Commando Archive

Geting bored of the my template (mch/pistoleer) so i was tinking of changing.

Was tinking of mch/commando flame 4. Anyone tried it and does it work well for you?

How good are the dots at flame 4 and do they give ok damage?

This will be a pure pvm template.

My plan was to send in pets then drop flame dots on the target and thenback away a bit.

Should help againt the upcoming agro change.

With the Flamethrower I'm currently using,I'm getting flame DOTs for about 2000 - 2800 every 8 seconds. The initial damage is usually between 4000 - 7000, dependant upon the mob's resistance to Heat.

Hope this helps.

No it isnt

i am wery much aware of this being a well known templat,e but as i newer tried it myshelf i wanted to know some facts before i tried it.

Thanks to the first poster who gave me the info i neded and aFU to the last guy

I am currently trying this myself. I never had a pet before this exept a few rebel factional pets. My fourth pet I trained as a novice ch was a mtn. krevol trained by Lake Retreat ,ham will max a 2200 when full grown. Using my baby beetle I can solo a level 25 storm trooper camp with little or no damage to myself. I sic the bettle on the st. run up flame him and go on to the next one. They will all target and fire on your pet. Most mobs will do the same thing.Attack the pet and leave you do bbq everything else. I have surrendered all my acid rifle skills and all but the first level of the gernade skills. I have both flame and heavy weap support maxed. So far this is working great for me and I'm having a lot of fun.

I used to use pets, but it was so easy it left a bad taste in my mouth. Now I run missions with bone armour, flamethrower,and maybe an urban guerilla or something.

I got rid of my mtn krevol in favor of a 400 HAM veermok scout, by the way I'm currently looking around for a couple more interesting pets before I drop novice CH

In any event, with Flame IV and MCH, you can doany faction mission solo (if rebel, a few nice burns and a rancor will put down a solo AT-ST mission) and I'd say a high level Dathomir mission without any support (wouldhave to be abreak between missions, I would think: constantly with a good medic/doc)

I think it depends on how much you like being Swordsman. If you enjoy it then I would probably drop some of the scout skills so you can master CH, unless you have something else you can drop. You really need some sort of combat profession with pets. Ranged professions tend to compliment MCH better than melee but both work just fine.

If you keep Swordsman, just know that you will still be the main tank when fighting. Your pets will be secondary. But you can have your pets load up the mobs with specials (intimidate, dizzy, poison, disease) and it works out really nice. Saves you having to waste hits on those.

I've found the benefit of melee professions is you don't have to heal your pets as much and you can probably kill mobs that your pet probably couldn't tank by itself if you were using a ranged profession. For example, I'm TKM and I've had 15+ enraged rancors on me before and killed them all. There is no way any of my pets could have taken that kind of beating. But the drawback is that you must always fight buffed. With a ranged profession you don't typically need buffs to fight.
