Thread: [Template]Smuggler/Commando...what to use spare points on ?
I have a character I am taking Master Swordsman / Master Smuggler / Commando 4000.
A Trandoshan named 'Hammer Brother ![]()
I'm smuggler/commando on one of my toons and nov merchant/ pistols0002 (needed vendors).
ButI would really recommend (andI hate saying this so very, very much) FOTM CM4000. I've been trying some solo content like Blacksun ect and the lack of healing really screws me over. Any template without healing seems usless solo atm, it's amazing how quickly ruby fills you up, even with concussion shot to 30 second mez.

I am want to go commando (again) and im thinking of doing it with Smuggler, since there is no smugglers online anymore and they got good crowd control.
Due to the fact i need novice Artisan, (for surveying) im wondering if i can rely on the smugler specials and put my remaining skillpoints in medic tree or if i have to pick something like Pistols 4000, for bodyshot and extra speed/acc. ?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Yes im aware that commando dotn have any specials of their own.
I also plan on getting Medic 0010 and already have a Healing eff. shirt 25+, so i hope thats enuff.
My biggest concern atm is , is the smuggler specials enuff ? or is it a must to par it with pistol?
I have a tier 4 in pistoleer to pick, what should it be? 4000 for bodyshot or intim or stopping ?
I know "cm" is the temp of the moment
However I , have MCommando Msmuggler Pistols x3x4 medic xx2x
I find with +25 HE in tapes I can heal just find with the shot.
Now root with a blackscale acid launcer or other area weapon is awesome.
Then you toggle imp fan /imp burst on a group with a area weapon and you can take out huge mobs before they even run
What i do is this... root with rocketlaucher... knocks all down and roots... then burst with blackscale... blinds and stun all.. then fan / burst with plasma then fan / burst with LBC this will get burns going... then when blind wears off switch back to blackscale to blind group again.
Most mobs if you use you area weapons right (if commanod learn to swich weapons between shots) I will take out a mob before it even has a chance to attack... if i get in trouble I can area concussion with the blackscale (nothing that cuases dots) which gives me 40 seconds to pick at one with my proton rifle or get away.
You play your temp right... and the cm4xxx healing power is not necessary
