How do you do on NPC marks?


NPC elite marks?


Do you hunt NPC's at all?


Just curious.


I know high end creatures usually don't stand a chance against this combo, but i'm curious about the npc's.

Mine is on TC and he gets humped.

But the AI has been adjusted there and an elite mark spamming KD/blind/dizzy/bleed and the specials from maybe three elite profs is a BIT scary.


The one on Live is middling-BH/MPistols with a little Ranger tracking. Does okay against same level NPC marks but am going to have to invest in some armour before going after elite marks there.

NPCs go down fairly easy, takes a lot of stims usually for elites. I maybe use a ruby bliel if they start taking me down. My duelist macro keeps me well enough defended and I stick to high dps scatters or a good alr depending on who I'm fighting there. Npcs are usually just boring to find, but it's a decent find at times, at least.

Hmmmm. Very interesting. The elite npc's though drop the good loot. LOL. I'm glad I kept some of my pets. I'm thinking with the revamp though Elite marks won't be so tough. We'll have to see.

On Live, I can solo any of the NPC marks with good armor on. Even the 35k Health ones, but for those, I use the health crystal from the village. I always use my combat droid to up my DPS (factional pets work well too). If they up the AI for all NPCs, it might be worth picking up a factional pet to use, since their AI might be better than the combat droids.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

I enjoy my BH/Ranger. Was sitting in theed pickin off dueling jedi who didn't suspect the guy with the Master Ranger tag. Does wonders for cloaked people too. As for NPCs I don't have a problem really have any problem with em. Takes a little to drop em but no real issue takin them as long as you got Nov medic and a healing eff shirt.

With NPC's as long as they are not Eliet marks I win.

I have just redone my temp from Master Ranger/ Rifles to BH Ranger. My first elite mark gave me a whopping, due to the fact that i didnt have any bacta and was relying on Stim Ds and Ruby Biele, after this i took up basic medic 0010 and after that i didnt have a problem with the high level marks, the bacta healing although not much allows me to alternate my healing so i dont fill up too quickly on drink and cant heal, since then i havnt lost a scrap yet.


Also with this temp, took on a friend in my first duel, who wasMR, BH Pisolier and won...first last and only duel i think i will retire on that, but the medic does help.

NPC marks aren't too bad for me to take down. the areatrack from Ranger doesn't really help me all that much, so I have to rely on the floating tattletales.

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.

Thanks everyone. I picked up a little medic 0010, and it has helped. I need to have my AS friend make me some better wookiee armor. I've had this set since pre-cu when I knew my alt would be a wookiee. The stats are barely over 3500. I'm sure better armor will help. Now I need to figure out what I'll be dropping when the revamp comes out. I really don't think giving medic up will be a good idea but we'll see I guess.

Get some BE clothes and eat ... that food that increases healing efficiency (Citros Snow Cake?) ... for a big boost to bacta heals.
