Commando Archive

a Master squad leader WITH a group is a gold mine no doubt ,

but all those skill points ( 72 ) are only effective while ur in a group ...

unless thats what u gonna do all the time , group.

but always remember that u can go back and forth to any situation with some work.

I dropped master CH for master commando..

I love commando..

so im going yo the smuggler tree now for drugs..errr spices

If you are going to go squad leader, you can have a fantastic character. As long as you are declared. All your squad leader bonuses will apply to your rebel commando's or Imp trooper (dark troopers are highly recomended.)

The Squad Leader profession sucks due to the fact it simply does not work. The leader ofthe military division in my PA is a squad leader (naturally), and is constantly frustrated at how "group modifiers" and "focused attacks" do more harm than good. I personallyhate it when he usesthe "focused attack" (or whatever it's called)command. It freezes up my flame thrower for a good 5-7 seconds after the initial attack. I'm a grenadier with a 3.7 spdFT which means I should be firing (no specials)every 2 - 2.5 seconds.

When he uses "rally" (this gives the group defense and/or attack modifiers), it puts a rally flag next to your HAM bar that tends to linger a good 30 second to 1 minute after the attack has completed. You cannot harvest while in this state. Sounds trivial, but after about 50 creature kills, it gets quite annoying.

As of now, master commando it stupid. DEFFINATLY go master SL, more usefull

you do the same damage with flame thrower as a grenadier than a master commando

thinking of droping master commando and a few skills and picking up squad leader. So my charector would look like this:

Commando 0/4/4/0

master squad leader

This would give +30 to both ranged and melee defence as well as full terain negotiation and burst run efficiency. Only downside I see is going without flame cone 2....what you guys think?
