Hue,
About the grenade they use combat xp, so
while you master the tree flamethrower you can have field 1 and 2
But pick FT tree before acid tree.

Acid rifle vs Flamethrower seems to be a common question.
Many people jump to say "no contest; go flamethrower." I think that there is at the very least a close arguement and suggest doing both if you have the skill points to spare.
It is true that the Acid rifle has no damage over time (DOT) and that damages seem less. But consider this... You are on Dathomir and your group is jumped by a rancor. If you only have a flamethrower you would do just as well throwing your shoes at it to kill it. 100% resist to heat. Many creatures have resists to heat but acid resists are not common at all. That is what makes the DX2 pistol the one you get the cert for last. On the surface the FWG5 seems superior. Acid attacks are sometimes the BEST option.
I find myself switching regularly between the two.

That's a good point. My only counter argument would be to spend the money and get yourself a Heavy Acid Cannon for those times when you absolutely must have acid damage. The 13 skill points you save on HAR can be extremely useful elsewhere.
