Commando Archive

In keeping with the commando name, I would like to have a weapon for every situation. I'm wondering what line I should get to use with my launcher pistol. Should I go smuggler and use the dirty fighting line, or should i go pistoleer and go with the line that has all the nice pistol damage specials (can't remember what line it is). With the AT-ST becoming blast vulnerable and other critters that way also, I want to be prepared. Any and all tips and advice is welcome.

Inoch,

The trando Commando

Well I'm not a commando yet, almost there still need to get my last marksman skills, but being a smuggler I'd say you might want to go the pistoleer route only because you'll get added mods to your pistol skills, or defense stats depending on which route you take. The dirty fighting line only give feign death, which is useful, but won't fool players, unless you find out the tricks for using it. If I had more points i'd probally take all three.

My original/current build with Eaollus was Master Smuggler, Master Commando and 0/3/0/0 in Pistoleer.

Both Commando and Smuggler have intrigued me as classes since about a month after this game launched, and it's taken me since then to get to Novice Smuggler and 25,000 combat exp. :-)

Anyways, I figured this way I'd have the high damage of Last Ditch, the extra accuracy from the Pistoleer line (not to mention the extra bleed) and the ability to say that I rock since I made Master Commando. That just sounds nice, kudos to all you Masters out there.

Also, I've heard some rumors about some possibility of a dual wielding skill over in the pistoleer forums, and by best guess and mostly at random I've decided that if it gets added, it'll probably get added to the second Pistoleer line, which currently has no specials.

Hope that helps.

They will not be adding dual wielding for pistols anytime soon, or at all. They haven't even balanced out the weapons they have in game yet let alone let pistoleer's do extra damage duel wielding.

I'm not a Commando yet, I still need to master Carbines, but I am a Novice Pistoleer and trying to plan my career path out from here. I have considered mastering Pistoleer, but I"m wondering how much I'll be using my pistol once I get my Commando skills up high enough to be effective. Will I use my Launcher Pistol once Flamethrower hits level 4? I was thinking that because of the huge delays associated witht he heavy weapons that my pistol could still be useful, but then I'll be splitting combat experience all over the place. I've also considered Squad Leaderbut I'm not sure how useful it would be. Medic is always tempting as well, at least soem trees of it. Right now I'm PvE but plan on switchinf to PvP once I get a little tougher. Any suggestions?
