Commando Archive

Hi

I´m near master commando right now, i´m dropping my currents Ch skill to zero and scout too(i don´t like to be nerfed in CH nerf), so now i have a few skill points to use in other professions. My question is: What is the best to choose?

1. Pistoler (what tree)?
2. Smuggler (what tree)?
3. Medic (now i have novice and one of the first skills)
4. TKA?

Thanks for all

The question comes down to how you like to play the game...do you play more PvP or more PvE? Do you like going solo or playing in a group?

For me I went TKA / Commando...this combination creates a nice TANK out of a player with heavy defenses and nice close range specials...TKA also gives you a Dizzy/KD (follow that up with a flame special and bye bye)....But the weakenss of this combo is that range...Ranged Professions can kite this combo outside 16m and have a good chance of winning...Other's who have tired this combo have added a ranged option with their final pts remaining (Smuggler or Pistoleer typically)...I'm not sure how well this combo works for PvP, but it is great for PvE.

Commando / Pistoleer or Smuggler or Rifleman....this is also a good combination...especially when dealing with other Ranged Professions...but opposite to the above combo, this one seems to have a weakness of Melee Professions. Personally I like the idea of this combo for a player who like PvP over PvE (but I'm not the expert since I've never played this combo)...

Depends on your gameplay and what you want to do.

Keep in mind that as commando, you must get into melee range. That leaves you vulnerable to both melee and ranged opponents. You can be kited or melee'd down easily by ranged and melee classes.

If you take a rifleman or carbineer or pistoleer you gain the ranged ability, but you are still vulnerable in melee range...which, as a commando, is where you want to be.

If you take a melee proffession, your survivability when attacking as a commando increases dramatically. But your ranged combat leaves you vulnerable.

As of this day, I would only reccomend you take a master melee proffession along with commando. Its almost a must do.

The obvious choices for this melee class are either Teras Kasi (for the incredible utility of meditate and the knockdown ability and ranged+melee defenses) or Swordman (only if you into hunting atst's.. to have blast damage melee ability is gold).

Garvin and I went Master Teras Kasi and Master Commando. Im taking Smuggler dirty fighting3 because it gives the commando the ability to close into melee range by using a ranged weapon (nicely too, its a pistol. we can use our commando LP for that).
