I am workin up commando. I have master medic atm. When i use flamer I have a huge (10 sec) delay on stim use. I have never had this problem before with any other weapon. Is this a bug?

If you're just a Novice Commando it will be atrociously slow. To speed up the Flamethrower you need to go up the 3rd tier of skills for Flamethrower. Look over the description for each of the skills and you'll see an incremental speed & accuracy increase. I started using my FT more once I hit FT3 where it's decently faster and accurate. Slice your FT to hopefully get a speed increase.
The pain in the rear is getting the XP's to progress up the FT levels. The FT is a heavy weapon. So is the Launcher pistol. So, for the time being, use the LP to rack up XPs and concentrate on one tree at a time to level up. Why? The LP is a much faster weapon and you'll do more damage early on than with your slow, inaccurate FT. I suggest the FT skills first since it's the most effective so far for the Commandos... and it's a non-consumable weapon unlike the weapons in the 1st and 2nd tiers.
I'm at 1/1/3/0 right now for Commando but I'm 3/4 of the way done before FT4. Things should speed up once I get FT4.

Thanks for reply but I know the gun and specials are slow. The problem I am having is that my heals (stim D)appear to be on this delay as well. I have no delay on healswith any other weapon.

It's all the same que, you've just never noticed it before. A 10sec delay makes it stick out like a sore thumb. You can't do any other action until the special delay fades. It's a Doc issue to have healing show up in the combat que (it's in the same que it just doesn't show up iconically)

Crikey, I'm Master and it's *still* a 10 second delay.(11 second delay 90% of the time in the combat spam) Wasn't it supposed to get better once you hit Master?
I am pretty sure I used to be able to get a DB in or a loot during the delay. Now I can't even DB. I can't tell you how many times I've stood there looking stupid while my mark gets up, heals up to full, and starts beating on me again while I'm waiting for my weapon to cool off.

i think raising the dmg on the FT was bad..very bad...
They shouldve done away with Delay totally...and cut current damage in half..so around 3-5k just about...3-5k @ 3-4 secs is what I would consider "hybrid elite" 
But then again...our DPS will still be a bit lower...maxing out at around 1600 dps...
Ok forget what I said...keep the raised dmg, drop the delay...that equals a max of around 2250 dps for 9k dmg @ 4 seconds....its higher than what most proffessions can do...and about on par with TKM...makes sense....that would do it

after the conversion i iwas able to get 0040 LS, leaving me with no skills to defend myself with, and the abillity to gain just about 1/2 the xp that i could have as a 4122 initaite in the old system. so i try and grind, get about 10 or 20k xp, than have a BH come out of no ware and rape me, dont have force run anymore, cant use armor anymore, so i get raped. i get DB'ed, and get a system message saying that i lost 30k xp (i am really glad that i waisted that hour to get 2/3 of what i lost) and so i think, i already lsot my xp, i might as well clone, my doc was neay by, but sence i lost my xpalready there isint really a point in having him come and save me. and when i clone i get anathor nice mesage saying that i just lost 200k xp, **edit**. why dont they make it so that; a.) jedi have some way of knowing when there is a BH after them (you would think that the force would have helped them out a little), b.) make the BH tef go both ways, so that it isint always the BH that gets the first shot, c.) eather make it so the low lvl padies get more xp, or lose less when they die. c.) make it so the BH looses 3k BH xp if he gets killed my the jedi (about 10 hours of work, i get 20k/hour, lost 200k for a clone). or d.) give the jedi their own POI where they can get xp withought having to worry about retarded nerds with nothing better to do than waist my time.

I'm only 0021 LS with 1000 Healer and I can grind better than 25k an hour.
With doublebladed LS using gen 1 saber with -7 fc crystal, it doesn't take that long.
Yeah, loosing 230k xp bites, but that's all part of the game.
What will really get you is when that BH griefs you using the bug that lets him kill you over and over and you end up -1 mil xp.
It hasn't happened to me, but there have been several people that have had this done to them.

OMG stop complaining and learn to play your Jedi kid.
I really cant believe the mindset of some of you guys. You want to be able to have first attack,or a way to grind without any possibility of a BH on you.... lol that sounds real fun. Maybe the Dev's will just allow a new planet to be created that only Jedi can go too. Call it the Noob Planet.
that -230k xp is just part of the bigger picture. There is nothing wrong with it.I have lost over 660k and Im not complaining.
I am same lvl as you and can gain about 100k xp per 1.5 hours.
There is nothing wrong with a BH coming out to visit me unless im in my seceret Uber xp area they dont know about.
