Hi I have been playing a BH for a while ding PvE missions which is what I want to focus on, I have been playing with the following spec:
BH 4x4x
Smuggler x1xx
Pistols 4x44
Medic 2xxx

Brawler/scout/marks

I have a basic composite set, using a scatter pistol or republic blaster depending on the resistances of the target.
But I am struggling with any target mission over 300 have no CAs or AAs at the moment, which I know doesn't help, but want to make sure I get the right ones.

So my questions are, armour, should I get a full comp set, or just some pieces with enhanced clothes, if so what pieces should I have? And which enhancements?
Which SEAs should I prioritise?

Thanks for the help.

I just started doing the higher missions and by no means am I any good at BH yet lol, but haven't had any problems taking down the 352 missions. xx4x pistols 3444 BH xx2x carbs novice brawler is where I'm at for combat abilities.
Basically all I do is eat synth steak and pikita pie, drink some brandy before I engage and keep my pistols powered up. I start with health shot 1&2 then spam torso shot until the mark gets close then I intimidate and war cry then go back to torso shot or health shot if the bleeds go away.
Really haven't had any trouble at all with the 352 missions, just keep up with the steak and power ups when they wear off. If you feel like your in danger you can run far enough away that the mark will stop attacking and head back to where he started.
I'm sure others have way better strats but this works for me.

I would recommend a bit of a template change. MBH at a minimum. That, fastblast and your scatter pistols should be enough to kill the 355s. /examine the mark and check resists. I believe the 355s roll on the same loot table as the 367s, but its been a while. Can anyone confirm that?

There's an extra loot roll with a really small chance of obtaining another set of broken electrobinoculars,so small if your doing it for the loot with a risk vs reward mindset its best not to bother and stick with 355's.
355's are vulnerable to stun and acid so bear that in mind when you go up against them.

Intimidate + stay in melee range. Use a scatter and hunt 355s. Super easy, just use steak+wafers and you don't even need medic.

Yeah just did my first 355 earlier today, had to search for awhile for one to show up on the mission terminal. 367 and 352 are always popping up but I rarely see the 355.
Just like you said I ran into melee range used intimidate and spammed torso shot with a scatter pistol, fight was over very fast. Way easier and faster than the lower 300 missions.
