Thread: Master Commando vs. The Commando Dabbler
I would like to hear from other MASTER commandos here. Is it me or are we hitting MUCH better with the flamer at master level, than we did with Flame 4? I swear, even tho the master box does not add any to flamer accuracy, i am hitting much better. I would say I missed 4 out of 20 with Flame single 2 at flame level 4, but I am only missing 1 out of 20 with flame single 2 at master level.
On a side note, for all you master that are giving up , say your medic skills to pursue some defenses like the TKA trees, proton grenades are the shiztz...i can get 1700 combat exp per grenade hit on a mob on Dathomir and the 10 meter blas radius usually hit multiple mobs every time, making it anywere from 2k-6k Combat exp per grenade....get a few crates of protons and do the TKA precision tree on you lunch break LOL
I like PvP'ing with the dabblers hehe. Had a guy last night cheap shot me with a flamesingle 1. I had armor on, didn't die, stupid dabbler did it right next to the water, so I jumped in put out the flames, got out of the water and killed him with flamesingle2 all before he had a chance to do anything else. Hehe as far as hitting more often, I'm not sure, I think it is about the same, but I also think they need to adjust things so it is more desirable to be a master, all it means right now, is flame and acid cone 2's, being able to hit better with a rocket launcher (oh YAY now I don't waste those insanely expensive things quite so much) and you get a cert for a new grenade so the weaponsmith can shove his fist up your a$$ just a little bit more to drag out the last of your cash.
That said I ain't droppin it for nothing, I still think they're adjusting and it might just be worth waiting for.

Umm what? I kill things in the water all the time with my flame thrower, they continue burning while in there too. Is this a nice little lie that you are telling, or am I missing something? I have never had water make one bit of difference for my flame attacks or DOTs.

No difference. I still miss a lot. last night i decided to dust off some nades since I hadn't used them since i made master and there were 6 Gubbur grouped so close it hurt. Every grenade I threw missed not one all of them.
Here is my question for the Masters, I have been commando since I couldn't even find a Launcher Pistol to give me pistol xp. Finally I made master and I have been bored. Most my points are gone and I refuse to give up Novice Medic and Exploration 1 so I have little room to work in. I know that is teh price you pay for being a commando is it is a point hog. But there seems to be little to no end game, high level content. More observing then bitching here. But there is no loot, I can hunt only so much big game with little challenge unless multiples come and pvp right now is basically just fighting revenge tef's out of a clone center. There seems to be little coordination in getting Imperials and Rebels togther on battelfields. So I was contemplatinbg what to do and I looked hard at my master box, and with the grenade snafu fresh in mind realized I do not use anything but my flame tree. I am just as good as a "Grenadeer" with seeing no commando listing in the patch notes I do not see a fix coming. Is anyone else feeling this void in waht to do? And anyone have any suggestions advice whatever. thanks.
water does put out flame DOT. As of now it is the only thing that puts out the DOT. Perhaps you were attacking NPCs?

Meh, I like the possiblities being a master opens up, especially since this is clearly still beta and they're adding new stuff every week, master may be interesting some day.
That said, you must also remember Christmas is coming around the corner! 
I totally agree with you on that one. I have seen a great post on a possibility with grenade launchers for master commandos. I am going for master commando.... kinda been putting all my combat exp into TKA, since there is no extreme rush for master commando at the moment. But the time will come when there is a better incentive, and for those of you that are masters I suggest you keep that title and wear it proud!

I am currently building the TKA precision tree...it seems like it is making me harder to hit alrdy, but would like definite confirmation. Does ranged defense help you when you are unarmed only, or regardless of what is in your hands? I am not going for Master Cammando because it seems nice to have a few other abilities..like TKA precision.
it is regardless
