Ive had 3 lvl 81 double golds, completed with not too much more difficulty than normal, I think this is because of my template, Melee, Im not running around, I sit toe to toe with the boss mark and slug it out. I have my droid out to keep on top of regen. I keep them KD and armour broke, I keep my CoB up - which I believe is 2x as powerfull as duelist, sometimes I stack duelist and CoB. They can root all they like it makes no oddsas we are both standing still maybe the lvl 82's are more difficult. But at the moment lvl 81 double golds are a push over for TKM \ MBH, If you wanted to make them tougher make them root then run 10m then start attacking, now that would be scary for melee players. but otherwise rooting from 3m when they are stood still, is just plain funny. Heck the AI on these guys puts them in a nice permaroot for melee players anyway. If normal ranged players just stood there for melee guys PVP would be nice and easy.

Will report back when Ive found a lvl 82 double gold.

Watching the video I'd definetely say its my template making these guys easy, My knuckles work at a speed of 1.2 so I get lots of hits in fast - that keeps on top of the regen nicely, the droid makes all the difference, I stand still so Im not losing accuracy and missing a lot I hit near enough every shot, I noticed you are missing a fair bit there. My Cob and duelist mean they miss a lot, the damage numbers you are seeing are not so far off what I was getting, but I was putting a lot more hits on them than they were able to score on me.

Keep running missions, you'll get a god-mark eventually. I took down 3-4 easy as pie marks before I ran into my uber-boss. Good luck doing it with CH pets... lol.

While npc ai might need some tweaking, watching the video and checking your stats, there's a lot to improve:

- Food. How could you ingage a high level mark with only two food in your stomach?? Never heard about thundercloud, crispic, pikatta-pie, Vayerbock,... and I miss a few. Not to mention smuggler spice.

For the 50th time, I admitted that I needed more food. It still does not matter in my case. All the food in the world would not help me. Pre-24, I could waste these guy w/o any food and w/o any armor with one hand tied behind my back.

- Sorry to say that, but your armor suxx. Get yourself a higher energy armor 7000+ or even 8000.

Yes, you have you opinion. In my opinion, I have some good armor.

I have 7500 against ranged energy (with PSG) and 7500 against Kinetic.

7500 Rated armor is 54.75% dmg reduction. 10000 rated armor is 60% dmg reduction. My armor doesn't suck nearly as much as your research.

- I never was a BH, but I guess you could receive doc buffs before going to your mark.

Never a BH, eh? You don't see me trolling the Chef forum telling you that you need to learn how to reduce stomach fill on Mando Wine, do you? Stay outaway fromposting in forums you have no business in.

Again...Pre-24, I could waste these guy w/o any food and w/o any armor with one hand tied behind my back. I'm up for a challenge but this is above and beyond anything soloable

Thats fun when you know you can kill a lvl 82 boss w/o armor or food with one hand tied behind your back. makes you feel like you deserve the good loot we hava a CHANCE(as in not guaranteed)of getting

- duelist stance is a life safer, use it much much more often.

Again, hard to use when you are healing and on the move all the time.It's a nice skill, impossible to use in this situation trying to avoid melee. Imagine trying to run from a BH and having to stop for Aura to zipbar up every time... oh god... that'll prolly be the next Jedi nerf.

Knockdown and snare works for getting out of melee range and when they are imune to snares burst run.

You know although I feel for the original poster. And am sure I will bepissed as well when i run into one of these...in the end I agree with the changes, there has to be some losses as well when doing npc marks. Prior to this patch I never worried about death to any mark, it was just a matter ofhow many I would have to roll over before I get lucky with a good tape drop.

I am: MBM/MCM/Pistols 0004. I just got my first 35k HAM Boss mark since the patch came through. The fight was very much longer than one ever would have went before publish 24, but I did come out with the victory. If you allow them to close on you and armorbreak, though, it seems to me the best thing to do is stay as far away as possible until it wears off first, and worry about dealing damage second. Since I don't have enough ADKs for it, I am very reluctant to use my AB sliced RIS on these guys, just using standard Marauder.

That said, these are definately a great deal more difficult than they ever were before, and I can see being sent to the cloner by one one of these days. I'm not sure what the loot tables look like, if they're any different at all, but I will say that I got 5 reinforced casings for the effort this time.

My technic is fine. I need to completely change my template and it probably still wouldn't help. I don't think you can kill these things without some medic if not doctor or cm.

I wouldnt do anything in this game without healing or at least some little bit of medic. I just killed a double goldboss mark on my lunch break. His ham was 34600K and he used a pistol. knocked me down like 5 times, snared me the whole time, rooted me about 4 times. I used a FWG5 speed pupped, droped Pyro, and fire dotted him. I healed like 25 times. 15 minutes flat, still got to eat my burger. I finding out as a pistoleer its good to dodge allot!

I AM TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN! YOUR JUST AN APPETIZER!

that is really weird cause i have a boss mark a little while ago, and it was the exact same NPC to the T same close every thing...

and i had the same problems, mine was lvl 75 elite boss, i could not kill him ,i ended up aborting the mission,

i was fully buffed, and using all the food i can, i was using a duelist macro but it just seemed to be in the way, my armor is BH assualt

5k+ kinetic 4k+ energy 5500 base, my gun is fwg5 adk 422 base dps, 1.21 speed puped, 15pistol accuracy, 60 bonus, 69 sac, i got him down to 1/3 of his health but he was just regening to fast. and it seemed that some of my shots didnt even register, no hit no miss, nothing it just didnt show up.

any ways i hope they fix this.

I felt I had to comment on this.

This issue has been ingame for about 6-10 weeks now. It's been listed althoug due to the current developement studios ineptness they have further expanded upon this bug. There's been many instances where hit's would register, via animation, although no dmg calculations would take place. This has been VERY common for me and my main character, Jedi.

Some attacks appear worse then others although I would asssume it's a coincidence based upon my standard procedure of engagement.

On an additional note, there's been many issue with CM DoTs lately. After the latest fix to these DoTs there had been codding implemented which inadvertantly caused the "no register" bug to be applied to DoTs and now HEALS! At times I can heal myself and watch the HAM adjust according to the heal and associated costs while even seening the sys spam....although there's no message in the Combat log!! When this happens there's usually an instance where my health will drop from 4500+ to zero in about two seconds as if the server adjusts the HAM to reflect what it should be as if the heals were not applied.

This game is more wrecked then you could imagine.

Ya know...

I never noticed this...

I havn't read thru the entire posts..several pages now.. but I just thought I would share a couple of the things that I have that seem to help (maybe I'm restateing things and I appologize if I am)

• I use assualt armor with max kin protection


• I compensate for this by having a PSG with max energy protection (I keep a crate of these handy as they take alot of dmg) Will ADK an Imp one eventualy)


• I've found that a well made Lightning Cannon is AWSOME, it may not quite have the DPS as a fast pistol or carbine, but does awsome dmg and a decent range which is really handy against those pesky carbine NPC's that knock you down with perfect timeing lol


• A mix of CM and Medic and USE WELL CRAFTED STIMS the heals are sooo much better and sometimes you need to spam 2 or 3 different heals if they manage to land 2 or 3 good hits on you simultainiously


• With all the healing that is needed at times some food/drink with really good Mind regen is a must, the Mind regens alot slower then action


• Patience, some fights I've had easily go on for more then 10-20minutes, just keep chipping away at them, keep your distance...change weapons (have different dmg types of weapons and see which ones land more dmg on the target)

Again I'm sorry if these have been overstated, but maybe these tips will help a few people reading thru the posts
