Lynch here,

Okay, I'm still working my way up the Unarmed (under 30k exp left *grindgrindgrind*) bit and I've capped intermediate exp in rifle/pistol/carbine... I figure 2 or 3 more nights and I'll be able to quit punching things and start the serious shooting. I've been soloing lairs, killing bocatts on Tattooine, and generally schlepping my way through Unarmed. Frustrating, but I can pull about 16k unarmed exp a night (and, oddly enough, about 16k in mission-given cash). I have a bit of a question which I'm still grappling with.

I've started Unarmed and stuck with it to get it out of the way. It's disappearing fairly rapidly but I'm still at a loss as to how to proceed from here. Is it better to grind my way through, say, Rifle Spec... then do Carbine to spec, pistol to spec... or try to keep them more or less balanced. Working from the small bit I've managed to gather in my slavish devotion to mission terminals, if I raise Ranged Weapon Support, the difficulty of the missions goes up (no huge deal, Bocatts for the last 3 skill ups)... but if I'm trying to do missions with a different weapon because I solo'd my way to spec in another... isn't that just making my life more difficult than it already is? I've also been told that I should find my way into a Tusken group and I'm just concerned that I'll be so outclassed (punching for 100 does bubkiss when that BH is nocking 800's off like it's a shooting gallery) that the exp will slow... Should I wait for a couple of my gun skills to get viable or just muck in and get all the exp I can?

Oh, and for the record... I've had SWG for five days... I'm still trying to figure out if there's an /assist command *chuckles*

My goal is to become Master Commando despite all the brokeness of our profession. It takes more guts to play a broken profession, than to play a profession proven to be godly.

And yes, there is an /assist comand =)

Mix 'em up. I "ground" my way through unarmed the past two days, made it earlier today. Now I can work on Teras Kasi.

But I don't particularly feel like churning out a few hundred more k unarmed atm! I normally switch what weapon I'm using depending on what I'm up against. When it's a big target I'll give two overcharge shots with a rifle, then switch to a speedy carbine or a pistol (since pistols are overpowered carbine is really the only one that has to be "worked.") Don't worry too much about churning XP (especially at higher levels.) Go out and have fun, that's what it's all about.
