Commando Archive

Well the funny deep Voice told me the second profession i have to Master... the Commando (thx God i though i have to be a droid engineer ;-) ) First one was MasterEntertainer .... Well no i am novice Commando with flame 1 (had some xp from the bh left) and my question is.... if there are any good spots to grind ......or how to survive the FlamerCooldown....... well i could throw my mandoviole at him

btw the rocketlauncher has charges can he be reloaded ?

Enjoy.....

The rocket lancher cannot be reloaded. As for good spots to fight, it depends on whether you'll fight solo, with pets or with a group.

When I had Flame 1, I did my grinding in Wayfar on Tatooine... Dune Bantha's if I recall were about 1.5-2k exp each back then. However, I did not have any pets, it was pre- uber flamethrower patch (and therefore pre- 2.5x modifier patch), and I used my PL to get my HW exp until I had Flame 3 and we got the FT fix. Now I would probably suggest a similar route until you get Flame 1 or 2 and then you could go to Lok or Datooine and kill vesps and pikets.

As far as avoiding the 2.5x modifier, keep your PL equipped when mobs are close and use warning shot and supression fire.

You do realize you have to master every proffession in the game to open the FSS right? You can't just say i don't want to master this and find another holocron, at some point you DO have to master it....And no I can't technically prove this, but I know FOR A FACT that mastering the proffession the holocron tells you does nothing, and since if you find another it tells you to master another proffession then (I've personally gotten 5 different proffessions that they've told me to master) it leads me to believe that you need to master EVERYTHING

I also know that until you mater commando, every holocron will direct you here, so you might as well get it out of the way now so you can move on to Master DE with the next Holocron.

I think the leading rumor is that you need to master like 8 professions, but I have no idea how anyone would know that.

So far guy in first place in all this madness is working on his 3rd profession told by holocron.

Interesting, the template he was given allows for all 3 to be mastered simultaneously.

We shall see if there's a 4th which will mean it only matters that you have mastered them, not that you have them all at once.

And if it turns out to be that you have to master 8 random professions...

that's just the dumbest formula ever in the history of online gaming.

Ok my advice on grinding, for what it's worth.....

First get a good group and head to Dantooine. Take Bol missions, Seething Bols if ya can get them. They burn like flash paper, BUT they do do melee damage, AND they are impervious to blast damage so the LP is just a pretty light show with them. I did say make sure you had a good group right.....

Second choice? Bolmas on Dath. Same as above but you can hit them with blast damage. Use everything you have in your arsenal. Open up with a healthShot/bodyShot combo with LP, switch to flamer as it closes - you'll get a few good hits in - when it crosses 19m ahead of you key up FlameSingle1, IMMEDIATLY switch back to LP and pray it's disoriented enough to not hit you repeatedly. You ARE going to take damage, so be ready for it - wearing your armor right? - but you should be able to ride out thecouple of hits he's gonna get on you. Once the Bolma's in the mix and you have the LP equipped just wail on it. Your group will hate you for the lag, but hey... that's part of the fun of grouping a commando

I know the purists will flame me for this, but don't be afraid to drag those old Marksman skills out. Supression Fire is a wonderful thing with the LP or Flamethrower, it MAY just buy you enough time to back out, OR someone else to draw a bit of the aggro.

I do advocate grouping, I am NOT a soloist usually, and I have nothing but one lil beetle to keep me company out there if and when I decide to have a pet out.

Good luck on your path.. hope I was able to help a lil bit.... I'll go prepare for the flames now

"And if it turns out to be that you have to master 8 random professions...

Yes but that fits the pattern for these devs perfectly.

you know, even if I opened a slot for Jedi I would have to do some serious thinking on it. Granted when I got this game I was looking forward to the possibilty, however, I now believe that Jedi will just become another Nerfed weakling because the popular opinion will claim it's to powerful and the dev's will say ok and the jedi will be worthless. Why even bother!!!!!!!!

if you gotta master more than 3 professions im quitting

thx for the replies i will try that

and if i have to master more than 3 profession i will quit too !!! actually to my old char i mastered more but i have to sacrifice this char for the weird path of the jedi ..... well if i have mastered the both professions the holo told me i am totally out of skill points.... if i have to master the third i think the theorie with master 8 prof is right and then........ well a lot of other companys want my money hehe ( bad thing is that i really had fun with my old char and now i to only grinding :/ thats zero fun )

Ok i keep you informed and now i to the most funny thing for a commando i ll grab my flamethrower and get some barbeque ;-)
