How do I kill the Elite 31K HAM Bounties as they seem to just kill me off to quick before I can do enough dmg to them?
I am MBH/MR so should I be good enough to kill them, probably my skill aswel but looking for goodtips to help me out
Thanks in advance
With your template your in the same boat as I am, with little to no healing, my suggestion is to burn through the food.
Mando Wine, Ruby B. Synsteaks, +lots of Stim D's & Whatever BActa Shot you've got. Takes about 10 minutes to kill them. It's a loonnnnng slow fight. hehe. I prefer taking the elites as opposed to the Bosses.

are the double gold chevron boss missions signifigantly harder than the single bracket silver guys? i did a lvl 79 of them last night and it was a breeze...are the double gold chevrons doing like a ton more damage or something?
The one I had was much more difficult. He seemed to have 70-80% resists across the board. He we down "very" slowly. The first few minutes it seemed like his ham bar didn't move at all, but then very slowly it started dropping. Gotta keep the DOT's on them though.

i know the feeling . Since the new up grades I took my first over 30k bounty. Mind you I'm mbh/mr/crabineer 0300 and hardly did any damage to my mark, but it sure did it to me died three times trying to kill it. i can kill a level 83 creature with no problems , but not a mark that is around 75. Give me a brake once again i feel like we got _____ with another upgrade. Well heck i can run 4 creature missions and make more money easier than trying to take bounty hunter missions...who knows with the prices of armor now days might as well take up armorsmith.
/agree the boss mob BH missions are cost prohibitive for me, I wouldn't mind the time investment if the $ was worth it but the gold chevron Boss marks should be paying 50-60k to make it worth the food/armor/stims that get used up during a fight.

I had a 33k ham bounty today took about 30minand had to use my food macro i usually use just before i fight a jedi and lots of heals. fun fight
MSmuggler/ MBH/ Pistoleer 1001/ Novice Commando.
I got two of these Boss marks last night.
Not the easy guys with 10-20k ham. They were both 36k and they hit damn hard.
The first one was this chick who was hitting me with a T21 real hard so I ran up on her and she switched to a pistol. I KDd, Criticaled, Low blowed and bleed her but her HAM never seemed to go down. She incapped me a couple of times and I had to concuss and leave.
The next one was IN THE WATER. So I had a chance to get many shots in as he swam towards me, including my KD-critical combo but again, the HAM just never seemed to go down.
I had food- recon armor (both were using energy weapons)- spice- I was using tactics like ducking behind trees for LOS- I had stimm Ds with 1170 healing.
These guys were REALLY hard to beat. I would like to know how you all did it.
Be prepared:

First was a 36k HAM bounty with lvl 82. He took a good 10 mins to kill. I'm MBH, Master Pistols and 3xxx CM (with a 590 dps pistol). Laid every state down, KD, heal and even had to use a stim pack in the end as mind was so low. He dropped eventually and guess what he dropped a BH Helmet schematic!
Then next mission, lucky pick a 31k ham. He only dropped a belt schematic and I already had two of those! This guy strangely had a lower ham but managed to incap me twice. I noticed though that you don't loose mission with incap and he doesn't DB. So you can recoup and in that time he doesn't fully regain his health so you get to start on him with a slightly lower health.
I don't know how a non healing BH would manage these NPC missions, it's a close fight when you have healing, let alone without it!

While you may run across one that does under 100 damage to you per shot you'll also run against those doing over 300 damage per shot. It seems that the weapons they use vary greatly and range from NOOB weapons to UBER ones.
Yeah guess I should have checked the combat log, bet the second guy was doing much more damage. A 17k one with 600 dmg you can survive as the fight to get his 17k down should only take under 5 mins and your health should last that long... should!

Get MBH/MR/CM 4000 with a plus 17 healing efficiency shirt. Make sure you KD every 30 seconds followed by adv critial and torso. Oh, first make sure you take cover and sneak up and advance sniper right off the bat, then snare, KD, and critical. And most importantly dont forget to take your food.

Well, yeah..if I hadnt dropped my "Star Wars dream" template of MCommando/MBH/smug, to join the medic FOTM, in preparation of this patch..I would have been dead meat. Don't really feel like a "Master Bounty Hunter", when I spend more time sticking needles in my arm than actual shooting...
