Commando Archive

neither one is really an up close and personal profession but there are several moves in them to keep opponents at a distance, that'll be your best bet.

I also added this to the Rifleman post. As befor any input would be nice!

Well guys thanks so much for the replies! The whole reason I asked about this combo is for the Commandos ability to take out ATST on the battlefield along with the Riflemans ability to deal out Death form a great distance. I am not real interested in the TKA profession. Dont get me wrong the TKA is a force to be reconed with, but I don't think (not sure) a TKA can take out an ATST solo. The power of the two professions(Rifleman,Commando) have great strengths going for both and I just assumed that the combination of the two would play well with each other. Like I said i just dont know for sure, but logic is telling me that the two should go together. Thanks guys.You have been a great help!

I have a rifleman friend who regularly takes out AT-ST's solo using conceal shot and Mulon Gold. He is much more effective at this tactic then me or any MC that i know. In a group the MC rules at taking out the metal monster but solo I would put my money on a happy outcome on the Rifleman.

hold on for a sec satanscircus, last time i checked my proffession, commando was mainly up close and personal (aside from RL, and HPBC which are @ ideal ranges of 64 and 48 respectively)

even though commandos get it tough at close range (2.5X mod and low melee def mods) we ARE built for close and personal fighting..but generally 1-sided up/close fighting against ranged opponents

and this added with master riflemen would make a nice combo..mainly due to conceal shot and the long range...coupled with commando this combo could wreak havoc on many creatures and/or persons

its only, however, a nice combo in the sense of long range and short range..commandos are more close, but are a mix of both - riflemen, long

however, with weapons..commandos do not use any riflemen mods or skills, except for def mods..rifleman will not help in being a commando nor vice versa (again except for def mods)

however, BH/pistoleer/TKA are really the only true proffessions that compliment commando skills in terms of combat (skill mods, new abilities, etc)

but it depends wholly on your fighting style however

and last time I checked up close and personal meant nose to nose not 15m.

I put this on the riflemans forum and thought I should put it here as well. Any advice is welcome.

Ok guys this is my first post so if this question has been put to you then sorry.

I am working on becoming a master rifleman but also am working to become a master commando. What i need to know is this going to be a good combination? I love being a rifleman and would not trade it for any other class but I am wanting to be able to defend myself up close and personal. Any input is welcome.

I'm gonna try to answer your question to the best of my ability. It sounds to me your looking for an ability to defend yourself up close. I don't feel that Commando complemets rifle at all in this effect, both rifle and commando suffer the same 2.5x melee def prob. If u want to deffend up close pick up TKE, i have a hunting buddy who is a rifleman/master TKE and he is a killing machine in pvp and pve. We work as an attack squade my medic/commado skills complete his close and long range attack perfectly in pvp and in pve i have yet to come across anything that can drop us as a team. I noticed you mentioned taking down AT-ST's in anouther post, If that is what you are looking to do than commando is the right choice for you. I can drop an AT-ST with the correct stratigy but it is a ranged attack, if AT-ST was melee at close range it would tear me apart just like a gnort lol. You have rifle so with rifleman and commado skills u should be able to handle an AT-ST, but you will still have prob handeling anything that try to melee you.

hope this helps killen.

Adda
