Hi, im returning to the game after a while, and ive been reading a bit about the combat revamp, although i really dont know much about it. One thing is for sure, I LOVE the commando profession and i want to hunt Jedis. Is some kind of a BH/Commando combo viable? What about Commando/TK? Need some detailed advice and such on what exactly is going to work out for me. Thanks!

well, BH is a bad idea. BH require either master pistols, rifle or carbines too. its a "full attention" prof.
my alt is MC and master smugglar. nice area restraint attacks witht he flamethrowers

its about having the biggest balls in the group

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

Commando/BH is EXTREMELY deadly. The only bad part is the healing. Commando/Rifleman has great output damage, but no root or KD. But you can heal really well with 4000 CM. Smuggler doesnt do much damage from my day of experiencing it. I couldnt stand it. Pistoleer doesnt do massive damage either, but can root. Carbineers are good for aoe damage attacks, imo. Rocket Launcher aoe = schweet.


I like rifleman because you also get great weapons to use at other times.

any more input from the community? What EXACTLY about commando/BH does or does not work? What are the standards for any character template to work well? I.E. is some sort of doctor line considered mandatory in order for a character to be viable for PvP?

I'm smuggler/commando/pistoleer (I like the pistols lol)

while I'm not certainly the best 1 vs 1...I think in groups I'm helpful. I can area all of pistoleer and smuggler's specials...area concussion, root, etc. is fun.

but then I guess that is my playstyle...hang back and do support duty...I've never really been the in your face type.

I pretty much use the acid streamer while in group pvp...if we're inside a tight spot, like bases, I'll switch to launcher pistol (has very low sac but low damage too). And whenever I need to do damage, I'll switch back to my pistols.


to me this game is about group combat now...and I think the smuggler/commando combo is perfect for the support types.

oh as for doctor stuff...sure it'd help..but being support role, hopefully the enemies will be concentrating on the jedi in front of them and if they don't, you can use stims. of course...if someone IS on me, there's always FD until they become preoccupied, usually takes 3 seconds then I'm back up

BH and Commando is quite fun actually.


Post CU, I have done:


Commando / Pistoleer - fun, a little limited on damage


Commando / Smuggler - area mezzes, crowd control


Commando / Rifleman - Pretty decent actually. But remember its the Rifleman that is making it viable, using the Commandos mod bonuses - not the other way around.


Commando / Carbineer - Another really good combo. Carbs have (ironic, considering they are supposed to be crowd control) the best damage special in the game, nice AoE's. Again, its the Carbineer that is making the combo viable. Commando improves Carbineer in the form of mod bonuses (starting to see a trend here), whereas Carbineer improves Commando by virtue of its diverse attacks.



Playing a BH / Commando right now. Not to hunt Jedi, but for the diversity that BH has. Its pretty useful to Commando, actually. I'm having fun with it. Mostly I am doing it for the missions / loot when that hits live. Unfortunately, I cant get/keep 4000 CM with it, so its bit limited on healing.
