Thread: 36k health NPC mark success!

i've been having trouble with these and have been asking for advice on these forums. i've been trying to give updates to my progress. as a refresher - i'm NOW an mbh/m-pistols/medic0020 (working on more).


last night i was doing npc missions again...and i tracked a mark to endor.

so i get buffed up, and travel to the north outpost to find out this guy is like 7.5km north - way way up in the mountains.


i send out a seeker, hop on my bike, put on the cruise control and start driving.


on the very top of the highest mountain i've ever seen in game is standing my mark- CL82 double gold chevs...

i check his health bar - 35900 health.


taking the MANY suggestions i've gotten from these forums i circle around to the other side of the mountain, store my bike, and get out my high armor, self healing, ranged attack probot and tell it to stay put. then i run around to the other side of the mountain, start my duelist macro, pop a blob candy, pop a wen wen, pop a synthsteak - knockdown.


bottom line is - now that i have medic 0020 with a BE'd +17 healing eff shirt, i took this guy easily. i never had to use a stimD one time. i was getting around 900 heals just with bactashot.


between the probot attacks, the duelist stance counter attacks, and the bleeds - the ticks really helped on damage over time. and, by keeping the NPC blinded and intimidated and stunned as much as possible i was able to keep his damage pretty low against me and my damage pretty high against him.


now the good part...i've been waiting on buying a rifle until i could get ahold of some of those new power cells to make a HLR - this boss dropped (6) +184 damage power cells. enough for a HLR and a new scatter pistol.


hurray for me! i think i'm cured of my uber boss npc thrashing blues.


thanks for the help everyone.

ah...by the way, i'm dropping my creature harvesting line (as needed) to move up to doctor. initially i was going to go medic 0340 to get the bactatoss/bactaspray to use the enhancers. but, i figure if i continue to add more healing efficiency by going up to 4000 doctor my bactashot/bactajab will be just as good or even better.


thoughts on this?

Nice one. I pulled a 36k ham boss the other night on Endor as well. My temp is: MBH, MCarb, CM 4000 ...and I use an elite carbine with stats of 430-1063 dmg, 1.25 modified speed, 55 SAC (with pup) and I tear through the bosses like butter. The foods I use are booster blue, blob candy, kanali wafers, pikatta pie, snow cakes (although dont really need this), and sythsteak. My attacks go like this:


Duelist stance
KD
Imp Leg shot
Adv. Crit
Torso (bleed)
Stun/Dizzy shot
Blind shot


By the time I am done with these, my duelist stance macro is ready to be hit again so I just rinse and repeat the attacks above. Works like a charm. I think the most a 36k ham boss hits me for is 200, but he misses me like 7 out of 10 hits usually because of my defense, pikatta pie (dodge bonuses), and the duelist stance. So normally throughout a boss fight I have to heal maybe 3 times or so. With snow cakes I can heal for about 1200 on regular bacta shot. I don't wear any BE +healing eff clothing either. I have a ranged and melee defense shirt instead. But I dont know i might change and grab a heal eff shirt instead that has 4 sockets on it. Not sure.


The loot I got off the last boss mark was a 5 stack of power cells (164 max dmg, -0.79 speed, -8 cost / a CA that I sold for8 mil / and a BH schem chestplate. Not too shabby.

Can I join the club? I got a 32k(approx) lvl 80 gold chevron boss last night. It was my first fight where I was actually somewhat prepared.


Anyway, my template is Master Smuggler/BH, no medic skills. My weapon is a speed sliced Featherweight FWG5. I used Vas Brandy, only one synthsteak as I was too busy panic'ing and a Nuetron Pixie for buffs. Had no Duelist Stance running as I forgot to make a macro. During the fight I had to hit my Stim D twice, and even still I resorted to using Last Ditch at the last second.


It was fun, and I got a delicate trigger for my troubles.

You gotta love last ditch. I've never been a smuggler before but I almost grinded it out JUST to get that skill. How much damage did yours do?

Aw, frack! I didn't check! If what I heard about Last Ditch is correct is should have been close to 18k(Max Health - Current Health * 6). Take into account armor and it was somewhere under 9k for sure. I'll have to start watching that from now on. All I know is I was relieved to have lived through the fight and had to focus on getting out of the area because of the Nightsister Rancors all around me.

Nice kill nonetheless. I heard that Last Ditch is unpredictable though...sometimes it sticks ..sometimes it doesn't which I guess was the main reason for why I didnt grind smuggler out. But I think if you get some accuracy CA's and drink some pyro ..that will bring up your accuracy way high for the last ditch shot kill.
