I was thinking either to buy a EnH flamethrower or a EnH Acid Rifle?? which one is more effecient for a (going for master)pistoleer/Cammando?
Oh is field tatics good?? i like the melee def but dont know if the grenades are even worth it?

Flamethrower. The Acid Rifle isn't much use right now. Melee Def in Field Tactics? What?

FT hands down. And if you dont plan on mastering commando like some of us suckers, dont get field tactics.

I use my FT 95% of the time. Although the Acid rifle does have it's uses as a backup weapon(works well on SBD's, Tusken Observers, etc...). The Acid rifle is slower, does less damage, has no DOTand the HAM costs are insane! Using FlameSingle2 on my FT hit my health for 15 points, whereas AcidSingle2 will hit me for over 120 points!
Keep in mind too, that even though the newer mobs are heat resistant, FlameSingle and FlameCone will still put DOT's on the enemy.

i am a master commamdo pistoleer, and i can say you get more defence from one box of pistoleer than all of commando. id say do the stance tree of pistoleer before feild tatics, its way mot usefull, work up flame tree first, than it doesnt matter. once you get pistol melee defence 1, knock thing down with you r launcher pistol and you can it for alot more damage than when they're standing, flamewave 2 hits for 11k + dmg.
so thats my advice.

As a Master Commando, I use the Flamethrower 90% of the time. The rest, I use the Hvy Acid Rifle for 2 reasons: Variety and the Cool, Big Gun Factor. My current HAR kills my HAM if I use a special but at least it's at 3.9 speed. If I use it, it's only for singleshots with no specials.
I never use the consumables since they're unreliable and expensive. I don't have pistoleer, so there goes the LP.
With these in mind, if the target happens to have armor... well, my incompetent butt is in trouble

If you are a master pistoleer and have fan shot (I believe that is the special) then yes get one. I have never tried it out but I hear that it packs a punch.

Only use field tactics
you need it for master commando- and the kick butt modds that come with it
I take my advanced FT over any acid rifle- no dot

if you are only going to choose one get the FT, though the HAR does have its occasional uses.
