2) You have to use DoTs
- Their regen is just too fast - you have to have something that will slow it down. Even MCM DoTs won't keep them from regenerating health, but if I didn't use them, I'd never win
Traal, I appreciate your advice but the level 82 gold 32k health that I have a mission on seems to have almost total resistance to specials & DOTs. When in combat I barely am able to stick a KD or Snare or Bleed on him. When i do manage to stick a KD he gets up instantly. Snare had little effect and Bleed lasts only a few seconds. I might as well forget my other DOTs and Specials because they never stick. Do others have this problem?
I guess it's possible that this is an accuracy issue and next time I try (I still have his mission) i'll see if accuracy food makes a difference.
hmmm
My template is mbh/mrifle/4000cm.
I use 7k energy tantel unslicedwith 2 ranged arms. ALR with around 350dps, nothing godlike.
I run out to 81m, /prone /cover.
Then I crawl toward the target til my range changes to 80. I'd guess I'm actually like 80.4m away.

i watched a mcm/mbh try to take out a 33k health mark while i healed him. he was using a scatter pistol and spent about 10-15min or longer trying ot take it out. it was sad he had to run away because the things health regain is out of wack. even with me healing him the thing was tearing him apart and regaining healthfaster than he could dish it out.they are next to impossable to kill. Even if you do manage to kill one you can kiss your armor and weapongoodbye because it takes so long to bring them down.
Hate to say it, but a 33k is (relatively) easy, especially compared to the 36k marks. The ones under 34k don't really measure up... just a warning for your friend.

Did ya'll forget to depress your "I WIN" button??
Oh, yeah... forgot that. Now I know what these guys have been so tough. Someone told me once the "I win" button was labeled "Power." Guess I'll try pushing it next time I'm knee-deep in poodoo with these guys.

There seems to be a few different flavors of boss marks. I have had some that did very little damage but still had great regen. I have also had the kind that hit hard and regen fast.
One thing that saved me on the hard hitting ones was to put my back up against a creature lair. The boss marks often use area attacks and wind up agroing the creatures near me. The creaturesthen ack as tanks.

Hey, a blue name!
/wave
I've used this tactic a couple times. Once the guy aggroed about 8 lvl 50 mobs, but brushed them off like they were nothing... of course, he didn't even mess with them until after he pounded my corpse into mush
This is a really good point, too... naturally you'll want to use every trick in the book against these beasts. Bringing in NPC back-up is fair game in my book!
