Here is what I said in another thread:

Commando/Smuggler is ALOT of fun, amusing to have about 6 or 7 Jantas rush to you and you do a concussion shot with your Plasma and see all of them get the rooted ring flashing across your screen, LOL.

Oh yes, amazing how much damage you dish out with lastditch when your health is low, I hit a Jedi in a duel for close to 3200 dmg and instantly incapped him.


Not sure how lowblow is supposed to work, it hasn't worked or done much for me lately so I use ranged strike.

Glad to hear it's working out for you guys. I was doing the lowest Rebel Missions I could pull solo and the laser fire from those Stormies just ate me up in no time.

What's the level of the NPC's you're fighting? Faction NPC's have quirky levels right now it seems. If you aren't, also make sure you're wearing full armor.


I notice you also say stormies as plural; if you're getting more than two that would explain the trouble you're experiencing.

i just spent the last day with this build. Master Commando/Master Smuggler



combat wise (only)


it is nowhere near as good as, MBH/Master Commando.


not even close. its better to dabble in smugg. to get the FD or 'last ditch'

from what i gathered here, everybody is saying the 'low blow' is why you are all smugglers (along with the FD, im sure) why would you need any more than, 0/0/4/0 smug?


am i missing something here? ty








Because I always have been a Master Smuggler and always will be one.

I've got to agree that master smuggler / master commando didn't work for me. Pre revamp I was a smuggler pistoleer and thought I'd change pistoleer for commando but what did it get me? No special moves at all,a bunch of commando only weapons but as all apart from the plasma flamethrower are lower than level 54 they all have damage levels too low to use in PVE. Even the plasma flamer has a lower range and DPS than my pistol. Fire DOT on the flamer hardly ever seems to stick, grenades are now a joke. There's even a non commando certed flamer available if anyone wants a fire DOT and area effect without being a commando. Since I've gone back to pistoleer, the only thing I'm missing from commando is being able to wear my old composite.


Was I missing something? Does commando have anything to offer other than doing the same thing as everyone else only with a jet of flame instead of a blaster bolt?


Don't take any of this as flaming. I'm just really disappointed that commando seems to have so little to offer now.

Think about all the cool CC skills smugglers get. Now think about doing those AE. The non-certed FT is bugged, by the way.


Also consider that you could potentially be hitting multiple states on someone when you use the weapon's innate state + state from special attack...

One mastered elite proffesion will get you at least 54 while mastering two elite professions will max you out at 80.

I have always been MC/MS so figured why change the habit come the CU. So I stuck it out. Dropped Master Marksman and my extra FS trees to be left with the 2 Master Elite Profs and the 2 Defence FS trees with some points left over.


Anyway I have been testing a lot on both PvE and PvP and sure I can hold my own against most things even big groups and lvl 83 DWB Super Battle Droids BUT I cannot do dmg worth a spit. I dunno maybe its my weapons since they are only the updates from pre CU but I think at 486dmg/sec for my Kryat Plasma Flamer isnt too bad yet im doing sweet FA dmg in PvE and PvP. Ill kill things eventually using uhh using body shot I think but ultimately im not hurting anyone with anything just tickling them as I repetadly get pounded.


Tell me what attacks do you use to actually dmg mobs and other players cause im scoobed that I can work it out.
