Hey guys,


Just wanted to see if you guys had any advice. Here's my setup now:


Master Commando

Bounty Hunter 2/1/0/4

Novice Medic

Scout 4/0/0/0

Master Marksman


Here's what I was going for:


Master Commando

Bounty Hunter 4/4/0/4

Scout 4/0/0/0

Master Marksman


Now, originally I was going to sacrifice medic for the carbines tree of BH. But, after trying carbines extensively in the squill cave, a problem dawned upon me. Underhand shot and the other BH Carb specials are really useful, but carbines have insane HAM costs (props to the flamer for loooow HAM costs). Using carbines unbuffed without any medic would literally be suicide (even a lot of stuff is suicide w/o buffs =P).


So, in order to keep medic and gain the carbines tree, I must sacrifice the LLC tree. But, I have yet to weigh the pros and cons of having LLC vs. BH carbines tree. I was wondering if you guys had any advice for me on which is more useful in general. I see the BH carb line is very useful for PvP (especially w/ player bounties), but LLC just feels more commando-style.


I know that the simple answer would be to keep the BH stuff and just get buffed, but I just like the thought of independence from having to get buffed.


Just wondering if you guys have any advice for me, thanks for bearing through my long windedness.


Thanks guys!

Hehehe....


Sorry...


Anyway, I like your original template, but as you stated, carbines are a bit FUBAR right now. If you want the best of both worlds I'd suggest


  • Master Commando (Of Course! )

  • Bounty Hunter 4/0/4/4

Our blast damage LP and the acid damage Scatter both work well with eyeshot. They also give you versitility. The LLC is a long range bonus. The FT is nice close up. You can also use consumables in certain specific situations. Not a bad template!


Just watch out for Melee. This will be your bane (more times then not).
