I'm about to make a proff change. One of the proff's I'm looking at is Commando. I've heard some negative things about Commando so I'm curious - in all honesty - is it worth spending all these Skill points on? Is it that good?

heres what ill tell ya - it depends on how ya play and what ya want to do in game - and how much patience you have lol. I say yes, we have plenty of disgruntled peeps who will probably say otherwise. You can really dish out damage, its just that your defenses suck. many peeps compliment Master commando with other better defensive professions. I went TKM and it works very well for me.
Were all just desperately waiting for the friggin combat upgrade, being that the only working weapons we have right now is the Launcher Pistol and the Flamer. Our consumables like rockets, HPBC can be questionable at times with accuracy, but slices and such can help. Many other issues that supposably be fixed in the upgrade.
I, personally love it, and will never be anything else - the upgrade in my opinion will only make it better.
Hope it helps - and prepare for some negative responses lol - the community is rather cranky and frustrated waiting for the docs, upgrades, verbage and what not - god bless em all. Our community is very tight knit also.

Thanks for the response. I remember hearing Commando got nerfed but I paid little attention to it way back when.
I am working on swordsman at the moment. Maybe I should try flame and see how that works? In some ways Commando reminds me of pistoleer, another proff with some broken mods.

well i'm only 4/4/0/0 commando, and unless there is a MAJOR reason for me to do so, I'm not investing any more skill points. Having sad that, The ability to blow the living SH!T out off turrents and at-st's, is nice. also i use rockets on NS which i can't hurt with my rifles, when they agro me. (I shoot rocket 2x, then FD rinse reapet) better than dying in my opinion. I might just go commando 0/4/4/0 though. Flamering things just sounds cool. It is hard to hit. But It'sso funny to flame someone.

While this profession has ALOT of problems,(for more detail read the stickied posts), I would never drop it and I love being a commando.
Secondly, we have the best and most helpful forum mixed with the great correspondent "GARVIN".
If everything our leader has said is true, this profession will rock after the Revamp and be great again.

Okay, dude... you realize you get to BURN stuff as a commando? Setting things on fire..... wow.... and you get to blow stuff up. What more could you POSSIBLY want? Lightsabers? Pah! I have YET to see a reasonable thought as to how a lightsaber could possibly block my "intense stream of firey death and fury".
in other words, it's the best 169point allocation you can find, though not for force grinding, for FUN.

Commando is a fun low to midrange PvE solo professsion (I still get giggles out of 1 shotting things with my flamethrower). The two real drawbacks to the profession are a lack of defenses (which can compensated for by dabbling) and a low DPS compared to other proffessions. If you are serious about commando and want to participate in PvP and high end content, you will need to invest in getting a form fitted stock, some nice krayt tissues, good resources, and pray for a good speed slice. It might also help to have a ws alt or guild member to make heavy weapons for you. The grenades tree is a mess, and the HAR is redundant with the FT. Hopefully things will be better with these two post combat upgrade (no, that is not any sort of hint).

I think that Commando is still a decent to pretty goodPvE profession despite all the stuff that needs fixing...cause the FT is such a good weapon for low to mid level PvE mobs...but the combat upgrade will probably make us the envy of most if not all combat professions...I hope.

well, you guys dont sound too excited....would it be wiser for me to just spent my sp's on tka in addition to swords? :-) Only appealing thing of commando is the idea of flaming people
right now, i would say yes. that would be a good idea...but things may be changing although it might still be a few more months as sandbox testing begins and information about the combat changes (specific info) starts to trickle out.

I really really want to.
I come to your board alot and see all your valid concerns about your prof and it scares me away. But the community you guys have and Garvin almost make it a toss up. I might have to at least dabble until the revamp.
