Thread: Which will be better after the CU: Commando/Pistoleer or Commando/Carbineer.
Seriously...the only answer I can give, without violating the NDA, is...depends on your play style...both Carbineer and Pistoleer with "compliment" Commandos...and Commando will "compliment" both Pistoleers and Carbineers...

I guess what I mean is that I PRAY professions don't HAVE to be stacked with others to be of use, as is the current case with most ranged templates.
Stacking now and Stacking then will be 2 different animals...currently most people stack to gain defenses or some other element that relates to their preferred profession...Commandos often stack for defenses and ranged attack abilities (which requires us to use non-Commando weapons or go for skills we can use with our LP)...
Stacking in the future will be more towards complimenting our play style...without risking TH using a sniper rifle on me, I'll say that a Commando without anything else will be a valid player, but any 250 pt combat template will own the lone Commando...a Commando who spends ALL of their skill points will hae a better chance competing with other 250 pt professions, and depending on the other players build, could even own that type...
Stacking will become more of a way to "polish" and add to your preferred profession. In a way...spending all of your Skill Points will "complete" your template...and every combat profession will have it's own strengths and weaknesses...combining those strengths and weaknesses will make for very interesting builds...but not every build will be able to exploit every weakness, so in other-words...we will own and we will be owned...it's all in the "build"...
