Thread: What skills to Commando?
If you are interested in having Medic skills I would recommend 4/0/4/0. In my opinion Pharmacology is more important than Diagnostics. When I had this setup I liked being able to fully heal my Health and Action with one stimpack use rather than having to heal myself 2-3 times. Pharm 4 will allow you to use Stim Cs or low use Stim Ds. Don't waste points on crafting meds though if you aren't going to move up to Doctor or CM.
My preferred template IF you don't plan on mastering TKA is:
Master Commando
TKA 0/0/0/4
Medic 2/0/4/0
Scout 3/0/0/0
You will have 1 point left. This template (with the current TC changes) will allow you to have excellent defenses, good heals, and terrain negotiation.
First thing...go set up an account at: http://swg.allakhazam.com/
At that site you can plan out your character with the exact number of skill points tabulated.
For me, my ending character will be:
Commando 4|4|4|4
TKA 0|0|0|4 (Because of the Melee Def Mods on the Test Center)
Pistoleer 0|0|0|4 (Because of the Melee Def Mods on the Test Center)
Medic 0|0|3|0 (This way you can use stim c's...although I've just obtained some stim b's that are almost as good so might drop down to Medic Novce)
Scout 1|0|0|0 (until mounts come out...then scout is gone and the rest goes into pistoleer 0|0|4|4 or TKA 0|4|0|4)
With the idea of melee and ranged mitigation, combined with over 100+ melee defenses, this should create a character that is hard to hit and takes damage well...I should be able to last long enough to score some valuable hits and dots in stackable flames/bleeds.
No scout is kinda annyoing, but it's just convenience really, not worth to tie up so many skill points that would boost your combat skills by quite a bit.
This is my template and I have yet to be beaten in a duel and can solo in any planet, heck u can even solo krayts if u know how to use your skills correctly.
Master Commando
Smuggler 0040 (all the dirty fighting specials are a must)
Pistoleer 0044
TKA 0100
Novice Medic
