Commando Archive

Hello, all you commandos out there....

I was wondering, if I were to min/max a commando/CH....

What race would you choose?

Which skills from each class and why?

I would throw in Feign Death in there somewhere, too, unless it weren't necessary. Keep in mind only a few things:

1. Min/Max flamers, you can post all you want flaming this thread, I will just ignore you and move on to the actual advice from gamers willing to help.

2. I would like to maximize my damage as well as have two pets out if possible

3. I realize that Feign Death will probably take too many points away from a good Commando/CH, so I probably wouldn't use it...I already have a doctor/dancer for buffs and heals so FD might not even be required

4. This is only me thinking about getting a second account for a combat character, so I want this toon to simply kick arse and take names from the burnt/half eaten corpses of my enemies.

Well to pull this off you will just need Flame 4, then aim for Master Creature Handler since the CH changes will stop the 'dabblers' pulling out a single Graul.

As for race I would suggest Wookie as they get bonus for CH and that will be your main class but you will not have armour which if you play smart will not need anyway.

As for how to play this combo let your pets get agro first and then wait a little then flame on.

Also watch out for the 2.5x melee mod, it hurts.

You don't suggest getting any skills in grenades and such? Or should I let the pets handle most of the work and sit back and /flame on?? Cause if I go with just the flame skills I think I may have enough points for Feign Death as well....

At this point in the game, grenades are pretty worthless. The accuracy isn't that great and they don't do nearly as much damage as the flame thrower.

The only way your goiong to be able to havwe 2 pets out is to master CH and then you can take 2 lines in comando but if you are going to dable you probably only need flame 4, seriously, thats all that works right. Then feign death will almost be mute point but if you go just master CH and flame 4 you can get it if you insist.

i hate poky man wars

but there right flame 4 is thet only thing that works and worth geting in commando

but i do say get the smuggler dirty fighting tree becous it is the most use full thing in the game

Thanks guys, flame 4/dirty fighting it is, with as much CH as I can get in there......

CarltheWookiee,

You hit the nail on the head. I have no wishes to be a tank, I like the CH profession. As my original post stated, I simply wish to do some nice damage ALONGSIDE my pets. And who said I had to be a wookiee? Can't I wear the 68% composite AND eat food/spice while my 3 pets beat on the mob I am killing? =o)

If I were you, I ditch the wookie CH idea all together. Now that food/spice bugs are fixed, there's no reason for meatshields unless you just like CH. I can stand toe-to-toe with anything and infact, I have stopped using feign death completely. Yes, every now and then, spice will wear off at just the WRONG time. Just watch out for it.

If you want to be a high-damage tank, get TKM, Flame IV and some fencer. Or pistoleer, since their melee Def is starting to look pretty decent. Toss in Nov Medic and ur GTG.

As it stands now, I can solo a Giant Kimo with a full doc buff, some spice and some food. Haven't used feign death once since bug was fixed. Did it 10 times today on Lok.

IMO, CH wastes to many points. When ur pet cacks off (and it will) if ur a wookie, ur scr3w3d without armor. I wear 68% comp as my adventuring armor and I'm fine. Occasionaly a fight gets a little closer than I'd like, but what fun would it be without any risk?
