I dont care what anyone else thinks.
Boss marks are tough to kill. Even with healing I can't seem to do enough damage to them because their FKN health regens too fast. I am a master carbineer/ master BH so I thought I would be pretty good against them but I guesssomeone got a little excited when theycreated them, (tee-hee this will be funny, hes got 30K health and I disguised him as a level 81)
The stink of it is that not everyone want to waste time on BS boss missions that drop the same loot as the rest of the easy missions, you know the level 81 guys with the 7k health. Right now this new "boss" thing just makes my blood boil. Devs, if you are reading this and taking me seriously, isolate the boss missions and file them to a spot where those who wish to take them on, IE all the people who think I am weak because I cant solo a boss mark, so I can stop wasting my time onaborting missions I can not win. I apologize if I can not see the logic of these "boss" marks, this would be great for groups (if you could pull them on demand, and IF they dropped better loot) You see, you just dont get more bang for the buck. Essentially you get hosed. I vote thumbs down on this "boss" mark thing. File them somewhere, anywhere, just get them away from the NORMAL level 80 missions. BTW if ANYTHING needs to be done with the boss marks the payout needs to be boosted. They are the biggest ripoff, I mean who actually wants to get a measly 30K for killing one of these SWG obcenities?

I've fought a couple with about the same template and had no real trouble.
I have medic 0400 and novice rifleman with the MCarb/MBH. I was using a nice E11Mk2 and ended up healing myself using a bacta spray enhancer every 2nd shot or so and used 2 Stim-D's. If you don't have at least some medic and Stim-D's you are going to die. Since we have to do it alone, we need to dabble in medic to stay alive.
Also use defensive stance and if you can get a decent combat droid it will help to keep the pressure on him while you are healing.

Boss marks only take me about 5 minutes... where as the others take bout 1-2 minutes.
Not sure what you are doing. I use pixie and a couple of stims, but that's it.

For the Bounty Hunters with all the best equipment Boss marks seem to be easy, for the rest of us (myself included) I find that I have to use some smarts to beat them. The best way I have found is to use the spawns that are in most cases around the mark. I position myself in the line of fire so that when the mark uses a AOE attack it hits the lair and agro's the mobs. Most of the time the mark keeps hitting me and ignores the mobs around him. What this does in practical terms is cut down his very fast regen, even though in most cases the mobs hit him for little damage it seems to really hurtthe regen rate.
And of course use foods and drinks to help you

Spam torso shot. It'll really mess up the health regen rate.

I agree with you as far as bang for your buck and soloingis concerned...With my template I don't have any medic anymore but at least try to solo with food, drink, spice first, if that fails then I call in alittle calvery...a mm or md from the guild I am in. I usually pay at least 1/2 my marks payout but keep the loot plus the other 1/2 of the credit and walk away a winner.

I really would like to use some food to help out, but I can't find ant chef vendors that stock ranged defense food, probably due to a crippled economy(maybe all the chefs gave it up for jedi since everyone wants to be a jedi nowdays).I like the torso shot spam idea but how well does it stack the bleeding? My main point here is not how can I beat these guys but a call to the devs to put them elsewhere. They have no buisiness peppered in with the normal missions like firecrackers. I admit, I have beaten a couple of them b4 probably by accident. But we need a hotfix to identify these missions from the rest so bounty hunting won't be such a drag. BTW the loot drops r all wrong, and I think they know that, or at least I hope they know that by now.

It stacks well. The DOT from the bleeding is just about the regen rate, in my experience. I think that may be intentional.
