Just wanted to ask the community some questions real quick. I made novice commando sunday evening and since this is my third week playing I am a bit new to this.


1. Why does the HAR skills cost more than the FT ones when the HAR isnt as good?

2. I am using the LP to xp atm but the BOOM is killing my FPS is there a different weapon I should be using?

3. Any suggestions on xp spots? I am running faction missions that pay out 4k each but they are very tough.


Thanks guys

Azkor,


Welcome to the commando community.


1. No one really understands why the HAR is so bad, it just is. Most commandos don't even own one - but with patch 7 it will be useful against unfriendlies that have high heat resists. There are no damage-over-time (DOT) attacks for HAR so it will still be less popular than the flame thrower, but at least the accuracy and speed modifiers will stack properly.


2. Most folks recommend using the LP until you reach Flame 3, where the flamer is more accurate than the LP. Can you use options to tone down the graphics? I don't know. I got bored with LP and picked up the flamer on flame 2 and managed all right.


3. THere are many great spots for heavy weapons xp and there have been several threads in the forum about this. In general you should stay on beginner planets until you get flame 3. My guild is on Rori, so I concentrated on squalls.Then buy a good set of armor that has high kinetic resistance (like ubese with 50% or greater)and then getbuffed and go to Yavin and fight magwaxs or get buffed and go to Dantooine and run savage quenker or maybe picket missions. Most folks like going to Dantooine becuase it doesn't cost too much to go there and there are less nasties (things that disease or poison)around than other advanced planets.


I would suggest reading Ivoni's FAQ stickied to this forum,it really is good and has many suggestions.


Regards, Gava Maka

Commando Master

Medic 0220

Pistolier 0220

Smuggler 0430 ( for low blow and the slicing of my own weapons )

Huh....you almost have my template. Well currently working on anyway. Drop the medic skills and add them to Pistoleer for 0/3/0/4 and drop everything in smuggler except thedirty fighting line. It does make you pretty self sufficient.
