Commando Archive

I know you have plenty of guides here; which I have alot bookmarked and will continue to be reading..

I am about 40k of unarmed combat xp away from Master TK, and should be picking up Novice Commando tonight... My question to those that already have Master Commando, is there anything you would of done different if you were to do it over again? Since I'm starting out from Novice Commando, I figure I'd try to ping some of those community commandos and see if I might be able to learn from their decisions and issues along my way to Master Commando.

My template design is mostly for PVE, I want Master TK, Master Commando, 2 medic skills.

the only thing i would change would be to get commando MUCH sooner.....killing torturs with my FT was the most fun i've had in the game, so i wouldn't change a thing about the way i grinded to master...

What would I have done differently? Let's start with the fact it took me 6 months from buying the game with the intent of mastering commando to start out. I would use buffs more liberally if I started fresh again.

Also, I would go with the LP to get the first few boxes of flamer.I burned out a flamer before getting flamers four since I was spamming overcharge shot 2.

If I had to start over again there is one big thing I'd do that would make all the difference: Use Buffs, Food,and Armor liberally.

I'm not joking when I say I level'd up commando, for the most-part, without wearing any armor at all and no buffs whatsoever (I never actually got buffed until picking up pistoleer.) Keep in mind this included the time period during which we took 2.5x more damage from melee guys by the way. (which was the first thing that inspired me to get some ubese, I might add.)

Hey thats my line! No buffs, armour, or other profession defenses (no TKA, nor anythingmore than Pistol Tech III) for EIGHT months.....was practically a pure commando...

Of course this was back before vehicles when scout was needed, so I had camping and explore...

And exactly what raptor said....id use food, buffs, and armour if i had to do it over again (which I already did anyways!) from dieing 20+ times to dieing 0 times....really makes a difference (as well as more xp, faster xp grind, less sit out time, etc)

Thanks for all the replies.. Good info, I'll try and find a decent LP tonight...hit some quenkers like I did for TKA.. and start working up the commando trees as everyone states, but have fun killing stuff in the process and not 'grinding' for sake of grinding but having fun, thanks!!
