BTW, I keep seeing people say that they are hitting their marks for 1100-1200 points of damage per shot...how are you getting that kind of damage? I have several weapons with a max of 1100-1200 but these high level marks are all cl 81-83 vs. my cl 80, so my damage is factored down. I'm lucky if I get 1000 in one shot, most are lower since the majority of my attacks have a damage modifier lower than 1.

This is an EXCELLENT idea. It'd be okay to keep all the bosses the way they are (with the exception of nerfing the regen on the REAL tough ones a tiny tiny bit), as long as the payouts for the real tough ones are increased. And yes, let the difference be seen on the terminals between the targets.

I just had another double gold mark that was impossible to beat, and I think I may have stumbled onto something...if I'm right then it's a huge bug and the devs should be shot in the head for ever allowing it to go live in this condition.

The mark was a double gold, 36k health. Right from the instant I started fighting I noticed that my action and mind pools started dropping rapidly, this despite the fact that I had a full round of food and drink buffs...about +200 regen on both action and mind, plus booster blue on top of that. I wasn't even doing heals yet and my mind was dropping. I can't prove it but I'm starting to suspect that the mark's actions are being paid for with MY pools...that would explain not only why my pools were draining so rapidly but also why his never seem to vary at all.

I could be wrong of course but it certainly seems to fit what is going on. Frankly I'm not going to bother with taking those missions any longer, I'm only going to take missions that are listed as cl 75-78...the high-end mobs are badly broken and I'm not wasting any more time or money until the devs fix their mess. I took BH to have something to do solo when my guildies aren't on-line or busy with other things, there's no point in being a BH if I have to have a full group to do it.

Had a CL82 Gold mark (not sure if it was double gold---Ima newb at NPC BH missions) but it had gold bars on either side, one big and one small), abou 31K HAM.

Template: MBH/M.Carb/4000 CM

Weapon: E11 MarkIII, 533-986 (w/ pup) 2.92 Spd. 101 Sac.

Also used a CL30 droid, and had a friend (Master CM) healing me non-stop.

Used booster blue.

Applied bleed, spammed Crit. Shot, with Legshots in between, and still could not stay ahead of his regen.

i had a 33K HAM boss today. took about 5 minutes, but i killed him. i saw no difference in the loot drop either. and by difference i mean that it was a CL 77 boss, and not an 82. dropped a trigger, an AA (seems all i loot are heavy weapon mods) and some reinforced casings. After hearing all the horror stories about these superMOBs i decided to take the level 75 missions (payout 29K-ish) instead of the normal 30K payouts. significantly easier, and all of the looty goodness.

Pulled my first boss mark, CL82, 31k health. As I read this thread first, I used my pvp setup and put a speed pup on my rifle. As soon as I opened he ran to me and pulled a melee weapon out. He gave me quite a chase, he didn't seem to be bothered about the snare (might've been lag, but he was running all the time). I was shooting aprox.once per second with a damage capped HLR and by the time he killed me I barely got 1k of his health. As others suggested before me, only modify their regen a bit, I was actually overjoyed that they give you a hard time now, but not to the point that they're impossible to kill. Sure there are mobs in game which require groups to take down, but these are BH marks and I thought they said we're supposed to solo them ... Granted that I was doing an average of 700 damage to him, I shudder to think about pistoleers for example.

Not really a bounty but i took on an Exempler thing in Kashyyyk it was lev 39 same as i and i was barely denting the guy. I killed him once out of 10 times. Mind you I am Novice BH 1xxx, Commando 2322, Novice CM, and Smuggler x211 and still had problems with the thing lol...
