Commando Archive

MCommando, MRifles, MMarksman(for accuracy), Pistols 0003. Gives you damage with Rifleman specials, an area snare with Kneecap shot + AOE weapon of choice, an area root with Stopping Shot + AOE weapon, and area knockdown (RL + fanshot). You get cover for setting ambushes. You get aim for some more accuracy. You get assault and recon armor certs. You DON'T get great defenses, but CoB form novice brawler helps. You DON'T get healing(use stims and ruby bliel).

The fun thing is rooting and then snaring a whole group of baddies, then finishing them with your rifleman specials. Of course, you might try subbing smuggler for one of these professions and get concussion shot (mezz). Then you can try an AOE KD folowed by an AOE mezz.

Master Commando/Master Smuggler and Rifles 44xx for the fun stuff (you are gonna lack alot of rifles speed but use aproton rifle instead).

love using advanced concussion shot using an AOE commando weap

you stil can use rifles or a proton rifle for cover and snipe stuff

Thanks for the great Idea's so far, Does anyone else have any suggestions?

"Right now I am a Master Commando / Master Carbineer and I am thinking about respecing

I want to do something fun and am thinking about respecing to a Master Commando / Master Creature Handler"

MC-MC-0404 Pistoleer template I used and Im pretty effective by myself as well in groups (if you can use the AoE to your advantage)

I don't think any of us would recomend CH whatsoever, namely as we need ranged specials to even achieve our role (read: ranged specials from other professions unfortunately!).

Don't do it! I respec'd to a MCH/Master Commando. This toon is absolutely horrible. I have no specials whatsoever and I don't do spit for damage. My pets don't hold aggro so I pretty much get eaten up whenever I try to fight something my level.

I figured I had never played either of these professions before so I would give it a try especially with the new CH changes. I love the CH part but damn you commandos must have it rough. I can't see how you have survived with having to rely on other profession specials.

Hoping for another Respec.

You get excellent defenses, Improved Duelist Stance (adds another 250 defenses), knockdowns, roots, as well as some great status effect shots, and real decent damage. It can hold it's own quite well in PvE, but has the possibility of bringing a bit too much heat on you if you don't control your AE properly. This template, if used correctly, can really play well in PvP...

This template has been devastating for me in PvP in two ways:

1) Crowd control: Nothing says 'Sit down and shut the F&*% up' like a Fan Shot from a Rocket Launcher. And if they happen to get in close, and you've got a team of melee killers on your side? Holdthe enemyin place for 30 seconds with Improved Stopping Shot with a PFT, and let your melee team go to work. Also, Improved Confusion Shot with an AE weapon is great for laying on the status effects on everyone.

2) Damage: When you start landing Advanced Critical Shots with heavy weapons... trust me, people will notice. Jedi love to get you in melee range... whip out your PFT and make 'em pay for it! They'll think twice about rushing you.

The downsides of this template are:

1) Lack of status recoveries: You get KD andBlind Recovery, but no Dizzy or Stun. If Stun ever gets fixed and starts doing what they say it's supposed to, you might be in trouble.

2) Aggro Beast: This template generates LOTS of aggro, especially in PvP. You'll soon find that you become the... 'object of affection', as I like to call it... when you're KD'ing / rooting 20 people at a time. You make it to the top of people's hit lists very quickly.

Just my $.02

This is my current Template, except I got some nice clothing attachments with Heavey Weapons acc +10, Gernade Thrown Acc +15, I applied them to a shirt, plus I got 2 defense rings +10 melee defense. I love the KD from BH, its a damn good KD, the Pistoleer 0-0-0-4 snare with PFT does wonders.I find this the best template, and you can do bounties and make massive amounts of $$$.
