Thread: Which is better for pvp? Master Gunfigter or Commando (level 4 flame )
Anyway, I'm 4-4-3-4 in pistoleer, master smuggler, and ft 4 in commando. I have enough pistol xp to get master gunfighter and drop to ft 3, but I'm testing ft 4 first.
There's a big damage difference between flamesingle 1 and the flamesingle 2 you get with ft 4 and a slightly noticable speed difference between ft 3 and ft4. But I find that, in fighting imperial npc's I like the big damage from ft 4 but I'm still really just after the fire DOT and I use flamecone 1 more than flamesingle 2. Once I land the DOT I switch to pistol for the superior defenses and big damage launcher pistol.
So... I believe I'm going to drop to ft 3 and go master gunfighter but would like to get some pvp data before making the switch. In pvp the extra damage from flamesingle1, especially after a low blow, might be better than the extra defenses and pistol speed from master gunfighter.
Hmm, I guess it is just my perception but commandos with flamethrowers seem so very lethal.
I'm a master gunfighter and I'm also up to dirty fighting III now. It is nice to have the delay and the ranged knockdown. It makes a noticable difference over pure pistoleer. Still, I don't like the thought of engaging the spitfires out there. You are usually incapacitated before your computer can even render the flame animation. I guess staying at long ranges from people with zippos is a good survival strategy.
I have level 4 flame now and i find it very difficult to get close enough to get a flamesingle to land. by the time i get close enough, the person is running away spamming their specials and i ususally end up dead lol. I got grenadeer with the intents of being a betteer pvp but i usually find myself relying on my Teras Kasi skills most of the time anyway. Still deciding which to do... but the idea of never missing with my pistol seems very nice at the moment. Fan shot and last ditch do crazy damage which i've discovered the hard way and the fact they r able to b done every second is VERY appealing. Anyway, all in all i'm weighing more toward Master Gunfighter. Thanks all for ur opinions. any tips for xp will be appreciated.

In pvp the flames ARE lethal. Ft 4 is WORTH it. Flamesingle 2 is nuts, I have the dirty fighting skill so I range KD alot.. if u get him down with suppress or the KD he is done, period. If somehow he gets u, he is still finished... the bleed will crucify him to ash. I have been db'd by my prey on occasion only to have himfall next to me... BEWARE do not use this in 'gentleman duels' , it is only for pvp... the wounds it leaves will get u called alot of names.- oh and by the way do not grief commandos...they will torch u and then not DB, which allows u to see your bar go black as ulaythere....
I have a macro for the Ft. it allows me to use the flamesingle 2 like a special... when they go down I dance in andhit the 'hotkey' and it switches me from my pistol to the ft, cooks em, and has me switched back rdy for the next pistol bombardment.
The thing about ft 4 is the spd and accuracy.... with the xtra skill box u get about 15 to each or something... this allows u to hit faster and more often with it. Flame single 2 is faster to recover from also... the flame1's leave u open for about 12secs and can be the tide turner if u miss... u are basically a sitting duck for those 12 secs.... Flame single 2 seems to be 8 secs and u execute it a bit faster...
