I am seeking my second profession. Working on TKA now, but i'd rather have more RP. Commando can kick ass in pvp, and same with TKA, but i noticed i hate it. I'm kind of leaning toward Smuggler, once master TKA.
Anyone think this (commando/Smuggler) is a better combo then Commando/TKA?

Nice.. not everyone has perfect grammar...
Anywho.. if you're looking for a profession with RP potential, than Smuggler is a good choice.
You won't be exactly 'uber' in terms of the damage you can do (well moreso than commando anyway
)
BUT, I've been a Master Smuggler for.. oh.. about 10 or 11 months now, and I'm still having a blast with it 
Guess that makes me biased towards it a smidgen

I am a Master Smuggler and am currently working on commando and I love the combo. Setting things on fire then feigning death is a lot of fun when you are in a pinch. I have never tried TKA so I can't say if this combo is better. I can tell you I am really enjoying it.

You must not be an English Major either. That isn't even a complete sentence. You don't even have a verb in it. What you should have said is "Are you an English Major?" or "You must not be an English Major".

Commando's are great in PvP, just gotta hit ya... ![]()
I've been deep-sixed by multiple commando's in my time... though I wasn't a master of anything yet.. and I wasn't buffed.. and I wasn't wearing armor.. and I was lagging pretty badly..
Err.. nevermind... ![]()

By way of a restatement:
My apologies, Insane. I was out of line. Sarcasm gets the best of me at times....

I'm master commando/master smuggler with pistoleer 0030
I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Flamethrower and the launcher pistol are easily two of the coolest weapons in the game. Then throw in novice pistoleer with 0030 you have a wide variety of damage types and decent specials for all of them. I feel it gives me a lot of versatility in PVE. I however have not pvp'd yet since i'm just finishing up my template tonight (two more quenker missions to go to finish pistol techniques 3) but i hear commandos have poor accuracy in pvp. but with all the damage types we have available (energy, kinetic, blast, acid, fire, stun and not to mention whatever damage types all the grenades do) there's bound to be a way you can defeat everyone you confront.

TKM - No need to explain why here.
flamethrower 4 - Like you said, FT is just fun
scout 3,0,0,0 - Because walking up hills in slow motion sucks, plus being able to get animal resourcesisalways handy.
slice 4 - Sure my slicing isn't as good as a Master Smuggler but anyone who is reading this knows how fun slicing is.
I don't PvP and can't really help the community much at all, but I'm lovin' my odd template... but then again I get happy when I get a treasure map. /shrug

if you want to PvP with commando I just suggest commando 0340 TKM fencer 0200 pistoleer 0040 fencer 0200
seems to be the best compromise between defenses and skills
don't forget your accuracy food!
If you don't like TKM you can drop all but the defense and pick up more commando boxes. but IMO TKM is great for settings a victim up to take maximum damage from your FT

I am both a smuggler and commando and I have fun with both. When the spice grind gets boring grab a flamethrower and burn some stuff. However, if you read the commando thread, you will find you that commando has some nasty pvp issues. Hopefully the devs will fix this (if they write some good code and stay away from the crack parties) and commando will rock once again. However if you want some good pvp action your best bet is some tka

smuggler, commando, pistoleer, and maybe some tka if I can stand to grind past the unarmed
