Hello all,

I've become bored lately in game. I have been a MBH ever since I got this game, which has been about 4 months now. Tired of all the excuses Jedi give me while they are loading into the nearest cloning center..."I was tabbed out installing a new OS, I was AFK, I was lagging too bad..." yeah yeah yeah...look I have an E Machine and if your lag is worse than mine....I'd respec to a crafter....

ANYWAY...I've decided to go commando. I'm currently 2/2/1/2 with something like 0/1/0/4 pistols 0/4/4/0 carbs 3/0/0/0 smug....the rest still in combat medic..

I like the profession so far....WAY slower than I'm use to, but that's understandable... but I've read in these theads about all the AoE that you can do with commando weapons... In the past 2 days of grinding my temp out, I've only had an AoE happen 1 time. It was the stopping shot, and it affected the creature that was in front of me, attacking me...and another creature like 45m out...I don't understand this...is the AoE a random thing? Does it happen more the more commando skills you have? I'm using a Corellian Destoryer ATM, along with a HPBC and the ASL...the radius on all these weapons are 6....is that 6m on either side of me up to my max range?

Also when using my ASL...when my target is too close...the acid splashes back at me...blinding me...I was wondering during PvP...will this "splash back" effect friendly players....and will the flame thrower catch other friendly players on fire as well if they are in front of me when I fire?

Sorry this seemed so long...I enjoy the profession so far...and really just want to be a great help over all during PvP...so if I'm doing something wrong...or if I'm missunderstanding the whole AoE thing please let me know.

its the type of weapon... read the info on each of the guns... like the rocket launcher KDs everything you hit, and the flamethrower sets fires (duh) the launcher pistol hits anything within 5m of the target, so thats pretty cool

Commando profession is basically an AoE profession and like Nevet was saying the amount of XP you gain from it is dependent on the type of weapon you're using. Launcher Pistol is good to begin with but causes a hell of a lot of lag. Rocket Launcher knocks down an opponent for some time whileAcid Rifles Blind your opponent (and you if you stand too close!)

If you want xp real quick you need to get yourself to a level where you can use the flamethrower as you can do serious damage not just to the enemy you've targeted but to everyone else around your target (especially if your target has been set alight). Keep in mind however that you become a prime target if you don't have any tanks around you to take the damage and when they come you pretty much don't stand a chance of surviving it even with composite armor on.

Thanks for the info...sry I didn't respond sooner...been away for awhile...

Today I just master Commando...along with Carbs....I really don't know what the profession was like pre-CU...since I only got to play about a week before it. But I think this profession rocks! My plasma flame thrower puts DoTs on everything in it's path..which are ticking for like 325-350...not to mention it hits for around 500 against lvl 82s...even the grenades....they do alot of damage...and the knockdown for the Imperial ones...nothing like seeing 20 pikets getting knocked on their bums..

I believe I have found my perfect temp...one that I can have fun with...and roleplay with.

I'm proud to be amongst my fellow brothers in arms...The Commandos!
