Commando Archive

Rifleman is the strongest by far. You would get access to energy, stun, cold and acid damage types. As a master rifleman/master commando i find myself using my FT a lot for low level stuff mostly, like grinding missions for fp or credits. But against high lvl mobs i find myself always relaying on my rifles. You wouldnt be effective with a launcher pistol however, which is the main benefit of going pistoleer/commando, but if you dont mind using expensive rockets to do blast damage you'll be ok. The only thing i use rockets are on certain nightsister, anything else i ran into i can deal with my rifles or my FT easily enough.

I would go with smuggler 0040 (cant beat low blow and panic shot), TKA 2004for power boost and the pile of ranged and melee defense and that will still leave you with enough pts to get whatever 4/3 combo from pistoleer tickles your fancy.
