i used to play commando long time ago, and i cameback after CU.
I tried to do other professions with my alt.....but i miss the smell of flame.
i respected to commando last night.
and......WTH.....what happened to commando? it' kind of shocked to me...anyway, i know since CU the game has changed a lot...so i won't complain about what i did and commando.
just please explain what is the best weapon and tactics for commando.
1. i'm 1044 commando....and i'm using FT.... i realzied that all the marksman skills wont work with heavy weapons... so does this mean no skills for heavy weapons?
2. i found out that plasma flame thrower is the best weapon for commando but since i'm not a master yet, what should i use?
3. i'm a master CH...with commando...what other professions can be the best for my temp?
4. does anyone know when dev will patch for commando?
thank you

Marksman skills DO work with your Heavy Weapons. Your specials aren't seperated by profession anymore. Instead they are classified into two catagories: Ranged and Melee. If you are weilding a melee weapon, you can use any melee special that you know. Ditto for ranged. So yes, you can use your Marksman specials with your flamethrower. As far as what the best weapon is for your current skillset... well that's a tough one but I think the Acid Stream Launcher or the Flame Thrower would be good choices. Once you get up the Beam branch, get the Heavy Lightning Beam Cannon. That thing rocks. When you hit master... the Plasma Flame Thrower is your friend. :-) Just ignore Grenades, they are gimped beyond belief.
As far as other professions go... a lot of people say that Carbineer works really well for the versatility of specials (dmg/cc). Personally I took a bit of medic along with Teras Kasi Master for the defense and Placed Shot (Marksman 0010) to speed up my ranged attacks. I would suggest just picking another profession that you have fun playing, because if you're looking to be a powerhouse killer... Commando isn't it. We're still broken and probably always will be. :-) If you want to do damage... maybe do a Rifleman + Bounty Hunter combo or something. Just off the top of my head, I think Master Combat Medic would work really well with your Master Creature Handler profession. Send your pet into the fight, debuff to hell, shoot up the mob a bit and done.

thank you so much.
can i ask one more question? I got a flame thrower and a heavy acid rifle. Both of them do area attack...and i wanna get a commando weapon that do single attack. since i'm new to commando...can you tell what weapon does single attack?
i'm a commando 1044 CL66.
thank you
Unfortunatly, the only heavy weapon that does NOT do AOE is the proton rifle, and it is a rare loot drop, and is a master commando weapon. I had to buy mine as I never saw it as loot.(well I didn't really look that hard either)
But it is the highest damage weapon I have used to date. It rocks with 8% damage slice and a SAC pup. got it down to 88 SAC. I have seen myself hit up to a little over 2k damage(rare occurance) and average between 800-1600 points of damage when going through the mydryyyl(sp?) caverns
But again, you unfortunatly have to wait to master commando to use it.

Unless it was supposed to and is now fixed, my Heavy Acid rifle has always been non-AoE.

Hrm...I always thought the HAR had AoE, just a smaller AoE cone than everything else we have.

Well that's the thing, I haven't used it in awhile and it may have been that mine was broken. I will test it out later and give my findings. If it is not AoE, then you have something to go and grind with, you head will just be really flashy from all the 'blind' you will accumulate.
