Chevrons...maybe Pub 23 changed it?
i just bought 8k energy resist armor for these guys. though sometimes you get guys that will run up and use nothing but kinetic weapons. thats when i keep them rooted and run in circles. one day i will get my 5 suits of bh armor crafted for 8k kinetic resist for when they use this.
I've done 5+ 37k HAM bosses.I'm MBH/MCM/Pistoleer -13-. Start my IDS macro.Then fire/poison from 34m, close and attack speed debuff. Then I work through knockdown, advanced critical shot, bleed, incap(intimidate) and stun. I don'tuse buffs, my armor is only5900 energy resist and I have a pretty average featherweight fwg5 max dmg sliced. What I do haveto change is my clothes. I go from+25 healing efficiency to +30/30 ranged/melee defense.
It's slightly different for my MBH/MRifles/CM 2000 FS BH. I use IDS then do sniper shot, knockdown, advanced critical shot, bleed and that combo. I do have to get up and heal a few times. I should note this character actually has good gear. Rifle speed ca's, adk'd + dmgpup'd + min sac + max speed + 1114 dmg HLR.
I played around with MBH/MD/ some pistols and I could barely kill a white boss let alone a double gold. IMO damage output and debuffs are key.
I just use my knockdowns, some torso shot for the bleed, and critical shots for my attacks. With 2 heals, my own buff, and food buffs, they can't damage me fast enough. Not a problem.
