We're complaining about the lack of a challenge...make the NPC as hard as a player jedi.
Then only the FOTMS with at least CM 4-0-0-0 are able to accomplish it. I refuse to go FOTM andi don't even do Jedi missions anymore because of it. Now the FOTMs demand that the whole game is constructed around them? Nah, if you want a challenge then skill some serious template and no part time BH who is helping out in a hospital after work.
/agree cut this FOTM rubbish please SOE and that includes Jedi templates too. My BH has to reply on Stims and these marks are stupid, I can't keep up with the healing and as full templated Jedi with 0 and 20 defences, hell I run everytime just can't be bothered to stay and fight no point and when I win what do I get PVP points whoopie do dar and if the BH dies another will take his place. FR3 and away, why waste my time on PVP pointsor lack off!

These things are ridiculously easy. I fought one earlier and it was level 82, 35k ham, double chevron ... and it hit me for 175 damage each time. I killed it while I was AFK answering the phone. Ridiculous.
Hmmm, it is either changed or you got lucky.
The ones I have encountered hit me for more than 500+ at a time, KD at every opportunity, and also seem to regen fairly fast. It takes me a lot more than a few minutes to kill one, and I have to concentrate on the fight.

As with most of the content in this game, these marks are extremely easy for a MBH/MCM template.
also, they damage they do depends on the weapon they use. I notice all the marks that use pistols only use the states attack, which do roughly 30 damage before armor. The rifleman marks are decent, and the carbineers are annoying with them spamming charge shot.

Tanks mentioned KD. I had one mark KD me 10 or 12 times during the fight. Double-gold chevron.
Also, I though the boss marks were supposed to be rare. So far, about half my marks have had chevrons of some sort.
I think "BOOS" marks are supposed to be rare and they ARE rare, "elite" ones are slightly more common, I say I get an elite every 2 out of 5 missions, and a boos 1 out of every 8 or so. I got so many 7K+ marks.

Having fought several of the Boss NPC's yesterday, and today, I can say there are good ones out there. One in particular gave me quite a run for my money. After these experiences, I think the high level jobs are just fine. I retract my statement to make them more difficult. Some of them are quite a challenge. (30 minute fight...LOL)
Grrr youve beaten my record of 20 mins, though i did have to last ditch the guy before he could kill me.

Well, I think there is a "bug" (go figure). Very similar to the Turret Damage bug, but instead of no damage there is very minimal damage. I had one Boss that was hitting me for 500 damage a shot. I had another Boss that was hitting me for 1 damage.
The damage they do seems to be bugged. Not sure why or how, but that is what I have noticed. I've run over 100 of these (yes, I've been spending a lot of time running them these past few days!) and I've seen this happen about 5 - 6 times on the Boss's.
I am also noticing that Iam getting the same loot off the normal marks that I am off the Boss, is this a Bug too? I was under the impression that the Boss would be the only one droppig theloot.

You cannot NERF the NPC based on the FoTM template.
I am sure the CM nerf is in the works, so let's wait for that before they make theNPC'sharder.

If they are to easy for a CM but a good fight for non healer templates i suppose it's not the marks that should be harder but the CM or other healing templates get a nerf so they have a challange again. I without any healing in my template have a good fight against +30K HAM marks.

Btw. why do ppl. get easymodetemplates and then complain the content is not challenging enough?

Instead ofincreasing the boss npc's which these cm's are taking out easily prehaps cm should get hit with the nerf bat so these guys can have a challenge again.
