Commando Archive

Me again - your help is still very much appreciated - here we go

I intend to master commando - regardless of the nerfs and all the other stuff - my question is while crawling up the commando tree - which i have a pretty good feel for now - how far am i able to go on other trees with having alot of exp points used up in master marksman and unarmed as well. I have my first level tiers in CH as well as a few of the second tiers, and really enjoy that route - i feel it is great for both soloing and assisting the guild, (archidian), it is also good for PvP too. but i find myself with about 28 points left over. Im all about giving up my medic skills for this endeavor as well - Ivoni - what do ya think? Am i able to master CH as well? or close -

I dont quite understand how the TKA thing is going to benefit me as a commando but am eager to learn how - i just remember how much unarmed sucked, although staying the coarse made that beer taste all the better when i finally got it done. (accomplishing that on a paramedics schedule, with a newborn and a wife who is a SWG addict as well is something to write home about hehe).

so please send me your thoughts - bunny slayer - gonna miss you as a commando - although i think youll be a credit to the jedi profession as well - just wish youd stay - but thanks for all your help, it really helped quite a bit. i really believe while your shaking your thing on the dance floor, old commando memories will come about when a few rounds fall out of your pocket, or a side arm flys across the room while doing a flourish - hehe

thanks again all

By the way - wasabis mall north of moenia is selling extremely good rocket launchers at 25k a piece(34 charges) - they seem to work real well - heres to the biggest boom!!!

Right now I am Master Commando and I have 4-3-0-0 in CH. I have enough points to gain 4-4-0-0 CH and will have 2 points left over which I cant use anywhere.

If u want to hold your own you need good defense:

Master commando

TKA 0404

Pistoleer 0043

Novice Medic

*this is my template, Im very deadly not just in PvE, but in PvP. If u go CH with all your points u are dead, plain and simple. With no defense any smart playing will bypass your pet and kill u, with relative ease.

**get a cowardly gurrek, its all you really need

Master Commando of Invictus

Bull. Having a big fat tank is WAY more important in PvE than you know. Sure, you can kill, say, a Torton if you have a CGurreck for a pet, but not much more. If you go up CH just to 3-2-0-0, you can pull a Graul Mauler, which is all the pet you'll ever need. They're good enough tanks to allow you the time you need to kill basically /everything/ out there, albiet in some situations you will need to sit back and watch it die while you let your flames do their work.

Tactics and pet-bypassing don't mean crap in a PvE setting - only in PvP do pets become relatively useless.

Personally, for PvE, having a pet is very very powerful, I don't know if anyone else has seen a Master CH who has Flame IV, I have, two graul maulers and Flame IV watched him walk to a nightsister lair, send in the grauls, then go and light everything on fire, come back out and watched them all burn. No risk at all.

Personally, I STILL love having feign death. I dont believe in using pets for combat as a commando, but that's just me, f you want to be CH as well, feel free, I wont flame you cause I'll admit to using a pet on my way to Master Commando.

Right now I'm working on TK, having TK defense bonuses mixed with the +25 melee and ranged for Master (if it ever goes live, but it looks promising on the TC) should be sweet.

Oh.. and a note.. feign death in the smuggler tree is the bomb.... I've used it to solo Krayts, Kimo's, Rancors, Nightsisters, even a Dark Jedi Knight...

My two cents

ok let me just say this right now there r a few things u need alot when it commes down to commandos

1 a way to get away from mobs after u burn ad waiting for dot to kill

there 2 things that work for this-A- fd from smugler verey us full or -B- a pet but some times they wolunt attack ur pet so i say fd batter

2 a way to get in 16m of ur target so u can burn

only one way i know to do this is use a kd and brun up {u can get lowblow a kd shot from smugler to}

3 a way for u to be abel to dealy ur target long enough to use burn and swich weps

theres many way to do this -A- saprasion fire wich u get in marks men {but not some animels still can attack when kneeling so this isint the best u can have} -B- a pet {but onec agen some thims they attack u ensted of ur pet } -C- a kd {wich works but just like saprasion fire some animels seem to hit u even when there down } -D- panick shot {it delys ur target for 10 secs enogh time to burn swich weps and get rady for there attack ...... but it seems to be buged some times and only last for 5 secs }

as for tka i find it use full and yes unarmed xp is anoying but u just get into tka and go 0/0/0/4 and u dont have to wory about unarmed xp its all combat xp wich is esy to get with gernads that sid gives u about +30 rang and melee def wich is a asom + for any profesion
