Commando Archive

I was looking over some of the other profession boards and noticed that many of them have a template thread stickied to the top of them. I was thinking of something similar for Commando. Mostly this is because I want to share my template and get some feedback. I did some number crunching and I believe I have come up with an awesome template, please take a look at it as well as my reasoning and let me know what you think.

First off, let me say that I started by looking at what MY IDEA of a RL Commando is all about. IMHO, the Commando is a dirty fighter with access to heavy weapons. But that doesn't mean that he can't use base weapons. Additionally, he must be able to sneak up behind someone and kill them before they know he is there. So, HTH is a must as well (thus the Unarmed requirement for Commando). That being said, stealth is not implemented in this game. 8-(

So what did I come up with? The template is as follows:

Master Commando/Pistol 0204/Smuggler 0242/Teras Kasi 0404

What?!?! Why would that fool (me) do that? Well, here is my justification.

This provides the template with the following mods:

Melee Def: 220, Ranged Def: 165, Gen Melee Accuracy: 105, Gen Melee Speed: 20, Gen Rng Acc: 150, Gen Rng Spd: 30

Heavy Weapons: Accuracy 55, Defense 50, Speed 45

Thrown: Accuracy 95, Speed 40

Pistol: Accuracy 40, Defense 30, Speed 25

Unarmed: Accuracy 120, Defense 60, Speed 60

Put it together and you get:

Heavy Wpn: Acc 205, Rng Def 215, Melee Def 270, Rng Speed 75, Melee Speed 60

Pistol: Acc 190, Rng Def 195, Melee Def 250, Rng Speed 55, Melee Speed 45

Unarmed: Acc 225, Rng Def 225, Melee Def 280, Rng Speed 30, Melee Speed 80

Those are pretty impressive numbers. But what about specials?

Special Types gained:

Melee - Knockdown, COB, Combo Atk (heavy damage), Armor Break

Ranged - 4 +damage specials (1 elite), Attack Delay, Action Regen Debuff, 2 Roots, State Resist Debuff, Move/Atk Debuff, Knockdown with Attack Speed Debuff, Snare and Defense Debuff

But the best Ranged special is the AOE ranged. I am not sure this will work, but, on Fan Shot I see that special applying primary damage to everything in the cone, then applying secondary damage to each mob in the cone times the number of primary damage recipients! So, if you had 4 mobs inside the Fan Shot area, each Mob would get Primary Damage from our AOE weapon, plus three AOE secondary blasts! Awesome!

Self Debuffs and Other Abilities: Feign Death (+50), Meditate (+15), Blind/Stun/Dizzy Recovery and a double Taunt Bonus

I am not entirely sure what weapons I would use with this, but I was thinking about the best Knuckles I am certed for, the Blackhand Annihilator and the Corellian Destroyer (single target)/Flamethrower (multi target).

With the stats and the abilities, I think this template would be valid for PvP and PvE even without healing mods. But in PvE it would rock! Let me know your thoughts and feelings about this template, I would appreciate the feedback!
