Commando Archive

Hallo,

I realy need help with this, you probably get this question all the time though...

I've stuggled with this for a long time... Bounty Hunter or Commando?

Please help me, which is most fun to play in length, and which one is the most powerful?

Ok...here is some things to help you weigh your options...

Commando (at least for me) is better for PvE then PvP

BH is pretty good for PvP, not sure about PvE

Commando's have a nice Burn Dot that they can stack via different specials

BH's have a nice mind bleed

All of the Commando's Specials work at 16m or less

BH's specials work at up to 64m I believe.

Commando's just need Heavy Weapon XP and Combat XP to progress...so you could basically use the same weapon and the same tactics to get to Master.

BH's need 4 different types of XP to progress...and I hear Investigation is a grind.

Commando requires Master Marksman and Master Unarmed to qualify for Novice Commando. Once you hit Master Commando you have 81 skill points left to dabble elsewhere.

BH requires Master Marksman and Master Scout to qualify for Novice BH. Once you hit Master BH you only have 33 skill points left to dabble elsewhere.

Commando's have up to a 30 second delay on their specials.

Not sure on the length of BH delays, but if I recall, it's fairly small if any...

The LLC (BH Weapon) tends to be more powerful and much faster then the FT (Commando Weapon).

The Rocket Launcher (Commando Weapon) does significant blast damage (which is a ATST weakness)...but it does take effort to find one...very difficult to craft and is a limited use weapon.

When it all comes down to it, what type of game do you want to play...BH's can do more damage at a quicker rate from more of a distance then Commandos...but Commandos can take their remaining skill points and make up for this by dabbling wisely...If it all comes down to which is easer to obtain, I'd probably say Master Commando is, let skill points to reach your goal.

Good luck...hope this helps...

What Garvin said is all true, except about all the BH specials working to 64m, I believe that their Lightning Cannon Specials are the same as our Flamer and *sigh* HAR, only work from 16m and have no DOT but I'm not 100% sure. As for which is best it depends on what you like doing. If your going Master BH or even attempting it, you'll get PC Jedi bounties when you hit Invest 3, which is great if you like that thing. Both professions have their bugs as well, check out the BH board and see what they might say. Personaly I'd say Commando, just cause I feel that we will rock when the get some "fixing" done.
