Yes.

Commando/Smuggler is good, but not great, unless you really want the business end of smuggling..i.e spicing and slicing.

The fact is, smuggler just isn't that great for PvP or for PvE. Sure, the specials are nice with the LP, but A) you are slow as hell and B) you can't hit the broad side of a barn. Pistoleer/Smuggler and some fencer is a much better build if you really want smuggler.

Try out TKM with your commando. Leave those silly pets for the kiddes to play with. You will have a blast. Burn it, then punch it to death while it's on fire.

Master Smuggler/Master Commando

I smuggler won't come into it's own until the space exp. comes out. Right now I really bites. That's why I'm gonna master Commando while I grind out Smuggler in my free time.

I'm a Master Smuggler/Master Commando now, and although I really enjoy saving money slicing my own weapons and armor, I hardly ever use the smuggler skills.

The other poster is correct about Smuggler really being like a side business with spices and slices. I have even considered giving up Smuggler and going for TKM until there is something more substantial to do with my Smuggling...

Like someone said, maybe when the space expansion comes out. If that happens, I have more than enough xp for slicing and spices, so it would just be a matter of getting the pistol trees back.....if I decided to go that way.

The smuggler's specials are very good..........................if you can actually hit anyone with them. The smuggler gets no pistol stat mods and like the commando profession in general shows, even the best weaponsand specials are no use if you can't hit anything with them. If you want those smuggler specials to have a use, you'll have to pick up some pistol stat mods from pistoleer. If you can't afford all those skill points, just go TKM. You'll get a very effective melee class, melee mitigation and meditation.

Having said that though, I hear commando 0/1/4/0 pistoleer 4/4/4/4 smuggler 0/0/4/0 tka 4/0/04 is a very effective gcw pvp base raid template.

i liked being master smuggler and commando because in pvp i would doa low blow knock them down run up a flame single 2 them and the fight is over but thats the only thing i could realy use i used feign death when i got in trouble too

I am a Master Commando with CH 4-0-0-0 and Novice Medical. However I want to give up the CH and medical and take up smuggling. Are the smuggling skills a good complement to the commando skills?

I don't know if I could survive without my pet tanks.

Has anyone got any experience of sumuggler and commando?
