Thread: Question for those using Commando to grind
It seems they recently changed something about the Dantooine spawns. Last week I was using C-12s to cut through bols like butter, this week not they, nor glops are doing anything.
So I used lesser bols to get to 3000 commando... now what should I hunt?
I tried using Imp detonators on Pikets, and got my arse handed to me (yes, I was armored and buffed).
Seems they CAN take out bols, but only one at a time, and really slowly.
So what should I be hunting with these things that will give me a decent xp return and yet not send me to the cloning facility?
Thanks

I use huurton stalkers, good xp and lots of spawns especially in second wave.
Huurtons always put a hurtin' on me (sorry, I couldn't resist).
Wonder what I'm doing wrong.
As for the giant bazs, I'll give them a try, but I have a bad feeling about this.

If your having problems with pikets and other creatures on dantooine....baz nitches will give you problems as well...they do more damage than pikets and have more HAM....sounds to me you have another kind of problem....Probably thearmor andgrenade damage type your using.
The thing you have to remember is that the nades will damage you too....so make sure the armor you wear has a high resist to the type of grenade you use...if you use glops, make sure your acid resist is high, if you use imp detonators, make sure your heat resist is high (or is imp det. blast...I get them mixed up sometimes)......Ubese armor is no good for grinding with nades, the resist is just too low...you'll damage yourself faster than the mobs can.
I know this for a fact....I use to kill myself all the time with nades, then I went and pulled out my best armor 80 kinetic / 80 electricity / 80 energyand 70% base (got 3 suits like that and numerous others with 69% base and 70% to electricity and kinetic).
It also helps to have some medic skills or TKA....the defense toughness from TKA will improve your defense and you take less damage. Also, use a COB macro...that should help.
personally, I grind on pikets longhorns....and I believe feirce piket protectors or the piket females are completely vulnerable to blast damage.....I kill them with 3 nades usually (thermals or imp detonators...takes minimum 3 - 4 stacks of c22's.....and a heck of lot of stacks of c12's)
My HAM never gets below half when using the above......now if your a pure commando....your out of luck unless you get fencer or pistoleer to go with it...commando has virtually no defense against anything.....other than smuggler, commando has the lowest defense of all the combat professions....
Just remember, the armor you wear and the type of nade you use are the most important besides buffs....

All you need to know.
Yeah gives 65k combat xp per lair if you use all nades on them.

im 4000 in commando. i use thermal gernades on giant baz nitch lairs on dath. i get two missions near the village. once i finish both lairs. i capp my combat xp. i get 150k xp per lair. times two i get capped. this leaves me 4k away from the village. so im all good. two sets of missions gets me 200k fs xp.
I hope you meant to say you get 150k combat xp for 2 missions and not per lair....I assume you meant that because your last sentence says you get 200k for 2 sets of missions.....which I take as 4 total missions.
otherwise,you have to kill about 27 - 30 baz nitches per lair to get 150k combat xp on one lair.....i'm sorry, even in a 20 player group missions don't spawn that many per lair.
