Hey folks, I'm grinding up commando at the moment (I know, I must be an idiot), and I'm trying to figure something out. I prefer grinding in a spin group to anything else, and do it when possible. I know innateAoE is broken, but is there any weapon I can use that either doesnt have built-in AoE or actually works with an AoE attack? I have tried my rocket launcher and my corellian destroyer (I'm 0030 atm) but both of those don't even show "does 1 elemental damage" half of the time.


Thanks -

Use a launcher pistol. Just shoot the lair and you'll hit everything around it. Has low damage and dps so you wont catch any agro.

If you're 0.0.3.0 Commando, then you've got access to the lower level Flamethrower, which is excellent for spin groups.


Stand back about 25 - 30 meters, target the middle, and spray away. If you're missing any of them (you probably won't be) you can always move around the base, encircling it. As long as the folks on the lair are holding the aggro, you'll stack up the exp in no time. Plus, you'll have a pretty good chance of catching some (or all) of the mobs on fire, and landing a 350+ burn DoT.

All Commando Weapons trump the AOE of AOE attacks with their own innate AOE. This is even the case for weapons that don't appear to have AOE (Rocket Launcher, Corellian Destroyer, Heavy Acid Rifle, Heavy Particle Beam Cannon?, Proton Rifle). So you fire an AOE special, and get the same effect if you used Ranged Shot with the weapon.
