I would suggest, play how you feel like it. That's really the best suggestion I can give you. My first class was commando, which I mastered. Was nice, but far from being powerful. My favorite class combo was Master Fencer/Master Doc. That way, I could keep myself buffed and healed, while dealing out ok damage, avoiding most of it. Doc/TKA is another pretty good combo.
I hardly ever stacked the flamedots when fighting. Most things I fought was while grouped, after I got 1 flamesingle off, the master rifleman would have it dead.

I became a Novice Commando yesterday and I must say that I love it! I am kind of lucky in a way because I never really got to see the stacking of DOTs that was just nerfed. After 3 playing sessions of casual hunting, I am approaching FT3 and will have it this evening. I decided to take up Commando so that I could travel wherever I needed to harvest Meat, Bone, and Hide from various types of animals all over the different planets. I guess you could say I have an in game partner that has a need for the supplies and I supply them for him. In turn, I get a rather healthy share of the profits he earns from the resources. My ability to kill fast and effectively results in a higher profit for me. Now that you know a little about me, I am seeking advice or comments about the following questions below. Here is where my current skill placement lies.
Brawler: 1-0-0-0
Marksman: 4-4-4-4
Medic: Novice
Scout: 4-0-4-0
Commando: 0-0-2-0
Creature Handler:2-2-2-2
Pistoleer: Novice
Points Left:23
Question #1: I have noticed that when buffed, my pet is of little use to me on the fights I have done so far. He is lvl 27 with low armor, 44 Kinetic, and 10.5K HAM. He is one tough pet for the level. Do you guys have CH skills or find the need for them in the field? CH skills took a long time for me to level up as a Newbie. I do not want to make a decision in haste here.
Question #2: I am still a Newbie. I have only played SWG for about 3 weeks now. Is there a benefit other than bragging rights to get Master Commando? I hear so many players complain that FT is the only good weapon we have.
Question #3: After reading my opening paragraph and seeing my skill placement, do you have any advice or constructive criticism to give? Fast and efficient killer is my main goal here.
Question #4: How I fight with current skill setup. Engage mob by first using Aim the FlameSingle1 or FlameCone1 depending on situations. Once Flame DOT lands, I switch to Launcher Pistol inflict Bleed with HealthShot2, and then spam BodyShot2 until mob is dead. This seems to work pretty fast. Is this how most of you do (or did) it at my level?
Questions #5: I got my Flame Thrower sliced for 22% speed today. I use that, my Launcher Pistol, and my DX2 Pistol for acid damage. Are there any other or different weapons you recommend I try or carry?
That is all I can think of for now. Any advice or experiences you can share with me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
