MrMud you do get xp for flame dots. Since the proffession was nerfed a few months ago, they do not inflict as much dot, but instead have a higherinitialdamage. How do I know this? Well I have been a commando twice so far, the first time-shock trooper(flame 4), the second time-mastered. I have been saved many a time from db'sby the flame dot. It used to be: flame2 the enemy-go incapp'd-flame dot kills enemy-you live. Now since the nerf, you cannot count on it as much. I have a 4.6 speed 1092 max dam flamer, I seriously have hit lairs for 54k damage and npc's for 13k with one hit. I f I don't kill them in one hit I have the LP as my saving grace. Spend as much money on an elite LP as possible, this can mean life or death. I have an LP 2.1 speed 127-283 dam, I spent 200k on it, it was worth every penny. I believe I only died 3 times during my grind to master, unlike my first attempt at commando with inferior weapons. I am a rebel so Storm Trooper xp is roughly 2100-2800 xp per kill, you'll see that the flame dot does not hinder the final xp at all, the only way that you flame and don't get xp is through flame cone. I dunno why that is, but it just is. I have just mastered Pistoleer and fan shot hits multiple targets and you get all the xp for hitting those targets, either it's a bug or they just do it to "balance"(nerf) the class.

Mastering ID took about 40 mins -- with a willing 'victim' and training source on-hand. *yawn*

Of course, you can't mop up mobs by image designing them, either.

also remember that you guys have it easy. back in the day, the launcher pistol used to give pistol xp, flamethrowers used to be 5.5 speed, 50-222damage, and we had no certification for the heavy acid rifle (well, ok, that one was good ). if you were to stick a burn on a snorbal, piket or whatever, first they'd laugh at you, then they'd run over and beat you up. now its flamesingle2/flamesingle1/harvest resources.

My first flamethrower was like 5ish speed and had a max damage of just over 500 sliced...but I also remember that when you convinced that flamesingle2 to stick, it did like 4k damage,but the burn ticked for 2k+

I am a Master Commando but not for Holo Purposes. I am wondering if anyone is aware if the Heavy Weapons Skill tapes have been nerfed and if they are actually suppose to be Flame Thrower Speed and Accuracy skill tapes out there now?

I read that this had happened on a posting in the BloodFin Trading forum. I believe it may be true only because I spent 2.5 Million on a +13 Hvy Weapon Speed skill tape and it does not seem to work when I analyzed the speed of my flamethrower while using and not using the armor that I attached the skill tape to.

Any idea if this is nerfing is true or is there a minimum speed that your Flamethrower can reach without being able to go any faster? My current Flamethrower is 3.9 with 826 Dam and it seems to fire the special shots such as Flamesingle2 every 8-9 seconds doing about 8-9K damage.

Burn it, burn it all! All the way through-don't even bother with anything else to get heavy weapon experience. War gronda on corellia were a great creature for fast heavy weapon xp. One war gronda lair usually netted me 20-25K xp, depending on how many babies popped out. And they go by fast. 1-3 hits with the flamethrower and they're down. I did this over a few evenings and hit master in no time. The 5K credits per mission didnt hurt either, espcially since i soloed every war gronda lair, unbuffed and with no armor. Wookiee commando, and armor didnt exist at the time.

You have no weapons that use Heavy weapon speed. Look at your skills with the armour on, it says Heavy Weapon Speed 0/(+25).

Sorry, you blew 2.5 mill on nothing.

I have been helping my friend get to TKM/Commando. We found a way top do the whoel of the unarmed combat tree in about one full day of play.

!: Buy some vibroknucks (the faster the better)

2: Buy some powerups for the knucks to increase the damage and/or mind pool usage

3: Get doctor buffs

4: Go to naboo and get capper spineflap missions ( i know, but bear with me)

Now, while the high level kritters spawn maybe ten per lair....spineflaps spawn 20 or so. You can get liek 2-3k xp off the guards and they are not too hard to kill so even a novice brawler can solo them whiel buffed.

Once you hit unarmed 3 go to dathomir and do baz nitch missions instead. If these are too easy you can move onto mutant or giant baz nitches but trust me. Baz nitxhes give the most xp for the least amount of effort in the game (for unarmed combat anyway)

I have the most fun while riding a creature-mount across the landscape shooting anything that moves with the flamethrower. You won't be able to do any special attacks but that won't matter for most creatures on Corellia or Naboo. Gets decent xp while leaving scourched earth in your wake.
