I just drew a bounty mission for a double gold boss on tattooine I go out to meet him, and precede to fight at first I use my sheermite soldier I am fully buffed. I am gonna let me soldier build up some appropriate hate. I notice something the mark is not loseing any health at all. I tab over and oh great with each hit my sheermite does it pops right back up to 35200 health damn. Well I like the armor on this guy and he can take a pounding, but he just cant do the damage. So I call for a strategic retreat to no avail the mark generates insane aggro and my pet will not pull off of him no matter what not that it aint trying its little buggy heart out. I have to watch helplessly as my soldier has to go down and lose two vitality. Okay I am annoyed that is not fair my sheermite might take a long time on most marks but he does work them down over time.

Next strategy pull out my kimo he hits much harder my sheermite was hitting for 169 this guy with imperilling feint hits for 210 damage. Go at the mark again. Oh what a surprise no damage at all. This guy has got to be regening like 300 damage a second. So I put myself into the battle. Not that both times his first move is to shoot me. I start fireing away and I do 800 dps my gun aint great at the moment. Bam bam bam. There his bar went down a little okay sit back let my pet work on him. 5 seconds later he is back to full health **edit**. Needless to say I know that even though the marks are hitting for less which is nice they cannot be taken down by a mbh/mch. They regen far too fast. I pop in enough to keep the drain going and I get aggroed and torn to peices. Needless to say I run and watch helplessly as my kimo takes a 2 point vitality loss.

Sigh I thought the devs said they were improveing the AI in their minds that must mean cheapen it up, as it now stands I am barred from doing bounty boss marks because MCH pets are totally underpowered or the marks have ridiculous regen. Which I am guessing is at 500 points. I am not complaining about hard marks mind you on these guys it is a battle I have to survive 5 or 6 aggros on me during battle and sometimes I do lose. This is not what this is about this is about a enemy I am supposed to have a chance of killing, and I have no chance of killing.

For god sakes devs if you cannot do it right put it back the way it was this isnt challengeing or even hard its cheapness. Right now I have to debate whether I am going to spend 30 bucks on mustafar or cancel. I am effectively barred from fighting high end game now and so I cannot actually do anything on that planet anyway.

This just blows. The pet is totally worthless now I just faced a level 78 and my kimo which yesterday hit for 210 points of damage is now down to 183 why my guess they jacked the armor up too. So unless your tacked to the nines with the absolute best you are to not be allowed to do these missions.

The marks appear to be badly bugged, some are pushovers, others have godly regen rates that make putting a dent in them well nigh impossible.

Seems to vary from mark to mark, totally random.

Sio got rooted by a mark today, but the mark was doing very little damage, didn't have to heal up once.

A bug it is NOT. It's one of the changes coming to a galaxy near you!....Well I guess it's here. There were tons of complaints in beta about the insane regen of NPC's now, they put that in around the same time they added the action costs to heals. I was hoping to get in a few marks before this hit live! A BH in beta had a duel with a double elite and he had to drag him into a squad of 14 storm troopers for help, the mark proceeded to dispatch ALL the ST's and came back after the BH, he finally managed to take out the mark, and got a jar of bugs. This battle took well over 15 minutes, it may have been 30, I can't remember. It was posted several times that it needed to be tweaked a lil, but I guess it didn't happen. I'm sure that at some point after the screaming gets loud enough, it will be toned down. In the mean time, double elites are gonna be super tough!

Cannot help but notice this is kind of a anti ch patch. You know where they put something in that outstrips the damage a pet can do. I may be wrong but being able to deal damage with pets is a role chs can do. What else is frenzied assault and marring storm about. When my enemy heals for 500 points a tick and my pet does 150 damage there is really no hope for the pet to function as anything more then a dumb meat tank and nothing else.

Shows how much the devs care huh they drop this in and do not increase pet damage modifier in the least to cope with it.

I never encountered the problem, but I'm not a MCH right now either. I have seen where the marks aren't taking any damage as I'm hammering away at them with my rifle.

When you think about it, aren't almost all of the original professions iconic? You can find something on each of them in the Expanded Universe.

I miss being a Ranger. It was more than a profession, it was a virtual way of life. It wasn't for everyone. But those who took it up became family.

Yeah a BH/CM on the bounty forum is saying the same thing he fired all he had and only knocked 5k off of the boss mark he fought before he was totally empty and died. Can you beleive this a MBH/MCM got totally and utterly undone by something he is supposed to be able to kill.

Right now I am in game praying that I dont waste a trip to find a bossmark at the end of them.

So I guess with the new changes, wild pets are even more useless against high level opponents?

I only use BE pets anyway because of the higher health and double damage. But many prefer to use wild tames and shouldn't be forced to use a BE pet.

Anakin: Master, I think my lightsaber is getting dull. Its not doing nearly as much damage as it used to.
Obi-Wan: O.k. when we're done showing the youglings around the temple, we'll stop by the bazaar and you can buy a new crystal. I hope you've got a couple million credits saved up for this.
Anakin: WHAT?!!?? I don't have THAT kind of cash!
Obi-Wan: Well you could try sharpening it on these younglings. I've got a headache and all their questions are driving me NUTS!
Anakin: hmmm.... Sharpen my lightsaber on younglings...... hmmmmmm.....
Obi-Wan: uh, that was a joke Anakin. I'll spot you the cash for a new crystal THIS time, but next time you're on your own.

did one earlier but have a good tank pet with agression L3 so I really never have to worry about ant aggro. Was a real long and hard fight and i can agree regen rate is pretty silly - if it wasnt for my CA suit and damage/sac capped carbine i probably woulda taken 1/2 hour to take him down rather than the 15 mins it actually took :/

Mailo once again a boss mark is not defined by double gold chevron this is what a boss mark is.

Is level 82 double gold chevron has a health of around 35000, and no appoarantly regens at atleast 500 points of health a tick. His armor now is stronger, and the net result is my kimo did 183 damage with marring storm L2 and imperilled feint. Do the math 183 verse 500 point tick and then you see why the pet is worthles. You join in pop in a few good ones back off so your pet maintains aggro wait5 seconds and the damage you did is gone. The pet is 100 percent worthless.

To me, Elite = silver chevrons, Boss = gold chevrons. Of course a boss (aka gold chevron) with 17k health is a whole different world from one with 35k.
I do know what you were talking about, and if you check my post, you will notice I said I cannot comment on your experience yet because I have not met a boss with 32k+ health so far and will get back when I do. Unfortunately my server will be down another 4 hours, so I cannot check yet.
I just gave you my experience to compliment yours.
