Hey, I've been trying to work Commando into my template and need a little help on this one: Ionly have room for one weapon line in Commandoand wanna' ask about the HAR. I've heard you can't use Rifle specials with the HAR (I'm a Rifleman), so I was wondering if the rifle attack/accuracy/etc. bonuses givethose bonuses to the HAR. I have little faith in this and am thinking of just going for flamethrower, but I thought, since it would be an awesome combo, I just HAD to ask around just in case.
Please, give me your imput on this and let me know what would be the best weapon considering my template (oh and I have TKA in there too).

The HAR has its own accuracy and speed modifiers, and is unaffected by rifle accuracy and speed, and additionally does not use rifle specials.
The FT is the only really viable non-expendable weapon we have currently (except for the LP, and then only if you have some pistoleer skills). Unfortunately the FT specials, while being very damaging, are close range (16m) only.

Hmm... well, I DO have Rifleman and TKA at any rate, so FT sounds just right to me. I'll use Rifles at a distance, FT against pistols and close-fighting carbines and TKA for melee. Sounds good to me. Thanks for the help!

Not to mention its like holding your T-21 in melee range too to fire off the specials....granted you can fire with /attack or /overcharge2 BUT heh, the only thing good about commando then is lost (our DoT)....
And the only thing the HAR is good is for burning off the soot and ash buildup on your FT....

Ok, so what do you think of this template:
Commando 0/0/4/0
Rifleman 4/0/3/4
TKA master (4/4/4/4)
I'm trying to go for a balance between PvE and PvP. I also chose TKA because I was sick of being ganked by darkjedi at Ancorhead while I was trying to do missions.
