I did 2 missions last night after work and BOTH where "Boss" spawns with 35-36k HAM and double gold brackets. The first one was very tough mainly because I didnt know what to expect. The 2nd one actually was tougher due to it actually using lots of special attacks but using terrain to my advantage (to heal up etc) he died easier than the previous one.

I did one mission and I am pretty sure it was a boss. It incapped me once and after that I beat it with like 10 health to spare. Good thing it was worth my while since I got a ub3r 733t jar of foraged bugs.

i think the random difficulty is nice. as far as i can tell there are 3 types of missions

type1: easy npc's that are like lvl 81, have around 8k health and go down easy

type2: lvl 81 or 82 with 17-20k health. bit of a fight, but should be easy-i'd call these the elite missions

type3:lvl 82 with 36k or so health. fairly tough but should be able to kill them.-bosses

just pick up a little bit of medic or something and wear armor and they should all die with out too much trouble






type one and two are simple for me.... type 3 i guess i'm gonna have to drop something... not that i've got anything to drop... i'm master pistols and master bh and i've got like one tree in rifle... i guess i can drop that, but what would i add as CM?

I'm a MBH/MR/Pistoleer stopping shot.

1st mission I took was easy, single silver chevron, lvl81, the guy basicly just laid down and took it for 10 secs before I killed him...it went down hill from there.

2nd mission I got a double gold chevron boss lvl 82 38k ham and he incapped me 6 times before I figured I'd go get my good armour.

I got a laser rifle damage capped, and a scatter damage capped...and he was handing my ass to me repeatedly, I was even having to wait around for my drink fill (ruby bliel) to drop to 0, but I suppose that saved me a trip to the cloner...I managed to get him down to 1100 health, and he incapped me the last time

I'll have to go back later tonight and try again...

Well, you really need some sort of healing to take these guys on. I use my grinding armor and they hit for around 100-300 depending. Onelevel 82 boss hit me for300 damage in range, and when Iclosed in to useshock he started using his lance, which hit for around 400 damage. But with healing it's not hard.


Eh, why are some people using Trauma andHemmorhageon NPC's? They dont use mind or action, you're wasting time and energy. If you're MCM/MBH and cant kill these things you need to rethink your strategies, because I am MCM/MBH. Ive been running missions non-stop, went through a stretch where I had 6 elites in a row, countless bosses, etc. I've gone through 17 Arakyd Probots since the patch, and have yet to had any problems with these marks.


Jedi's are 10x times smarter, tougher, strongerthen these marks. If you have problems with these things how are you all faring in real fights? Maybe it's time to take a good look at your builds, and the way you play?

i don't know you template but the NPC bountys are not to hard.

as a MBH/MMarksman/MPistoleer/0110 carbineer i killed many marks yesterday, even someone with over 30k ham.
and this without food and only 600er d stims in my backpack, tough fights but funny .

all you need is:

a good weapon - i've got some of the best crafted stuff on my server...
a complete armor - i've got a set of the best armor on my server
duelist stances all the time - i've noticed that there is no difference between the damage i take with it on OR off
intimitate shot (if you have) - i've noticed that this does about a 5% reduction in his damage to me, pointless
and the knowledge how to play your char







my weapon:
scatter with 445-990 damage and a mod. speed about 1.2x
with a damage pu this weapon really hurts (+33,5% damage and only -8.x% speed)
my armor:
full set composite with 7150 kinetic and 5200 energy
+ an old ADK'd PSG with 19xx energy protection

use your stims early, don't waste your action with root or snare moves.
use sometimes a steak for damage reduction.

duelist stance and intimitate shot works good, without i would loose.
