I have ractivated my account after a long break (I vaguely remember hearing about mounts and the first FS slots being opened) and was pleased to see that my wookiee still exists, but with significant changes. As both Commando and TKA have been hit hard by the recent CU I was curious if I should respec to MCommando and a combo of Pistoleer/Smuggler/Carbineer?
I like the defensive abilities of TKA (one slot shy of master atm) are rather nice (CoB, PowerBoost, and TIA), but I feel that Commando needs some ranged special attacks from other professions to really make it shine in its current form.
Is anyone using Commando/TKA, or is it just not worth it? Commando/TKA/Smuggler seem like they could copliment each other nicely, (for the unarmed/defensive bonuses from each, and also to add a few ranged specials from Smuggler to Commando weapons) but I am not sure how far in each tree someone could get with the limited skill points.
Any advice?

I would strongly recomend not being a split Melee/Range.
It uses up alot more Skill points and you loose the main thing in the CU which is the universal Range and Melee Specials.

I agree here. Although I had TKA and Commando back "in the day", with the loss of /flame specials, commando's are forced to take up some other combat profession to give them something to do other than auto-attack. Note also that you may consider keeping TKM for a bit until you get used to the game again. It would keep you from having to immediately get new weapons and armor in order to be marginally effective.

Well after a bit more reading and the responses I have used my respec and shifted to MCommando/MBH and will be grinding out some pistols to get smuggler1/-/-/3 for the specials. BH had good overall defenses and also General Ranged Speed, which at present, I have faster stats with my hvy weapons than I do most of my others. TKA was great back in the day, but after a bit of testing, I could see that it would be good for a dedicated melee, but commando does need the ranged specials.
Thanks for the input
