I still have 23boxes to fill, well once I actually unlock all branches. Am I better changing my Master Doc\Swordsman template and go Commando?

I am using the C12 method and cap combat XP in a single buff session, but was wondering if it is worth the time getting 4-0-0-0 Commando. Obviously I would need to drop Doctor and pick up all of Marksman, then the grenades line.

Also, I get around 5.5 combat Xp from Huurton Stalkers on Dantooine using grenades, would I still get the same from say Thermal Detenators in Commando, or is there any kind of xp cap? I'm sure there is for Heavy Weapons, but not sure about grenades.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

The benefit to getting 4/0/0/0 commando is that things die faster...waaaay faster.

xp will be the same, as long as you still have one master elite profession.

It was worth it for me.....I actually mastered commandofor the use of Proton Grenades. Thermal Dets w/ powerups should do about the same dmg. Don't get me wrong it is still a long and boring grind, not as long and as boring as some of your other choices though. The worst part isthe cost of grenades, depending on your server andwho you are doing business with I was paying anywhere from 60 to 75,000 credits per crate for protons........I guess itis a sellers market when it comes to nades. I ended up using around 50 or 60 crates so it does hit your wallet a little,and if you run into a dryspell where you can't find anyoneselling grenades you are kina hosed for awhile. All in all though IMHO the grind wasn't that bad and I am now just waiting for the new phases so I can spend all the xp I collected. Hope this helps

what about crafting trees, are they any good at all? or is it much better to just do combat......

Personally, my template is Master Rifles, Master Marksman, TK 4003, Commando 3030 (I was Commando 0140 at one point). Imp Dets are TOTALLY WORTH IT. I cap combat xp 2-3 times per buff session, depending upon how far the missions are, how badly I am damaged, if I get caught up facing Rancors, NSers, etc.

I have pretty high ranged and melee defense, and the Imp Dets do 3x more damage than C-12s. C-12s for me were like 700 or so damage, Imp Dets are like 2100 damage....before trying this, I thought it would take FOREVER to get this fs xp.....but the Imp Dets work great. Make sure you have armor repair kits, because I know that my armor takes a beating, and my bf is usually ridiculously high....having TK to meditate off the wounds helps greatly as well. I should master one tree in about a week, only playing 3hrs a day.

Oh, and make sure you get sliced armor for blast, or at minimum 80% blast comp. All my armor is sliced above 85% for blast.....

4000 with 23 boxes left is a must. You can cap Combat xp three times a buff session if you use thermals on quenkers. Thats 900,000 Combat XP a buff session. that isnt grinding your rifleman,tka etc those are far too slow compared to just grenades. 300K fs xp an hour from grenades alone is just perfect for me. I stopped using my rifle except to finish off lair just isnt worth it.

I also reccomend Thermal dentonators over Imperial Dentonators. The Imperials may have a little higher damage but are only Ap1 and cost more in terms of resources etc. Thermals are the way to go

The only thing is Thermal Detonators are both expensive and rare. I might be best just using the C12's and chill a little....there is plenty of time to grind, I have only unlocked two branches.

Take it from me, doing it myself.

Get 4xxx Commando, you can easily get 600-900k Combat! XP a buff session on dantooine using the tactic you use.

1 Hard day of grinding this and you can fill a whole FS tree, I've done it myself.

well its pretty simple. C12 method get 300K Combat xp a buff session. 4000 Commando with thermals gets nearly 1 million a buff session in combat xp. all depends on how fast ya want jedi

Except the quests are gated. You can grind all you want, once you've filled that tree, you're not getting to Jedi any quicker. You still have to wait for the next phase to start. Now on your last needed tree the above post would be more accurate. I'm just using C12's and am capable of filling the tree long before the phase shifts. For me, reworking my template for commando would've been too much. For someone already close to commando, go for it.
