Boots and gloves are not hitable areas so don't wory about that.

1) If you want an exact replica of a stormtrooper, you'd have to pick a different species. Trandoshans can not wear gloves/boots of any kind, so you're a bit out of luck there. But as the above poster mentioned, you won't get hit in those areas, so you don't have to worry about getting damaged there at least.

2) I have never tried Carb/Commando myself, but from what I understand commando offers no specials of its own. What commando gives you is access to heavy weapons, many of which automatically make any special an area of effect attack.

Commando by itself isn't viable, you'd need to mix and match it up.. and whether you're Carb/Commando or Rifles/Commando is really a matter of choice.. different specials have different uses and each has its advantage and weakness.

It's no longer a matter of 'sucking'.. it's more about what you're up against.

BH/Carbineer is a popular mix because it adds great specials, speed and accuracy, and it's a winning combination in many cases, but a lot of people end up having it. That said, it allows you to solo pretty well, though you'd never really want to be the one taking the hits.

If you're looking for a "soldier class that kicks ass", Carbineer for now is your best bet. Rifles are powerful but slow, Pistols are useful but not hard-hitting and Carbineer is well in the middle with good speed, damage and versatility.

You should really just worry about having fun at this point, though

In genral commandos in game now have horibal dps. Got a friend who is one with some attachments...he does more damage faster and better with his carbines...If you like heavy weapons go for it. If you want to be more than the guy with the flame thrower you might want to wate till its fixed a bit...Kinda depressing because nothing quite like a flame thrower hehe.
