i was for a time master commando / master fencer


its nice, but there is NOT enough points left over for another novice like novice medic...

this is why many commandos just get TK .


i usedto have a macro i made, that switched to the flamer, then after /flame2 switched right back to the gaffi to enjoy the benifits of the COB. but the nerf, oh the nerf.



advantages: 1. other damage types (kinetic and stun) u will have just about every damage there is, but LS. (blast , energy, electricity, heat from commando, and stun and kinetic from the fencer... 2. defence of course. 3. fun and surprise


disadvantages: to tell the truth, unless its on the mobs that are 100% resist to flame or blast, u will not want to use your batton/gaffi. otoh, the def with the fencer weapons equiped, is just too good to want to equip the flamer...

2. no medic. this is a biggie. its what ultimatly made me drop commando to 0040 (then i dropedTHAT for doc)



i will say, it was a lot of fun though. most players do NOT expect a player holding a gaffi, to sprout a gout of flame their way and its verynice in PvE, especially if you have a medic/doc with you...


fun factor. u can play either one, depending on your group.


i dont like dabbling, but u can also just take the def lines, like the above poster advised.

Well, you could go 4-0-4-0 Fencer and pick up 2-0-3-0 Medic and use some strong stims and cure bleeding. But other than that, try fencer, if you like it, Master it, if not, maybe take a look at Swordsman.

Best of luck to ya

I think it depends on what you plan to do with it.

Obviously Fencer defences are the best in the game and compliment any other proff.

If you run with a crew and have a good healer mastering both would be good.

If not the defence lines and medic as suggested would work.


Sadly, if your looking to PvP for the most part Commando weakens any build atm.

But I have faith and I'm holding out....Like so many of my Brothers here (and a couple sisters).
