Commando Archive

Well... I just can't decide, Commando or BH?

On the one side, I was a Commando way-back-when Commando's were terrible. Being a commando, a soldier, was a great thing for me. Now that I moved to a new server I need to restart.

On the other side, I want to see Jedi suffer.



Here's what i've got so far:

Commando +'s

1. Flamethrower is a great heavy weapon; fire DOT, good damage, looks good.
2. Been a Commando, know how to be a Commando, can be a Commando again.
3. Going Commando leaves me enough points to go for another melee profession, in sense giving me all-around fighting capabilities as well as Melee and Ranged Damage Mitigation 3

Commando -'s

1. While better then LLC's, accuracy with Flamethrowers is still a bit sub-par.
2. No Jedi hunting. Bastards.
3. No specialized content (even bugged, the "hunt players" aspect of BH is kinda appealing...)
4. Heavy Weapons have charges. I'm cheap. I don't like buying stuff over and over again.
5. Unless I go Master Pistoleer I will have no real "ranged" attack. I'll have the Flamer, but nothing else really.
----------------------------------

BH +'s

1. BH 3/4/0/0 combined with Master Carbineer is a good combo with many different stat effects and some decent damage.
2. Get to hunt Jedi. Bastards.
3. *if* Player bounties come in, lots of content opportunity.
4. LLC looks kickass.
5. Since i'll be using Carbines i'll have decent range and speed.

BH -'s

1. Have to have Master Scout. Waste of points if I ever saw one...
2. LLC sucks.
3. Jedi kick BH's asses (basing this off TC2 feedback and is thus subject to change)
4. BH tracking skills are bugged. (though one has to assume this will be fixed.
5. Carbines use a LOT of HAM
6. Stat effects on Carbines tend not to stick on high-end mobs.
7. I won't have enough points to master BH AND Carbineer, so I have to take hits in one or the other.
8. No melee damage mitigation or defense whatsoever. Thus essentially limiting me to ranged fighting only.
9. I hate pistols, so that entire skill line is a waste.



I just can't decide...

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm leaning more and more towards going back to Commando like the good 'ol days.

Go Commando, and for the following reasons. I was a master BH for a while and hated it, the power is seriously lacking. As a commando(which I just got novice and first box of flamethrower today YEAH!) i'm able to solo things I could never kill before. Today I soloed an Ancient Graul(of course I had buffs and my wookie armor), and It made playing galaxies fun again. The sheer power Commandos have is astounding, and I full heartidly reccomend it.

that is true bh is very good at pvp, just sit back and spam eye shot all day.

I've played both, bounty hunter is better than commando in PvP and maybe in PvE, but it's still no where near as strong as the other stackers/templates.

exactly, thats why bh and commando need serious revamps, we should be super powerful. for god sakes they havetwo higest skill points cost in the game,(well commando can always pick up TK).
