Commando Archive

hi

I'm a Master Creature Handler and a commando 0/0/4/0

i have enough XP to master commando at any given moment ,

i was wondering if it is wize to Master commando and to keep CH at say 1/1/0/0 for use of GSP or gran wrix as a small tank.

no doubt that a MCH with flame 4 is prolly the strogest PvE tamplet , but i want to get more into PvP .

so i was wondering if some ppl could share their knowledge and advice me on what to do .

thx for ur help.

any 1? help ? opinion?

bump

Pretend this is a bump while I heckle..

you really have that much xp? Mine caps at 900k and thats only 2 IV boxes..

You nailed it with the PvP vs. PvE. If you're going PvP there is no need for a great pet (skilled PvP go for players not pets)... but, like you said, for PvE, CH+Flame4 is deadly. You can actually get up to Master Commando (and FlameCone2), and still keep CH 3.2... giving you the graul mauler... which as you know, ain't a bad pet. For a PvP focus it'd probably be better to have more medic than CH... I trained up CH on my way to Master, but now I'm thinking of whether to drop it completely. Anyway,if you still need the tank you can always whip out a Rock Beetle with zero CH (again, as you probably know). Not sure if that helped any, but you get a bump at least.

For PvP I agree that creature handler is not needed. You'd be better off spending skill points on getting yourself either better innate defenses (by taking up the Pistoleer Techniques and/or Teras Kasi Precision trees) or by getting yourself a decent knockdown or other special combat moves (knockdowns greatly amplify the damage you do, stun and intimidate attacks further reduce your chance of being hit, etc).

My favorite move (I have a macro) is to use Pistol Melee Defense 1 with my Launcher Pistol (which knocks my opponent down about half the time) followed by an immediate FlameCone 2 (Flame Single 2 if you don't have Master). If it works, I can easily do about 2000-3000 damage in a PvP fight against a knocked down opponent, plus I attach my DoT to them.

Novice Medic skills are also a must in PvP. You may have comrades who will heal you, but it's always best to have a back up plan.

well after grinding the idea in my head i did this:

i dropped my Maser Creaure Handler , and spending my points in master commando , i still 2 boxes of FIeld tactics to fill and 3 more of acid rifle , but other than that i have all ,

so why Drop MCH u say ;?

ok ill tell you why .

FIrst off let me say that a MCH is the MOST powerfull profession in PvE in the game aside from master jedi prolly .

i had MCH with flame 4 and i was killing dark jedi masters with me not even hurt.

so for all you PvE fellas out there def. go with that .

BUT

In PvP its about how fast u can take multiple opponents down , now Master commando gets flame cone 2 and proton nades.

get those skills plus a decent tank pet , u can even keep CH 1/1/0/0 and use a GSP which has 8K HAM and 60% resis to kinetic , with those skills plus some medic skills , ur all set for PvP.

hope that helps any of you that are thinking about this .

LOL, can we say you are FULL OF SH*T. The cap on Heavy Weapons Support XP is only 900K and that isnt even enough to get youa fulltree of either Heavy Weapons Support or Acid Rifle. So dont come in here talkin like u are some BAD A$$, when you are liying to us, about being able to be master anytime u want, when we actually worked hard for our master title.I would like to helpyou out with your topicsince i used to be a CH myself, but i dont deal with BS'ers.

Smuggler, piss off - I've got money on the guy having had his finger slip off the S key and hit X. There's no call to come into out forums and be alittle punkto everyone that moves. These forums are about helping out other people, not flagrantly flaming anyone who commits the grave offense of commiting a typo (especially when you're still on the convention of usng "u" instead of "you") or posting something which you even mildly disagree with.

by the time this thread was made i had 0/4/4/0 perhaps i made a typo ...

dont know dont care ...

all i can say is im master commando now , you can come check me out at shadowfire if you want proof and dont come here flamming me...**edit** children .

TAM your 100% correct these forums are meant to help out 1 another , geez i made a typo it should have 0/4/4/0 insted of 0/0/4/0 ,,,, and yes i did cap XP in the 900,000 and my combat XP capped at 170,000

but for me to get the rest of the combat XP is easy enough just need to grind on dantooine for 4-5 hours , i made 3.5K XP on each kill in dantooine and i got around 300-400 combat XP for each, i cant remember if it was 2 or 1 day that took me to make field tactics 3 and 4 cuz i only trained it the next day and when i did it said i could train both didnt even know that .

any ways , as great as it is to have 2 graul maulers out and being able to solo anything in SWG ( as a MCH), PvP wize i'd have to recommend master commano with CH 1/1/0/0 so u can keep a GSP orGrand wrixfor a medium tank , dont forget that GSP's have 8K H/A/M with 60% resis to kinetic which is what most PvE does. so i also keep enjoying the PvE but PvP is great now , if im an trouble i just use 1 RL and my trouble is gone .

thx for ur help and advice guys .
