Commando Archive

Ok i just started comando, have wanted it from day 1 and im extatic.At the moment im at 0-0-1-0 and would like to know a great template to be a good solo char (since i dont get to play much groups are hard to come by). Thanks for all you help and please post why it would be a good template so im not guessing

I've heard TKA and Commando, or Pistoleer Commando, go well together. After the patch I would choose the latter, because of the Mitigation in an upcoming patch. But I'm not even a Commando yet, so... Take it or leave it.

Tka/Commando was very favorable..at least until this next patch...with tka commandos got ALOT of melee def, which helped against the 2.5X melee penality

however as the above post states, Pistoleer/Commando will presumably become the best because of mitigation...

i was smart , went pistoleer..and pistol techniques in fact -- where ranged mitigation 1 + 2 are (ranged 3 is master)

in order to get 1 + 2, you need at least pistol techniques III, but theres also yet another advantage (especially after last patch when pistoleer def mods were upped)..you dont get much or if any ranged/melee def..but you get ALOT of nice def mods vs (state inducing thingy)...pistol techniques alone has i believe +40 def vs KD -- and also the best pistoleer specials are in techniques as well..so your LP benefits...the only two disadvantages are you wont get many or if any ranged/melee def mods (aside from mitigation) and your pistol spd/accuracy will still be that of a master marksman...but i would surely say that the advantages outweigh these two

I love this template, its great for solo'ing and works well in groups. Eventually, I'll only be able to use a Graul mauler instead of an Arachne Webmaster or Toxic Merek Battlelord after the CH changes are implemented.

I use a 2 hr Doc buff and a 2 hr mind buff when I can find an entertainer to do it right. I use stim A's to heal myself when I'm alone, but my FT doesnt cost hardly any HAM and I rarely take damage from MOB's and I use Pet stim B's 800+ to heal my pet, although with FlameCone2 that isnt a problem either.

As for PvP, there are argueably better templates, but between my pet and my FT, I havent had any problems.

But if PvP is your primary purpose, I'd suggest the Dabbler:

Master Pistoleer - All kinds of great specials and mod's

Smuggler 0/0/4/0 - Low Blow and Last Ditch ( Ilike BS 3more than LD or SS) so you could go (0/0/3/0)

Commando 0/0/4/0 - Flame Single 2

Master Marksman

Scout 3/0/0/0 - Terrain Negotiation

Brawler4/0/0/0

Medic 1/0/0/0 - Stim B's or(1/1/0/0) if you dont get LD

Good luck...
