Commando Archive

Hi, I am a MCH and I also want to pick-up some skills in Commando tree.

I only have 32 points to spend in Commando tree and I am wondering which weapon should I go for.
Acid rifle, Flamethrower, or heavey support weapon?

I am totally nob to commando class and don't know which weapon is better.

All I want is a weapon doing heavy health dmg..

Please advice.

"go away dabbler"

Is all your gonna get....

Do flamer, acid is broken...

I love dabblers.

After all this is a hybrid skill/class based game.

Dont be jealous just because you mastered something just to get a master title and get whipped or outdone in some other way by someone who intelligently multiclassed.

"All I want is a weapon doing heavy health dmg.."

all of our weapons deal random damage to HAM

we dont have specials to target any HAM pool

and if you want to get one skill tree .. get flamethrower all the other trees suck !

(have you anyone seen using a Acid rifle ? grenades ? rocketlauncher ?)

I dunno Cooper. If I was to be less nasty to this guy and tell him something really helpful I would say this:

1) If your creatures are tanking for you, you can get Flamethrower II, which will let you be pretty accurate and have both the single fire damage specials and the area special. Both of these bleed the health pool, even though the initial damage is random.

2) Your other option is to go with the Heavy Support weapons tree on expendable weapons. The PBC does really nice, reliable damage with just 2 boxes in the tree filled in and they arent all that hard to find. They arent really all that expensive either. The PBC has a huge effect on creatures, you can 1-shot a corellian war gronda with it. Also, with further tweaks to how the game handles AP, i see this line being the most useful in PvP too. It's all dependent on whether you want to spend credits on expendable weps.

3) Even at novice commando, the LP produces a nice bleed with healthshot.

hmm heavy support weapons good in PvP ??

perhaps im just not lucky but inearly never hit with my HPBC in PvP ... and i have tried often ...

and remember devs sayed that they even want to reduce our chance to hit on players with heavy support weapons ...

he means the weapons have a limited amount of charges

i c.. didn't know that.

so every weapon in heavy support weapon tree has limited amount of charges?

Agree with StarNick, if you just want to help your pets go up the flame tree. Heavy weapons are pretty frustrating until you get to III.

yea, the base now is approx 30 charges with a max of 40 (from 200 before patch) its really insane now considering on the low end you can get some of these for 12-16k (rocket launcher for 30k) on the high end you can spend hundreds of thousands (now a good and fair master weaponsmith)

and i suggest do NOT just go into a few lines of commando class primarily because:

1) we are not effective at novice, when we reach tier 4 of a specific branch, we are pretty good

2) dont go up har just yet, i suggest flamer/hvy weapons all the way up to tier 4 or flame IV if you dont have enough points
