Thread: Decision to Make

Hello Commando community! I used to be a Commando, but I gave it up to pursue another profession and now I have a decision to make: Commando or BH? I like Commando because of all the cool weapons you get to have and the DOTs, but I also like the idea of BH for a good old Jedi hunt once in a while. I already have TKA 4/4/4/3 going TKM and it's either get some BH and pistoleer or Master Commando. I love Commando don't get me wrong, but I need a little help here. Can anyone give me some advice on this? Any help would be appreciated!
That is a tough call...For PvP and for Jedi hunting, I'd probably go with BH pre-revamp (if that's what you'd prefer)...if you prefer more PvE then PvP and/or Jedi hunting, Commandos do well PvE...the TKM/Commando template, at least for me, does really well for playing PvE as a solo player...I can't do the high high end content (Geo Caves for example) solo, but I can do things like the various Themeparks and just hunting high end content by myself...
After the Revamp, this could be all different...I definitely see some PvP potential coming for Commandos...And TK is getting some interesting changes that will make them a very strategic choice for Commandos (as well as all other professions)...This isn't to say that TK's will be set to be only templete enhancers...they too will have their strategic routes that can improve them...
As a current MBH, I can field this one. My advice would be to finish out TKM. If you like the idea of Jedi missions, pick up BH 3/0/0/0. You do NOT need to be a MBH to do Jedi missions. Right now, the most effective template against Jedi is BH 3/0/0/0 + TKM. Post revamp however, we (MBHs) are strongly hoping that the Ranged BH templates become the powerful Jedi Hunting templates. The weapon lines of BH are relatively easy to grind, however the Investigation line is tough. It's much better now that missions and droids work for NPC marks and shuttle wait times are down to 5 minutes. Bottom line, you'll need Master Marksman either way so start with that. Once you finish Marksman, give BH missions a try (read some of the BH mission posts for tips on early missions). If you can stand doing them, then give BH 3/0/0/0 a try. If you decide you don't like it, at least you've already got all the pre-reqs for Commando.
