Yeah, it's cheesy, yeah, I'm original just like everyone else, but still - CH 3-2-0-0 is the best investment of skillpoints I have ever made. I carry around 5 Graul Maulers in my datapad and enough petstims to heal constantly for longer than I'll ever need to. With one Grual Mauler, assuming I don't heal it, I can burn my way through 3 small Pubam lairs on Endor (a little over 25k each). Assuming I never heal the Grauls, that's 15 lairs, totaling about 380k. In merit PvE (seeking how big a thingy you can kill), I've found that one graul can hold off 2 dune Kimos for long enough for me to put all 4 burns on both Kimos (about 1 minute. I've never had success with the Kimos being close enough for Cone to hit both), then run like a schoolgirl until the graul dies and the kimos burn down. Couple all this with PetStim C's healing for upwards of 720 each and standard Stimpack B's which I average about 550 with, and I can keep those Grauls alive through pretty much anything. (Remember, Graul Maulersonly take one-eighth normal PvE damage due to armor and resists.)

Gore you are full of **edit** !


for a rancor (any rancor , gnarled ot regular )


u need taming 4 and training 4 ( fully grown) and my god the bst tanks in the game are Graul Maulers not rancors! Rancors are best for PvP along with Gurreks and Bloodseekers , But graul maulers and GSP's are best for PvE , why u ask?


simple , PvE do Kinetic DMG as in hit you...


graul maulers are 75% resis to kinetic plus light armor , GSP's are 60% to kinetic .

That's just total cheese.


I like cheese, all varieties of cheese, and if anything to do with Commando is associated with cheese then I am even happier with my chosen profession because I like cheese!


And no, I am not a fatty.

Personally, I wish non CHs could have 0 pets no pets none.


And, CHs pets where lvl 30 max.


That would balance a bit more






I agree with this. Pets are far too important in this game. In PvE, either you have CH as a side class, or you're inferior.

An AT-ST is the most totally unbalanced piece of fecal mater in the game, and using it to hunt with is what is causing the screams of multiples of players that the thing needs to be nerfed into relative oblivion.


If you want to use a CH pet, that's fine. If you aren't a CH, and you have a non-CH pet you want to sacrifice that is fine, but using a over-powered weapon that was meant for the battle field to go off to make credits and earn experience at a rate that most players couldn't get close to just shows you to be the type of player that should be an Imperial.


If you can't take the heat of a planet like Dathomir, then don't go there and use your cheesey get-rich-quick schemes. Get some friends, go hunt in a group, and provide the close order support to the group that the class was designed for.


Don't go solo-ing in areas where you don't belong and use exploits that gets the balance of power in the GCW shifted to the Rebel side because your faction pet was being used in places it didn't belong.


Personally - I hope that the devs nerf the AT-STs to the point that Baz Nitches (and similar creatures) can permadeath one within one nest worth. If that happens, I'll laugh like there's no tomorrow. Especially if the same creatures wind up not affecting normal CH pets.

Get and AT-ST. An AT-ST and a Master Commando is death and destruction marching.


While the creatures aggro to my AT-ST, I have been hittingthem (up to five so far)with flame cone 2 doing 4000-5000 plus the dot effect on all of them. It takes a couple of seconds to take five baz nitches down. This works great for harvesting, making money(nightsister missions are 20K), and xp.


This is why I became a commando to be a support person doing massive damage. I hit a nightsister initiate for 24500 with my rocket launcher that is awesome.


Without the AT-ST I wouldn't be able to even do a mission on Dathomir without cloning seven times.


The commando is a support profession.
