Master Commando

Medic (0,0,0,0)

Entertainer (0,0,4,4)

Dancer (1,0,3,0)

Currently I am

Commando (1,0,2,0)

Medic (2,0,0,2)

Scout (0,0,0,0)

Entertainer (0,0,4,4)

Dancer (4,0,4,0)

And I forget how many skill points I got free at the moment.

I Have scout for camps to make my Commando exp grinding easier since I'm a casual solo'er. (Hence me having not gone far in the commando trees, and I've been one pre-LP fix) I like dancing, and while I don't want to fully give it up. I will be surrending skills in it so I can master Commando.

I'm tired of all these people that just go commando for the flamethrower. I went commando without even knowing what the hell the flamethrower really did. I went because I heard it was hard to master and that it was fun. People scream about us going to be nerfed, and as long as you people keep gaining commando just to go 0-0-4-0, the **edit** thing is going to get nerfed. If everyone went into the same class that had one strong tree and that's the only tree people gained they're definately going to notice it and nerf it (WHICH IS WHAT IS HAPPENING!!) In closing, don't ruin it for those of us that want to walk around with Master Commando in our titles. If you don't want to max commando, find something else to do. We want to keep our flamethrowers.

Well I just reached Commando last night but here is my plan.

1. Master commando.

2. hold novice pistoleer for health shot 2 as long as i can. when i run out or points I'll dump it for another CH level.

3. get as close to master CH as possilble. I think I'll be short by like 3 points.

4. and retain my med skills enough to use stim b's.

I figure this give me the best weapons and some cool support creatures to help with keeping things back so my time between shots doesn't hurt me. And when the fight is done I can heal up and look for more action.

Im amazed I dont see Squad Leaders here!

Commando 0/4/0/4 (All heavy weapons, acid rifle)

Squad Leader 1/4/3/4 (+25 group terrain negotiation, Steady Aim (+10 to hit bonus active ability, lasts about 3 rounds of combat per player), Volley Fire (direct group's fire at 1 target), +25 group melee defense, +30 group ranged defense)

Tera Kasi 0/1/1/0: Combat Equilibrium+20 (resist posture change), Defense vs Blind+10, Defense vs Knockdown+10,big boosts to unarmed damage (like +50 unarmed damage), vibro knuckler certification, Knockdown and dizzy attacks.

Points left over: 0

This template lets the commando not only kick arse with its own weapons, but boost his own weapon ability and defenses via squad leader and to boot have the extra melee defenses and melee abilities and damage of a teras kasi.. you know, for when you gotta pack the gun and shove a fist down their throats.

Master Commando

Rifleman 2.0.0.0

Swordsman 0.1.0.0

with Novice Medic, and Exploration 4 on the side

The ultimate template of Death and Stealth: Master Smuggler, Master Commando, Novice Medic. Smuggler pistol specials with the launcher, Feign Death, Flamethrower, Grenades, Spice, Slice, and small heals with good stim B's. After I finish Mastering Commando I will be complete. :-)

Dirty Fighting to 4

Might mess around with the medic stuff but stim 3s are awsome to have

Hell you can get b's that heal for 350

My suggestion is to not take any org chemistry. Docs can make those great B's, and you can buy them. They'll be better than what you can make. And 350 is the minimum--they can heal up to 800ish. It's just random and I think partly based on your First Aid. Also, Pharm I doesn't get you anything, I thnk you have to get to III to use C's. A novice can use B's. Explore IV only improves burst run efficiency, so you might consider only taking it up to III.

I also did Smuggler Dirty Fighting IV. If you PVP, you might consider getting Underworld II. That also gives you 10% less cost on faction stuff, and it also reduces how much faction you lose when killed in PVP.

I am no where near this result, however, I believe this is how I will end up!

Commando = 5 (4, 4, 4, 4)

Marksman = 5 (4, 4, 4, 4 of course)

Brawler = 4, 0, 0, 0

Medic = 0, 0, 0, 0

Scout = 4, 0 , 4, 0

Creature Handler = 1, 1, 0, 0

Anyone able to answer if TKA defense abilitys assist you when your holding a heavy weapon. If so, would that mean the Pistol skill defenses would apply when you are fighting hand to hand?

K, Commando Master is a must eventually of course. The medic skill is for the same reason everyone else uses it for. I solo alot and require medical assistance. Scout was needed for Creature handler. CH provides me with a tank thereby buying me time to use the flavor of weapon I choose atm.

I thought about going with Master TKA and droping Scout but Explorer is almost a necessary evil. I can not find SoW potions any where.

Till some of the smuggler issues are fixed I'm not going to master commando. Once those issues are resolved I'm mastering Comando and Smuggler with the last of my points into something else. Till then I'm doing the following.

Commando 0/0/4/1

Smuggler 0/4/4/0

CH 2/2/0/3 - so I can play with 2 cowerdly Gurrecks

Novice Pistoleer

Zero points left

Like I said once some of the smuggler issues are better, I'll do this.

Master Commando

Master Smuggler

Pistoleer 0/0/0/3

Zero points left

this is going to take me a while(note my sig forwhat I am now)but im going to end up like this.

Commando: FlameThrower 4 and either Acid Rifle 4 or Field 4

Creature Handler: Taming/Training 4 so I can use a Toxic battlelord (10k ham, 340-380 2.0 ranged and posion)

Medic: First aid 3, Pharm 3

Along with being able to get Master Commando, I have 0/0/4/3 skillsin the Pistoleer tree, 0/0/4/2 skillsin the Rifleman tree, and 0/0/2/0 skillsin the Carbineer tree. Very good defense modifiers... if they'd finally change the Flamethrower tobe aranged weapon instead of a melee. I will have 0/0/4/4 in Rifleman sooner or later though.
