Thread: Good luck soloing any of the high lvl mobs now.

With the new npc AI and difficulty, I wonder if this means that the loot tables were adjusted?
There was talk of loot tables being adjusted in the near future. SOE i bet is going to wait and see how all the new changes plays out. I doubt the loottables will change at all...least until the next pub with the heal changes / cloak rebalance are done as well.
Jedi still are using cloak to roam around the high level areas with impunity cracking open chests and what not, lol

Well congratulations to you guys I am a MBH/MCH and tried to take a boss mark out an hour ago and now realize for me this is impossible. Its not the specials and its not the cunning of the mark. They also have had their regen jacked up to the point that if you are a tank of anyform they are not going to go down for you period.
If you are a MBH/MCH do not even bother attacking boss marks you aint got a snowballs chance in hell. You will not do enough damage to slog him or her down. They regen for like 500 points of damage and your pet adds up to 0 gain.
Next time I feel like grinding investigation I'll give one a go. For now, I'd rather hump a bantha than follow those stupid droids around at III and IV.

I was a Master Smuggler twice, the last time for over a year. I finally got fed up with waiting for a "revamp" and the supposed underwhelming content that they are supposed to get.
My friend says BH is still fun. I was a MBH back in the day, so I thought about it for a good month. I finally decided to go back to MBH so I could run some bounties, have actual solo content, and maybe get some loot. I burn my respec token I have been holding on to for months.
Last night, I am all excited to run some bounties. Ahazi goes down.
I am excited to run some bounties tonight. Now I hear the solo content I was looking forward to participating in is damn near impossible.
Now, if my track record with the SOE developers holds true, a better and more wonderful Smuggler Revamp will be announced shortly.
Well, woot. I guess I will just go shoot nunas with my proton carbine.

Most of them are going to be very very hard even for good player groups and impossable to do alone.Necrosis is now useing choke and lightning and hits way harder than any real player powers jedi. He has turned into instant death now that he is ranged. Krayts now are 1 hit incappers and so are many other high lvl stuff.Kind of looks like being forced to be in a group has taken another step to removing anyone who wants to play alone.Also seems even some of the grinding mobs are hitting with diff attacks and also are much harder to kill.There was a few of us online who logged in diff spots so we could check the NPC changes.
but wait, when they first started talking about the ai change, they said we would get exciting new loot to make up for the increased length / damage from a fight. the new cool loot is dropping, right?
just another nerf. everything npc got harder, we stayed the same.

Good $&%$ing luck on MBH gold marks... me and my probot hammered on for 15 minutes until my mind and stims ran out... barely a scratch with a spec bola carb and the mark takes 1/4-1/3 of my health each hit.....
I warned about this veryscenarioin the ToW beta forums. It appears development didnt care or listen.

I am MCM/MBH, literally impossible to take down a gold mark - PERIOD - I was fully buffed and fooded, didnt even get him 5k down from 38k, and he regens like I hit stims, but he does it every 2 seconds, me = 30 secs. I dont care how good you are at mcm, there is no way in hell that one of these can be taken down. way to go devs! make the game a smidge harder for the jedi and impossible for everyone else that doenst have the time to grind 14 hours a day.
And about being grouped, I like grouping, its fun... but BH is a solo profession. high lvl mobs like nec should not be soloable, but ALL BH marks need to be, or the whole point of it is wasted. There are certain things in the game that should not be soloabloe, and somethings that NEED to be soloable
They are not impossible I had a double gold as my first mark with 36k health.Yes they regen like crazy and they never lose action or mind which is BS.
I did however defeat him after 15 minutes.The bad part was I got smuggler loot and the all famous jar of foraged bugs.Your best friend is mando wine and thyroid burst and use your fire and poisons to negate half their healing.
Hard but not impossible.Just wasnt worth the time spent killing it.
I think half the posters here have not fought a true boss yet so are actually talking out of hand. This in not merely a hard fight its an insanely hard fight most likely impossible for many. I am one of the many who simply cannot do this. I am a tank I rely on just slowly but surely beating my opponent down. My fights are always long affairs. Compared to these guys with the nature of my template MBH/MCH I simply cannot damage my enemy he regens for 500 health every second my pet cant match that. My mods are correspondingly weaker. So If I burst into full offense the mark turns to attack me with a vigor that wont stop and I get torn to shreads.
These are not the bosses you guys faced yesterday they are a totally new ballgame thats obviously designed for multiple players to take. They have sick regen buffed armor supperior AI no action costs no mind costs have the standared 30plus k ham. In a nutshell they are god awful to face.
If there is someone out there haveing a blast with this there are 19 others getting ticked off like me. I should not be barred from my professions content. Content that is supposed to be soloable. I understand the desire for truely heinous enemies for the guys that are just maxed out not all players are maxed out.
Do not get me wrong the lower bounties are great and challengeing and their smart. The new boss marks are overdone way too strong for most MBH to do solo.
