Commando Archive

Background: I recently resubscribed to the game after 6+ months away.Due to some exciting changes in my life (new home owner and about to get married), my play sessions tend to be very short (I solo a lot). My character's template is a Commando/CH hybrid with Novice Medic.

Problem: I've been exploring Endor and Dath over the past week and came to the realization that many high end mobs have medium armor and high resists (Black Sun Assassins, etc.). Unfortunately, I have zip for armor piercing. The flame thrower works ok for the DoT, but it still barely scratches a medium armor mob.

Does anyone have a suggestion for dealing with these mobs? Should I pick up some Rifleman for the T21 heavy armor piercing? Should I try using a rocket launcher or another heavy weapon?

Thanks for the replies!

This is one of our big issues right now that will allegedly be addressed in the combat balance. For the time being, your best bet is to pick up either rifleman or swordsman for anything needing AP.

Rocket launchers and heavy support weapons just aren't that affective at AP, and they're extraordinarily costly.
