If you have more fun blowing stuff up, why the competition? If you want strength, go rifleman.

Well against normal stuff were pretty good. However thank the Devs for giving anything with 10k or more HAM also high heat resists. Rilfeman is good since you can just conceal shot things to death or at least the last time I was a rifleman. Commando is more fun though. Hopefully this will change.

The only real time I se commando is during base takedowns It should be the other wat around, but commando complements rifleman, not the other way around.

Rifleman vs Commando? If you're choosing one or the other due to template/skill point constraints, then, as I hate to admit it, Rifleman will serve you better in the current state of the game.
Seriously, you will do far more damage in PvE and PvP than a Commando could hope for. The Laser Rifle, T21, and DXR-6b, and Jawa Rifle will see to it.
If you want a challenge, then follow the Spartan path of the Commando

its pretty much alrdy stated, and since u love to blow stuff up im not swaying any opinoins just stating mine. I love commando, but since Riflemen beats it DPS wise there is no comparison even tho there should be.

A Commando will never out-damage a Rifleman, provided the Rifleman knows what they are doing. I agree, Commando SHOULD be the stronger of the two professions, but that's just not the way it is. As a Rifleman myself, I've fought Commandos in PvP...normally I just kind of take the damage from them and laugh. It's sad too, I really like Commando and used to be one 
Hopefully things will change soon and Commando will be the @$$-kicking prof that it should be.

i think it just depends how you play. are you a composite wearing clone that is buffed all the time? what creatures do youhunt? what are their resists?
i am a rifleman and to me its the most satisfying kill but i know its not the best way of doing things between the two. the rifleman grind is awful too if you dont have a pet. we can take creatures out around lairs but we dont take the lairs out as fastas a commando.
again i think its how you play. i use the rifleman as a support, either supporting pets or players. not everyone does that and thats fine. i dont wear armor like everyone so thats what i have to do. i think the commando is a better tank and can do support. however with buffs and armor everyone tanks, even chefs armed with a frying pan.

I am a Master Rifleman, TK 4003, and Commando 0140 (along with various FS skills, but I have issues if theyreally work or not). I have kept my Flamethrower line, basically cause I really dig it, but itisn't good for the fs grind, and most things have a high heat resistance, unless your hunting Mokks on Dant. Personally, I got bored with the Mokks, but kept the FT anyway. Rifles do a lot more damage, and I can fight most things in the game. As I have previously stated in another thread, I wish there was a tree for the LP, as I would take that over the FT, but unfortunately there isn't (and without pistoleer/BH specials, the LP isweak for the most part IMO). If I could replace the FT with an LP tree (for the blast damage), I could pretty much take out any Nightsister out there.
