Commando Archive

One thing....your not thinking about the bigger picture in all of this....when vehicles come in..scouting isnt necessary...hell when mounts come in...they wont matter at all cause i will have my rocket launcher on my shoulder riding a torton screamin obscentities....so for now scouting is fine...but soon...you can drop it for something better...maybe grab medic....hell i will..

Im with ya on that... I'd love to untrain some of it and add some medic, but until the mounts and vechicles come that's where I'm at. Personally... I'll be riding the speeder with my rocketlauncher - hehe. fun fun... come on devs get us live! We're drooling.

First, thanks to all the folks keeping us informed on TC changes and filling in for our non-existant Correspondant. I finally see a light at the end of this tunnel... I'm just hoping it doesn't go out. That said, I'm thinking about my future role as a commando. What's my tree going to look like. I did some number crunching the other day, and this is what I've come up with...

Lets start with the base of Master Commando (63 pts) with the prereqs of Master Marksman (77 pts) and Unarmed (29 pts). Based on that these are my adds...

Scout (45 pts): 5 / 0 / 5 / 1

Creature Handler (25 pts): 1 / 2 /1 / 0

Pistoleer (11 pts): 0 / 1 / 0 / 0

This totals up to the 250 - if not someone please speak up, but I think it does.

As to the why:

Scout: Explore is a must, period (maybe not to !V but I had an extra 2 so why not). Hunting is for CH and Survival for the base camp.

Creature Handler: Why? Until they fix us, I need help to "solo". Plus the LP doesn't lag my pet - nor does it yell "I can't see, quit using that gun". And, pets serve as a descent tanks, and as they are everywhere you can always get a new one. With the set upabove I get all the base commands (except Group),a 6000+ ham pet, and storage for 3. Not only that, its a decent way to make money as most of the critters that I'm training can be used by all players. Realisticly? This will be the one I drop depending on how our rle is defined.

Pistoleer: Marksmanship for the base increase.I know many of you will probably invest heavily in this tree but, personally, I don't want to use my Launcher pistol and with the CH option I SHOULD be able to stick to the flame thrower, or at least that is my hope.Plus based on our lousy defense, we need someone else to be the lead. We are battle enders. That may mean we finish it before it starts at times, but for the big ones, we need someone else to take the initial damage so we can stick it out.

Again, this is what I'm planning as of NOW and may change as we develop as a profession.
