Thread: Novice commando with questions
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.
