Dont know too much about it to be honest, but i dont think so. Its a shame too. Just the idea of the commando profession has so much potential, but has never lived up to it.

i think commando gets too few worthwile specials, and that their weapons got nerfed too heavily in CU. commando weapons should be high damage but low speed if this were realistic, but a lot of the time you can get a rifle or carbine with better damage. i think since they don't have 2 shots to alternate from, it isnt very viable against a jedi...fire tick would be nice though

As a MBH/MCommando I can say that MBH seems to compliment MCommando better than any other master profession, both for the adds to general ranged speed and accuracy, and also for the specials. As far as commando complimenting BH, it is much less beneficial IMO. I have lost to marks because the AE weapons have aggro'd nearby mobs (clever on their part to run for them, not smart on mine to not swap up to a pistol) and as there are no roots/snares/mezs/specials of any kindin commando, you are pretty much left with just the KD from BH as your sole crowd control option. Also, the added requirement of the unarmed tree from brawler burns alot of skill points, but if you are dabbling in smuggler, as I did, then you would have to get them anyways.

I was MBH/Mcommando for awhile. It was pretty good, but I found myself using non-commando weapons a lot against jedi =P When my beginner's luck with BH ran out I hit a slump. Now I'm retired with only 13 kills to my name =P
It can work, you just need practice and strategy.

Many seem to pass over the fact that 90% of commandos weapons have elemental damage on them. They're more viable now after patch 19 than they were before. Of course, we'll have to continue to watch the commando forums to know how significant that change effected them.
