Commando Archive

I was wondering what the better class was to go with TKA. I'm looking to be good at both ranged and close quarter fighting. Carbineer and Rifleman are good ranged although I'm not sure what is better. Commando is better at close range but I like their cool weapons, and CH is pretty powerful, but if I fight a mob with my pet and myself, the mob only hits me not the pet, so that defeats the point of the pet tanking.

Any suggestions of a good second profession?

If your doing mostly PvE I honsetly have to say Master CH. CH is the one skill that, along with a strong combat skill, will open just about all of the games content to you without other players. I have recently dropped master CH to go Commando/TKM. I love the FT and launcher pistol! This game is an order of magnitude harder (and more fun IMO) when you arent hiding behind a pet.
