I am about half way through to Master Commando. I am actually 2/2/4/0. I love the flamethrower, it has been great for me overall. I have not gotten into the Heavy Acid rifle because I have not been able to find one to purchase. My Launcher pistol is not very good, it is hardly a 200 max.

I spend most of my time on Tatooine while I have been leveling up. I have had no problem(especially while being buffed) killing Mountain Worrts, Mountain Squills and have had no problem with Fort Tusken.

For the first time I decided to go to Dathomir to look for Rancors and Nightsisters. I killed a few rancors with my flamethrower though it was not all that effective on some of them. I ran into a Nightsister and started to get whooped so I hopped on my swoop and took off for the spaceport.

I am NOT into PvP. I enjoy hunting the creatures and NPC types. I still am a master medic, but am about to drop it since I need the skill points for Commando.

Basically, seeing how Commando is useless against the Teras Kasi and other mele types and other than the Flamethrower, the other weapons do not seem very good.

What is thw min/max on a Heavy Acid Rifle?

If I do Master Commando, what goes well with it?

Advice will bew appreciared.

Note: I am on the eclipse server.

You don't find many Heavy Acid Rifles around because, well, they stink. Know the Flamethrower. Love the Flamethrower. BE the Flamethrower! Master Commando gives you /flameCone2, which is pretty nice, but tricky to get full effectiveness with. When it works, it's gratifying to see 5 or 6 MOBs drop into dead, steaming piles of meat. The Warren was great for that - those silly huurtons!

Grenades are also a tricky story. The limited use weapons are expensive, and inaccurate. And with grenades, you're more likely to hurt yourself in the heat of combat than your enemy.

But that Flamethrower is a gas! (groan)

I, too, am not into the PvP scene, and mostly hunt or run NPC kill missions. Alas, as a Wookie, without armor, life is tough against the really tough MOBs.

Currently, I've got Master Smuggler alongside Master Commando, but as far as pure combat, TK is a good companion class. I've seen some other templates that build up some CH as well.

As for me, I plan to explore TK (that was the plan 6 months ago, at least), and other Marksman offshoots. Unless I decide to listen to my holo. (Ranger! )

intvsteve, thanks for the response.

As of this moment I plan on Mastering Commando, mostly since I am close enough and would like to see how much better a Master is and try FlameCone2.

I bought a Heavy Acid Rifle and I agree it stinks.

I do not care for the expensive weapons, none are better the flamthrower overall.

Long term I plan on quitting Master and just keeping Flamethrower. I dolove that thing.

I am SLOWLY working on getting Novice TK, it is gonna take forever. Very boring. I like shooting.

Well, I have kept going and should Master Commando in the next 24 hours.

I am considering going TKA with it, but it looks like getting Novice TKA will take forever.

Is going rifleman good with Commando?

What else would work well?

Thanks

all novie proffesions are a bish if you get tirleman you wont be using a flamethrower anytime soon lol. when i was commando i was tkm/mcommando/firstaid1 and it worked as well as commando could work

I prefer master pistoleer along with master commando. It gives good deffenses against melee and ranged, offers a melee attack that knocks down, and works beautifully with the LP (health bleed, fire dot, bodyshot a few times, dead). I love it in pve.

I am now Master Commando; 0,0,4,4 Pistoleer; Dirty Fighting 2 (to get Feign Death); novice scout and novice medic.

Obviously use the flame thrower for most things but can drop back to pistols if mobs have high heat resist.

Using a launcher pistol and doing Fan Shot at pretty much the speed cap is very effective against geonosians(sp?)

if you aren't bothered about harvesting stuff then drop the scout and go up all of dirty fighting. Low Blow and Last ditch with a launcher pistols is great fun.

Yowza! Nerf! Nerf! Nerf! (/jk). Sounds like an interesting template.

As to the earlier post about the unarmed grind for TK, yeah, it's pokey. I didn't do the VK route, but with a good speed slice, you can actually dish out better damage over time w/o the cert than barehanded - simply because of the speed difference. If you've decided to follow that path, maybe that will help.

Best of luck!

I have just quit Commando. I was a Master for about 3 weeks.
