Commando Archive

My main skill set so far is Teras Kasi (1/4/4/2).

I have had no trouble tearing through mobs on Dantooine (buffs/armor), using UnarmedHit2 I dish out 1100-1600 damage just about every second. I would like some information on what the damage output of a MasterCommando is like: using all the variousCommando specificweapons. I'm trying to get a comparison with my current TKA skills. I really like the big explosions that most of the Commando weapons make, and I just like the idea of being a heavy weapons user.

I've read some thread and have heard some people in game say that "Commandos suck in PVP!" Honestly, how bad is it? Is theCommando profession so broken that theylose in PVP regardless of player skill? Do they only really suck in solo/duels? What about mass group PVP?

I want a good to great PVE profession, but also a profession that can do at least decent in PVP (group or solo).

I'm just looking for some honest opinions on how Commandos do in both game aspects, PVE and PVP. Damage, fun (subjective, I know), etc.

Thanks!
