Well i've just about had enough of my M. Smuggler / M. Pistoleer / CM 4000 Template.I enjoy the crowd control and the healing it offers, but i think i need a bit more bite. How many of you are considering the smuggler / commando route now with this publish 24 coming up? I think the specials look neat. We will all have to wait for someone to test it , but what are your thoughts?

Iam really contemplating this, have been for a very long time...way before I heard anything about the commando upgrade. I was interested purely for crowd control. The only bad point is...I have heard your offense/damage is very weak with this temp.

With Commando / Smuggler ? I thought this might be more effective in combat. Or do you mean pistoleer / smuggler ? The other cool thing is with commando you can thenwear assault armor.

I was commando/smugg for a while. The damage output was terrible as were my defences. Now that theyre fixing AOE, I have taken 3 boxes in commando again, hoping the rocketlauncher with Consussion shot will finally KD/Conc more than one target. I really hope they up the damage on commando weapons, I love the rocketlauncher but could do better damage with a looted scout pistol.

Exactly. Pistols are just plain boring. I'm really hoping the commando patch works well. Grenades workingand nice AOE weapons sounds great. Attacking with Commando looks much more interesting than with pistols now. Of course after i use my repec token they will add dual wield pistols to pistoleer lol. You can never win. I've been saving up my respec token, i just hope this is worth it. My time for grinding is limited so i have to make the right choice here.

I've been Master Smuggler/Master Commando for quite awhile now. I tried it on beta as well... and didn't think much about it. Commando weapons still don't do much damage for the way they eat up your action, and the skills are nice, but not really all that useful (atleast as far as I thought).
Though I miss back before the CU where the Commando weapons, like the flamethrower, didn't do AOE damage, but the Commando had skills to make the flamethrower do AOE damage, or damage a single enemy. I don't like howCommando weapons by default do AOE damage now...

Master Smuggler/Master Pistols/44x2 Commando here
This works well because I have a wide variety of Mez shots to work with with my AOE weapons. Tried it out on TC with the new shots and its a pretty good combo, a lot of fun to play.

I like Master Suggler/Masrer Comando. I picked up enough carbs for leg shot and the knock down, asleg shotseemes to do the most damage, and enough pistols for stoping shot. Now that commando AOE is working, I think it will be a fun template.

Well if you are talking damage I just saw a screenshot (post pub 24) of a master commando hitting someone for over 17K damage with a proton rifle and last ditch.

I just started contemplating this template myself. Having been away from the game for a couple of months, I think it's time to return and try something a little different, with a bit more punch and maybe even some PvP potential.
I'm actually in the process of chaning my whole character's personality. I'm actually looking to move away from the benevolent 'Mal Reynolds' Smuggler and into more the 'Jayne Cobb' Smuggler/Mercenary. Not sure if this is more Smuggler with Commando or BH, Carbineer, etc.
Let me know if anyone has other suggestions for a semi PvP-worthy mercenary-Smuggler. I think this would be fun to try out and see if I can get myself back into the swing of things.

As an Ithorian, I love the way my template fits my character:
Master Smuggler, Master Combat Medic, 0004 Pistoleer.
As a rogue Ithorian who did'nt like the rules on Ithor,I took the biological technology used for restoring the forests of planets, and herbalism to create powerfull poisions to use in combat. 
EDIT:
Also, would like to add that this template is VERY EFFECTIVE in PvP if you know what you're doing.
