So i'm looking at my alts template, she's a support char - Master Smuggler / Master CM / and pistoleer 0004 and then it hit me - I have the prerequisites for commando as well as pistoleer ... so why not ditch that pistoleer 0004 in favour of a line of commando - I really fancy the idea of concussion shotting entire groups of people, or an AOE last ditch.

So my question is this ... what line of commando should i go for? and why? bearing in mind that what i want is anAOE weapon

Thanks in advance!

If you want the ae effect and still have a decent dps weapon, i d say HeavyBeam IV for the lightning cannon(fire dot), you get good heavy accuracy bonus along with good general accuracy .(+35 gen acc, +25 heavy acc , +10 heavy defense),add 10 gen acc and 5 gen speed from novice comm

Only downside is no speed bonus in that line, speed bonuses are into incendiary and acid lines.If you can only spendsp in one line, my prefered is definatly heavy beam.

If you dont care about damages but just ae effect you want to go HeavyIncendiary to use rocketlauncher(ae kd ) for speed, but low damages and no accuracy . ( good heavy speed and heavy def/ no general bonus ) --> at this point you really only need first box to get launcher cert.

Edit: not sure if lightning cannon will do good with concussion due to dot, might be only viable with stopping shot

I was just logging in to ask this very question... Im a master smuggler, master BH, and at the moment have 4000 for the defences, and the dream that one day grenades will actually make a difference.

As i group PvP alot, I've been reacently thinking of switching to a tree with an AE weapon, BH Critical shot with an AE weapon might be nice, or even AE concussion shot.

Or i might drop comando and just go 0200 medic

Any thoughts or input?

EDIT: 4000 comando that is

Nothing beats the ASL for AOE states and crowd control. Go for the line with that in it. I forgot if it was the Acid line for the Beam Weapons line as the pre-CU/CU switch still messes with me from time to time.

just FYI...

Those attack will hit mutiple targets... but unfortunally, they will only hit your main target for the extra dmg. The other mobs will only be hit by the elemental dmg - resist. This is nice for state attacks (blind, KD, root, disarm (IF DISARM WASN'T BORKED WITH PUBLISH 21) etc.. but not so nice for dmg.
