As above wich is better for PVE, should i dabble in commando or bounty hunter or perhaps both?

im currently a master commando, but i just ran a master bh on TC2, and i was reallly impressed with the LLC capabilities. The FT still DOTs occasionally, but the LLC is fast and delivers powerful strikes over a short period of time.
not to mention the fact that the majority of the game is now resistant to fire and acid. dabble with both and see what you think, but until the CB hits, commandos are extremely limited by comparison to the bh.

The llc is great for the recent dungeons, due to the SBD's, but the flamethrower does have the DOT, which is very nice. Overall, I'd say they are about equal.

Yes, with the new BH requirements, I tried a Master Commando/BH 0044/Pistoleer 0030 template. The LLC was quite nice and gives me proficiency with all the heavy weapons in the game. The BH Pistols line w/ a bit ofPistoleerwould enable good use of the Launcher Pistol, although good primarily against single targets.

Both are great but you definately need a speed sliced flamethrower even at flames 4, I had both the flamethrower and LLC trees for a short while and I was able to put SBDs on fire in the DWB then work them off with a 2.6 speed sliced LLC which is amazingly fast. If I used my 1200 max dmg flamethrower the burn dot gets rather large with a 15K+ dmg hit from flamesingle2.
Both are good depending on heat and electricity resits and vulnurability.

Lets compare... 
On average, the LLC is about the same dmg of a HAR...but faster, and Ap1
On average, the FT is 450-850 @ 4 to 4.5 speed
With specials, the LLC can fire every 2 seconds at LLC IV i hear....no delay (shows in that DPS spreadsheet...the LLC got like 29 shots off opposed to like 8 or 10 FT specials
Electrical vs Heat damage types....alot more mobs are less resistant to electrical dmg (higher ups...especially with the SBDs as mentioned above)
The LLC is exactly what our HAR shouldve been, if not our entire Special Hvy Weapons array....it is a superior weapon except for 2 key things:
1) Unbuffed, Lighting Single 2 is a KILLER on ham.....none of our specials are like that (perhaps the original balance?)
2) No DoT....against mobs which has high resists even for the LLC, our DoT is still the single most helpful thing to any group....unfortunately it is not entirely beneficial to us as it detracts from our xp (and our FP i believe) as well as does not grant us looting rights......also I have heard the Devs are going to have an electrical dot for the LLC...
If that happens...and the Ham costs are reduced...the LLC will be far superior to anything we field currently....

Different weapons for different targets. What it comes down to is resists. For the DOT(and things it works on) and the HAM cost the FT holds the edge. For churning out raw damage on mobs without high electrical resists..hands down the llc.If I am buffed I usually use the LLC by preference but then it is whatI am most used to.

I imagine having both would be nice, since you have both the nice flame dot and electricity dmg vs droids

Thanks for the advice, guess ill just have to try both out. I might just keep both of them i kinda like the idea
of LLC and FT + LP as main weapons, should be good for DWB and Corvette
