You wont need many buffs, i just use a 600+ and a 20% regen on all pools of my HAM. I use armor with a energy resist of 4500 and kinetic of 6.2. Nothing amazing. My gun is 500-1020 DMg (carbine) 500 DPS, 82 SAC. 1.71 speed. PUP'ed and unsliced. Nothing amazing.

Now i have CM 4xxx MBH Mcarbs. When i engage this guy i do KD, concussion shot and hit him with torso and critical. once he does 1000 dmg i heal for 1000 dmg and put on duelist stance so he hits for 200 instead of 350ish. I keep that steady until he dies.

if you dont have CM 4xxx or 3xxx, it will be ALOT harder

cc ty for advice so far...im using a prenerf Exceptional t21 at 1186 damage unpupped but its always pupped when i hit him...umm im always in my duelist stance and restart it before it drops so im always in that state....any suggestions for food to use? i know u said 20% to all pools but since CU im a noob again whos been playing for over 2 yrs now and i have to relearn everything


im over the 500dps i know that ive got a bad sac at 104 i believe....i start with a critical then kd then critical again then torso then alternate between critical and reg attack so i dont run out of action


again any advice is appreciated and ty to the guy who responded already

Booster blue and pixie. Both have 600+ and 20% recharge rate to all HAM pools.

The thing about these guys is they have waaaaaay more health then you, so you have to sacrafice a speedy kill for a slow but steady pound on them.

These guys aren't easy, but they aren't impossible either. I've only died to one and that's because I forgot I wasn't wearing any armor. I have the same template as the OP, except I have 0 medic skills. I start off with a conceal shot, then sniper shot, then kd/startle, stand up, put on duelist stance, then just alternate critical and headshot until he's dead. Every time the debuff from startle fades, hit him with another kd/startle and reapply duelist stance.


They key to this is effective use of ruby bliel and stim Ds. Just take a ruby bliel immediately after you use a stim, that way you can use another stim again as soon as you need it. With a little medic thrown in between there, you should do just fine.


Oh, just read a couple posts above too. When you say your rifle is always pup'd, do you mean damage or action cost? I never use anything but my action cost pup'd rifle for these guys. You want your action cost to be 60 or lower witht he pup, that way you never run out of action while spamming critical shot/headshot. And as to spice, you want booster blue because you're a medic. Neutron pixie reduces mind regen by 20%.

You don't mention stim D with ruby biel as backup along with larger heal chunks, 1100 plus for the good kind? Also, go prone and use sniper shot as well. Npc marks seem to miss me a lot more when i am prone.

cc let me first say ty very much for advice i had no clue about pixie or booster blue...is that ruby stuff a food im guessing?


and to the person with the pup comment yes im using damage not action i didnt even consider an action pup ty for that bud


the only thing screwing me on going prone is my mark is in mos eisley amongst the buildings but ill try again see if i can prone far enough away


yes i have stims d's post CU so they do heal for just over 1100 so thats 1 thing im doing right


my mind doesnt seem to be a factor but maybe thats cuz im not using the ruby stuff and using stims as often so ill take ur word on it


ok lastley this time my armor is orenerf its about 5k kinetic about 3.5k energy and about 4k base is that just not gonna cut it against these marks? i honestly dont know and would take any advice on what to use for armor


again i cant ty u guys enough for taking any of ur time to help my sry butt out

In addition to the advise listed above, be aware of your surroundings. Most of these marks will use AoE attacks from time to time. Just kite them to the nearest nest/lair and hope what pops out is over CL60.

Im MBH/MCM/pistol0004 and I completely own Boss marks. People dont realize how much extra DPS the dots add. I heard people saying thier boss fights last 20min? Maybe 5 maybe mabye 5


I am using a super nice Scatter mod dps is 580ish and capped speed.


Bottom line MCM rocks,



226k,214k,219k ,223k
,225k,221k ,226k,213k,225k,38k =(,196k, 221k,225k

Also you can use parwan (spelling*) cake to keep your burst run going. I've seen some 100% cakes out there that give you instant refresh on your burst run. Also use ranged arms to get an extra 10meters of distance. Then you can just kite them without getting hit very much.


Another tactic I have used is if there is a small pond (20m-30m across) swim through it and when he gets in the middle of the water just run alond the bank shooting him. He will be swimming while following you and you can get off some good shot there.

Something I would like to add to that is I have 7000 energy plus a 2300 PSG. These things allow me to take them down every time, and I'm a MBH/MP, not MCM. I would get owned without these things in the past, though.


I never run out of heals, but sometimes they drop my health too quick, so I have Stim Cs (hey, they work AND I save a credit or two). But like Checito said, you have to be slow but steady with them.


Another "trick" is if they kill you, their health locks in... I've been killed by them, simply to return with most their health gone allowing me to finish them off. Wounds/armor condition/blah blah, blah... yeah, that needs to be taken into account if you feel like letting them incap you three times; but I've got that bulldog mentality, so it works for me.
