Hey,
Just curious if TKM is still the best route to go for Commando's?? I'm a Master Commando on Tarq, and do an occasional PVP... Right now I'm torn between Pistoleer and TKM. Thanks for the replies!

TKA is still good for a compliment, actually more so than befor. Befor it was good fro defenses, now its better than FT in any situation if you got the power line so to tell you the truth you should maybe be asking if commando is a good compliment to TKA. Im sure commandos will see some love one day though.
Pistoleer is good for LP and it or rifleman or carbineer cover our ange disadvantage, and again our damage short comings believe it or not, but Im afraid I cant telll you because Ive changed a lot but I will tell you I have had precision striking 4 for quite some time and it is very helpful and I personally wouldnt trade it for the world, er except maybe equal defenses elsewhere

I think the best way to go is master pistoleer, dirty fighting 4 and flame 4, cause flame will be fixed evuntually.

You won't have enough. You're short 2 skill points. I know, it sucks. I wanted this template as well.

master tk/commando = 18 skill points left
master commando/pistoler and 3 dirty = 0 skill points left

The problem with that pistoleer template that maddogs posted is you're missing out on last ditch. Plus, as it stands right now, pistols aren't that great. With TKM, you'll get powerboost, meditate, melee mitigation and overall a greater variety in weaponry.
I too however, don't want to be TKM. It's just not in my avatar's character to be a honored, disciplined martial artist. So I've caved in and decided to go Master Commando and whichever of the three ranged weapons from marksman is the best at that current moment. And right now, that ranged weapon is rifleman..........

TKA is a huge advantage for commandos right now, if you knock them down you can easily hit the armor hole for 3000 damage, 300 dot.

Somehow I hit the armor hole much more than I used to before the patch, even without kding first. I've talked to some other commandos in game and they all say the same thing, has anyone else experienced this?

If you go woth the template I suggest and you have a good launcher pistol you will be nearly untouchable, and you also get melee mitigation 1 as well as ranged 3. Think about it, Last Ditch and a good launcher pistol! I saw a screenshot on image dump where one guy with this template took out 8 atst's alone.

If you really want last ditch just dont take either the pistoleer line that gives you dodg and bleed, or the pistoleer line that gives you Stopping shot and fan shot. Just make sure you keep the speed and accuaracy line, without them, you can still use your LP and other pistols in PvE but you wont be nearly accurate enough to hit anyone that has decent defenses in PvP.
