Without using grenades, is commando a good way to grind FS trees?

Hard to say as I haven't done the FS grind yet on the live servers...
A key thing to remember though is that Commandos are capp'd at 3.5K in xp per kill where as other combat professions tend to be capp'd at 5K in xp per kill...so in otherwords, seems to me that other professions would earn XP at a faster rate (our Combat XP bonus via our grenades is our "perk" in this case to make up for the cap).

I'm a M.Commando/TKM, I max out on my Heavy Weapons Exp cap way before I max out on my TKM. But then again I am not living and breathing the FS grind. TKM when I am trying to exp is quite faster when buffed. Commando is good for when just doing missions.

3.5k? how? off what? the best I have EVER got was 3031, and I was happy about that. useualy I get around 2800-2900. I only get 3k off somthing with at least 10k, but then I don't fight alot of stuff with 10k+ ham if they're ham is lower than say 200k, (acklay, Goraxs, Krayts, Kimos ect...)

I havn't gotten 3.5k before either. Its kind of strange though, i think they have bugged the XP for quenkers and stuff...I get more XP from a regular quenker then I do from a savage quenker now.

Use the grenades. 'nades are quicker and(last I looked) give combat XP for a 3:1 trade in value. while theFlamer takes longer to kill and give HW XP at a (I think) 50:1 trade in.
Just make certain your buffed and have eaten a sno cake.

Depends on how you kill them, if they have fire burning them you'll get less xp. Kill something with your launcher pistol without bleeding or use your flamethrower without specials and you should get more xp. I mean it wouldn't make much since to do that, just letting ya know thats why most of the time we commandos get 3k instead of 3.5k or more.
