Thread: Seriously, Could a Mon Cal be an effective Commando?
If the repeated, humiliating deaths at the hands...wings(?) of nunas doesn't bother them then yes a Mon Cal could be an effective commando.
Really though anyone can be an effective commando it's open enough that race doesn't really matter when you get right down to it. The only thing you might have to do is adjust some stats.
Lower your stats to the lowest possible and post your min and max possible.
I'm a Trandoshan
Min - 1800 points to spend
H 550 / 600 / 700
A 300 / 300 / 300
M 300 / 300 / 400
Max
H 1250 / 800 / 800
A 1000 / 450 / 400
M 1000 / 500 / 600
Can't wear gloves or boots. Some perks to unarmed fighting.
I do okay.
Speak of the devil!
I started a Mon Cal on Sunrunner a few days ago and plan on Master TKA and Master Commando. Halfway through marksman tree (hardest part will be getting that apprenticeship XP I think) and unarmed. Thinking of just working unarmed for a while to get TKA so ic an use a vibroknuckler.
*agrees with Sinron*
Though other races have combat oriented bonuses (Mon Cal being crafting bonuses) it doesn't mark the Mon Cal out. I tooka bit away from Mind and action and upped my constitution and stamina. Haven't had any troubles yet. Combat is a lot different than with my master doctor though, but a lot of fun!
I am Mon Cal Imperial Commando. I am also master medic. I dont see how any commando can live without high healing skills, although it is hard to even heal yourself with a 16sec delay after special, but anyway...yes, i find mon call rewarding for commando because of my healing skills.
You can not get as high a pools as other races, the max is 1000 while others can get 1100, but this not too important. I maxxed all my pools and the leftovers are majority in the focus and willpower, great for healing and dealing with heavy helm ham costs. I read somewhere that commando moves tap the focus stat a bit more than other professions which makes this a plus also. I think my stats are roughtly:
Health 1000
Srength 300
Constitutuion 300
Action 1000
Quickness 300
Stamina 450
Mind 1000
Focus 600
Willpower 450
I can wear full ubese armor including helm. I dont know what that other person said about armor resrictions but I have found NO restrictions on ubese or bone armor. However, i can NOT wear a stormtrooper helm(I can wear stormtrooper legs and boots so far) But I am not sure if the stormtrooper helm restriction is a bug or not. People cant seem to equip the uniform hat either.
What sucks the most for me is the 3x faction point racial penalty I pay for being imperial. So if your going imperial, go human for sure.
As for the starting artistan skills, dont even let that enter into your decision, as a Single Skill Enhancing Attachment from a dark jedi can blow those points out of the water. Meaning, you can get items that boost skills better than anything you get from the racial skills. But the +15 to alert on Mon Cal is nice to have.
HAH HAH HAH I NEEDED THAT LAUGH! seriously no they cant, they r toatal wusses, they cant even stay in the desert for god sakes,
Ahh another useless response in red...
Yes any race can be any profession, you, as stated, will just have to migrate your stats to be the best you can possibly be.
I am a Wookiee and have migrated my stats as such to get the highest possible regeneration rates in each of my pools.
I think my stats are as follows:
1100 Health
700 Strength
550 Constitution
1100 Action
600 quickness
500 stamina
700 mind
500 focus
550 willpower
These may not be my exact stats, but I do know that everyone of my stat pools is above 500.
Also, I know a Mon Cal commando and he does just fine solo or in a group and is one of the most notorious PvP'ers on the Eclipse server for the Rebel Alliance.
