Commando Archive

I am going to be a commando but having been debating as to what proffession i should go with after that. I think i have it narrowed down to pistoleer, but maybe I should go smuggler? What would you say is better between those two (or others, i am open to suggestions) for pvp, pve, and general amount of fun to play....Also what is the line in TKA that has all the defensive bonuses?

Personally I chose Pistoleer because of the added defensive bonuses, on top of the fact I actually have useful specials to use with my launcher pistol.

Smuggler is an interesting choice, what with having a massive attack (Last Ditch) and a ranged knockdown (Low Blow). However, the defensive bonuses just aren't there, and you aren't going to get them from the Commando tree. So unless you've got a pet tanking for you, I'd take Pistoleer.

**edit** pistoleers

commando and smuggler are my two proffesions, nice combination imho

I am enjoying Rifleman until the class gets fixed. Then we'll see . . .

But i must admit the sniping feature would be one I would sorely miss if I dropped the class in favor of pistoleer or something. They may work well in tandem, depending on whether any rifle bonuses carry over when Acid Rifle is used.

i just went into pistoleers..not for the specials...even from the start i just used pistols more and were more effective using em (in my mind) and i had to wait nearly 2 weeks before the hvy weapons xp started to work with LP..so heck why not go into the prof that you loved as a marksman??

Ok, i guess the consensus is to go with pistoleer....I would still have 18 points left over and I want to put them in the defensive line of TKA, but I don't know what that line is, or maybe novice medic /shrug

Commando and Combat Medic is what I have now. OMG is this fun in pvp. Put on Armor, Equip Heavy Weapon, Load Stims, READY TO ROCK.

Carbineer, IMHO, is the best match for Commando. Carbs have the most well rounded specials of any prof in the game.

is MC, MBH, with some smuggler (if i remember right) still a good mix?
