The good old launcher pistol should not give AOE effects. Also (although not 100% sure) using some marksman skills like Ranged Shot will also only hit one target.



But all in all Id use a launcher pistol I think, although I cant see why you should not be allowed to use a FT in the group, just stay at range and shoot the creature once it charges.. I do this all the time and I dont agro other mobs.. remember the 25meter range on the FT and use that.. just stand at max range if possible.

Pardon me if this has been answered somewhere else but yesterday was the 2nd time I've logged in to SWG after the CU update. I am currently a TKM and Commando 4,0,3,1.I tried utilizing the double exp week and joined several groups yesterday to get my Heavy Weapons Exp up to Master. However each time I would try attacking a mob someone would complain about not using AOE attacks. So the question is where the heck can I get a Novice Commando weapon that doesn't have a AOE attack built into it? Otherwise I'm forced to either do solo missions, find groupswith only Long Rangeand Commandos in them, and last is dropping the Profession all togethor which I really don't want to do.

Launcher pistol has a small AE.

Make sure you wait till the mob is near the group before using it.

Get 0010 as fast as possible and get a rocket launcher. IMO best grinding gun out there for commando.

Tiny AE, I think 6m around the center of the mob. Fairly fast firing, and KD!

I use it with startle shot on auto attack and although it is low damage most of the time the mob never gets a chance to hit before the group finishes it off.
