I was a squad leader / commando after the CU for a long time, untill I unlocked my glowbat. Now with the changes to commando and SL I find myself tempted to make my alt the power house warmonger that I always wanted to be (plus I have all the guns still).

So far the theory is master commando - master squadleader - 37 points spare.

I used to have pistoleer and bounty hunter in my template to get some specials, do I still want to take a branch of another ranged template? If so any suggestions. Or should I use the points in medic and healing?

Im looking to be the heavy hitting nuker in the group, would rifleman suit me well, either with concealment or snipershot?

I have been a SL/Commando before dropping SL for Pistoleer because not having specials blows (before pub 24 was announced or I may have waited). The specials on commando now are pretty impressive, but all are on timer demonstrating our role as group support and not tank or assault. I have seen the new SL buffs in action and they are impressive, but most don't apply to you if you are not grouped. So, the moral of the story is... if you are planning on doing a lot of grouped stuff with your friends/guildies then SL/Commando is a force to be reckoned with, if you plan on going it alone i recommend you forget SL and go with pistols or carbines.

If you do decide to go SL/Commando I recommend one of 2 routes... With 37 points to spare you can get novice medic and the branch with healing efficiency, you will probably want this because you are going to attract a lot of attention to yourself both in PvP and PvE. Or if you are fearless or run with a Doc or CM all the time you can go with either the pistol or carbine tree of marksman and then get the best benefits you can from one of those elite profs. It will cost you 14 points for the marksman tree, then 6 for the elite novice, leaving you 17 points to play with... so for example you could go with pistoleer and get improved stopping shot, which is really nice when you aggro a group of high level mobs with your PFT or LBC.

Just some ideas, hope they help...
