Well what can I say, I have just came back after 9months of no play and respeced myself to Master Marksman, Master Rifleman, Master Commando....I am really struggling with how my hotbars should be setup, what are the best skills to use while attacking opponents....What are the best armour and weapons to get my hands on.....I feel like a complete an utter newbie.....Loads of money, but absolutely no idea what I am doing.......
Any guidance & advice from people would be really appreciated.
you poor sot.... Rifleman commando is totally broken.
if you just returned you should have a 2 week period of respecing - during this period I do suggest that you try all the different skills and see what they do. (to bad commandos have no skills....)
as was stated in another thread
ranged shot > headshot for DPS over time
Startleshot has a wonderful delay on our highest level version of the attack (use it to give your self a break as they can't fight or heal or do anything other then move while under its effects)
Snipershot is a wonderful opener
cover/conceal .... ok for soloing but its long term utility is questionable.
next you will see multiple versions of a skill in your skill tree - the only one that you can use is the top version you have. All others are superseeded and are not available.

the only commando template that is semi viable is commando smuggler or commando pistoleer. You aren't going to kill very many people, but you can control a much larger gtoup than yourself so others can kill them.

I play that template on wanderhome ^_^
but rifleman commando T_T is a sorrowful thing T_T
why I retired audri. I love both the the proffessions, but they are severly gimped together /sigh
Well thats me screwed, not sure what to do now......I have been informed that there is no more respeccing allowed...So I am stuck with Commando and Rifleman.....Boo Hoo
I was looking forward to shooting from afar hidden & one shot one kill.....
There is so much to get my head round after nine months...
To make the best of it, if I were you, I'd go Smuggler 4-0-4-0 with the rest of your SP:
Concussion, Feign Death, and Last Ditch......... Very useful
