Great post.

so right about the clothes though i have been lackin bad once all those enhancements started spammin the bazaars.....Commando.... we will have our day .... we all know its comin imp or reb (me reb die atst) ......

vonni

big gun and fishnet......is there another way?

i dunno about you guys, but lairs haven't been giving me xp lately. is this a new patch or is this a bug? so no more spamming lairs lairs with grenades for me.

also, looks like the original poster hunts where i do. gotta love those bug bunnies .

bump, and very wholeheartedly agree. three cheers, ivoni

shutout, try killing better lairs. giant dalyrakes on talus give 2-4k, and the dalyrakes aren't very hard if you have an alternate killing tree (mine's TKA, although it's more my main one)

I've noticed a little less xp on some lairs and most definitely more HPs on the lairs themselves.

But I get 1 to 3k combat xp per lair.

1. When Soloing, ALWAYS have a bot (any bot) grouped with you and parked in town for safety. Why? They give an xp bonus. Which sounds better 1497 xp or 1871 xp? Same mob, just grouped or ungrouped.

2. Get some decent clothing. Did you know each piece of clothing can have 4 sockets? Look on the bazaar under misc > general items and notice the tape looking stat enhancing tape (not the disks). Also, Master tailors can imbue certain cloths with buffs on top of that. For example, I have a jacket, pants, hat, and shirt. Each give +12 medicine use, injury treatment, and wound treatment. Thats +48 in medical skills. I can free up precious skill slots and still use stims.

Of note, just how many clothes can you wear? Well boots, pants, shirt, jacket, belt, hat, gloves, and either a backpack (broke at the moment) or a sash. That's EIGHT pieces. Unless Trandoshan, then 6. Or wookie and I'm not sure (sorry).

So do some decent shopping. Get Heavy Weapons Accuracy / Speed, and Thrown Weapons Accuracy / Speed. That fills your 4 sockets with skills for Commandos. I've found +1 to +5 stat items, so bide your time and you'll have +40 to all skills commando.

Be careful. If the tape has two or more buffs on it, only the first one will work when applied.

Pity the disks can't be used on armor yet. Oh well.

3. PvP. Skip it till we get fixed. I'm 40k combat xp from master commando and I still lose to Novice Marksman. Although it's fun to AOE with the flamethrower as it eats their armor and wounds massively.

4. Pick a faction. Wanna be neutral. Fine up to you. Imps get way more powerful toys, but unless you Human or Zabrak it really hurts (although much less now). They get an AT-ST for a pet and nothing compares, and their other pets are none too shabby. But

Get promotions. Why? Well, not only does it raise your max faction ceiling by 10.1 the cost of promotion (if 400 to buy it you can have 4040 max) it also BUFFS the faction pets.

For example, a private Rebel pet has a Ham of 4500. Get two promotions and it's now 5500.

Also, the faction armor is amazing. They've also fixed shield generators so they last just as long as armor does. Very nice.

5. Make friends with a Master Weaponsmith. Get him to make crates of grenades. Use them exclusively on lairs. Why?

Which sounds more fun? 2000 combat xp for blowing up a lair or 20000 xp killing mindless stuff? Seriously, we can get combat xp like candy.

6. Have fun. Know that this class is being fixed. An amazing patch is coming our way. This is the one class that as a master may be awesome, but you have to work sooo much harder to get there.

Personally I approve. Keeps out all the l33t d00dz who are CH's at the moment. They just want to ownz, but never actually work hard to do so.

That's it for now. Back to killing bunnies

Can any of you guys recommend a good place to hunt? I just now started working on my commando since they fixed it, i was working on rifleman but i figured i had to drop it now since they made the launcher pistol the commando's primary weapon. So now im going to be doing pistoleer, as well as working on my commando tree. Anyways.....right now im just using my launcher pistol to get xp so that i can use my other guns later, right now my acid and flame seem to be pretty weak compared to the launcher pistol, is this because i havent gotten any of the specials for it? From what i have read, the heavy weapons are significantly better using the specials, and shouldnt be used in all situations, and that the launcher should be a commando's all purpose weapon. Is this true?

At any rate im not getting the xp that i would like with any of the heavy weapons i have. I can pull off 3k xp consistently using my rifle, but when i use my heavy weapons im only getting 600 to 800 max xp, and that is from killing at-st's, where would be a good place to hunt regular mobs, and how hard is it to solo them? I had been hunting on dantooine, in large groups....but i was getting terrible xp doing so, so i left and am now soloing weak mobs on naboo gettin a steady 300 xp a kill which in my opinion sucks, so if any of you would be kind enough to help me out by suggesting a good soloing spot, i would be very grateful.

G9GUN,

Do you have some kind of knockdown move or pet. Honestly solo xp sucks unless you have one or two of those things. I get pretty good xp in a group with my launcher pistol providing I use smuggler moves and marksman moves. Im not sure why you arent.

Bunnies. Lots and Lots of Bunnies.

I get 1871 xp per bunny.

not totally sure with all clothes being socketed, i thought only specific pieces can be

anyways i do have tusken boots that have like +12 hvy weapons speed...so i guess thats true

Can anyone give me the coords for these bunnies i keep hearing about lol, that would help a lot actually. Or even just the planet and city they are outside of.

"Thats +48 in medical skills. I can free up precious skill slots and still use stims." Just wanted to let you kno you cant use stims with that for some reason. I tried already...
