if you want to be good at pvp.
Go melee.
ONLY way to fight jedi.
Ranged have no chance
The best ranged vs the best melee, melee will always win
WHAT?? ROFL um no melee can beat me and im CL 55 MCH/master artisan, using only default rifle attacks...ive dueled LOTS of melee CL 80's, and killed em all. Not true, ranged owns now.
Ok, I know alot of you say commando sucks at pvp blah blah bit I have seen some really good ones. I dont want to be the "best" pvper. I just want to be able to hold my own. I was thinking of this...
Master Commando/Dirty Fighting/TKA 4001/Pistoleer 0404
Any suggestions/constructive criticism?
That's a good template...you build on the Commando PvP weakness by handling ranged attacks...
Looks like your going for the Meditation track of TKA which is good for healing between battles and the power up...not sure how good Force of Will is during Pvp (never tried it there)...And your grabing all the Melee and Ranged Defenses from the other end of TKA...Dirty Fighting of Smuggler is considered one of the best secondary lines PvP from what I red...LowBlow is great...Not sure about your choices in Pistoleer as I've only gone up 0040 in the past...your grabing the defenses, but not sure about 0400 and how good that tree is...The only weakness I can see is a possible lack of a Melee profession, but as long as you keep the out of range of the melee opponent, you shouldn't have any trouble...now you just have to worry about mind attacks or attacks that target one specific HAM bar...reason being, doesn't look like you have any medic...so all someone has to do is focus on your Action or Health bar and wear you down as you can't heal in battle....one of those "dot at range, outlast and keep out of range of the flame specials" strategy...Just my 2 cents
When people say Commando sucks PvP, they mean Commando alone with no thought of secondary professions...throw in the right combo of secondary professions and Commando can do quite well....
You make some very good points. I figure if I go up against a melee i'll have to depend on luck. With a lowblow/panic shot they wont stand for at least 10 seconds. Hopefully by that time i can get out of range and get a good hit in. I could get novice medic and possibly FA 2, but is it worth it to give up the pistol accuracy while moving.
Any thougts on that?
The whole panic shot/low blow things works well if you have room to move. Since you still need to DOT them to win, make sure you aren't fighting in a cantina.
I love to duel people, even some TKs, switch to launcher pistol after they accept, and then panic shot, switch to flame, flame2, burst run while they fry. Just don't miss on either shot.

Clarification...
Its tough to fight in a cantina, because its tough for you to get more than one flame special off against ANY pistoleer, BH, TK, or really any master combat class, since you can't hide or move, and they eventually knock you down once and its over. The best place for commandos to duel is by a bank plaza. It's really easy to move in and out of the wall coveringsandwait until you can use specials.

okay currently i am an 0300 BH/Master carbineer, im loving it, i can kill anyone when it comes to 1v1 or 2v1 but iw as thinking that maybe Master carbineer/MCM would be good, area poisons+full auto area which would be owning in big battles, my only concern would be i would only have +60 carbine speed +130 accuracy and +30 accuracy while moving, these mods arent too good when im used to playing with +105 speed +180 accuracy, has anyone tried both of these, which is better, how good would i be in 1v1 situations? thanks for your help
I don't think your pistol will be fast enough.
Unless you have BH pistol, pistoleer tree just doesn't give you enough speed or accuracy until you get master, and them smuggler moves have long delays. Even at master pistoleer! I thought the delay after stopping shot was too long after being MBH. But thats just me! And I'm using a 1.0 FWG! My scatter is .7 lol
