Hello again,


Nother quick commando question here. I am a dabbler in many professions, and picked up novice commando solely to get access to the launcher pistol. I have novice Pistoleer, the techniques Pistol Line, the BH pistol Line, and the Smuggler pistol Line.


My understanding was that mob lairs were weak to blast damage. So I grab a couple of missions, and finish off the baddies around the lair. When I start blasting the lair with my newly acquired weapon, all I can say is I was dissapointed. I'm running a 65-255 damage launcher pistol. Currently my scatter pistol from BH does more damage to lairs.


I guess my question is this. Am I doing something wrong, or are lairs not really vulnerable to blast damage? Is there any other possible reason to use the launcher pistol, other than against at-st's and turrets (which I have never done, and probably won't ever do)?


Figure if there's no pro to using this, I can just drop it and put the SP to use somewhere else.


thank you




No your not doing any thing wrong but lairs are about 40% resistant to blast, which I found out when I was a swordsman.

What he said, and I too love the LP and I used a sweet 420 max dmg LP when I had BH pistols, master smuggler and pistoleer 0043 and lastditch is insane at speedcap.
