Thread: 36k health mark take 2 pwn3d again
Find the nearest bunch of NPCs/Creatures to your mark - take note of their direction. Agro the mark and then run like hell towards those mobs. The higher level they are the better, and if there's a whole bunch of them, then that's perfect.
Kite the mark into these mobs and wait for the inevitable area attack - then watch as everything decides that this carbine waving 36k HAM pain in the butt deserves to come to a rapid end.
Killed at least three this way when the going has got tough.
Hope that helps.

I really don't understand what you guys are doing. I have NO HEALING, but I use Stim Ds and Ruby B. But to be honest, I don't use any foods or stims unless it's a 36k Gold mark. And then I only use a stim or two.
The only thing I can think of is that I have 100 million in my equipment. I don't think this holds true to much though, cause I take them in my kinectic BH Armor sometimes.... just for the heck of it.
This is what I do. I use Duelist Stance. Never let it die. I wear a PSG. I use knockdown to get the damage modifier on the next hit. I stack them up blind, dizy and stun. Blind keeps them from hitting you for max damage. Stun let's you do more damage to them.
I am using my proton carbine, sliced for damage with SAC PUPS. Do NOT use speed pups. You'll run out of action and waste tons of regen foods.
I hope this helps a little. If you really want to... I'll frap a recording the next time I find a boss mark.
i think the difference is the carbine versus pistols - here's what i use...
full buffs, blob candy, canape, synthsteak, ranged accuracy foods
i copied a pretty good duelist stance macro from these forums, and ran it all weekend
7k energy/5k kinetic - ubese
no psg (i use a belt with +10 pistol speed/accuracy - think i should ditch it in favor of a psg?)
a 570 modified dps scatter, p/u'd to a 58 SAC (the ONLY reason i use this gun is for the low SAC)
i start off with a knockdown, critshot/torsoshot combo to get max damage, then i throw on an intimidate, stun/dizzy....then i critshot/torso shot until my action gets low (which it does with the crit/torso shot combo).
my drink meter is empty at this point, and i'll just basically stand toe to toe using stimD/ruby/stimD until i'm full - then i am pretty much dead.

i was getting NAILED for 750 points of damage when i got hit - that's like 1/4 of my health. 2-3 hits in a row like that and i need to use a stimD or two just to keep fighting.because i'm pistols - i get real close hoping to decrease the accuracy of the NPCs who are typically carbineers. doesn't seem to work.i think i just need to get a high speed laser rifle or lightning rifle and stay out of range.
yeah.. definately use the PSG.
i'll use a PSG -
i DO use synthsteak (see above) -
i'll try a combat droid.

How do you do against player Jedi? Do these tactics work against player Jedi?
I suspect the answer to second question is no, treat these the same way you would a player Jedi and you will find they go down easier than the n00best of Padis.

yikes they are hitting you for that high?
I have 7K ubese and a 1920 PSG and I only get hit for MAYBE 200-250 from Boss Marks... took on 5 of them this weekend.
are you sure your armor is 7K?
What he said, if you have 7k armor and are using steak there is no way your getting hit that hard..unless your level 60 something fighing level 82. Maybe your armor is broken..check the condition. With armor(7k energy) and PSG at level 80 most I ever got hit for was 200 points.
