Hey everyone,
I havent seen any mention of this in the recent posts, but does anyone know if this Master Smuggler/ Master Commando will be a well rounded template? I would think so with the high damage of Commando mixed with the high crowd control of Smuggler, but if anyone has tested this in TC or has any info that would be helpful. Thanks.

.........

Sorry, was just imagining an anime style dude shouting "VICTOWY!" while doing last ditch with a rocket launcher.

Especially if the base hacking skill requirements stay the same, not only would you be helpful in slowing defenders down and damaging them, but you'd be helpful for blowing the base as well. Only thing to consider is that your flamethrower does damage over time, so next tick of the damage, your mez would drop.

But I think that the smuggler speed and accuracy mods are general ranged, not simply pistol, so I don't see any reason why you couldn't last ditch with your flame thrower. If you do, take screenshots though....

I'm thinking about doing this template. With the crowd control skills of the Smuggler, and the power of the Commando weapons, woe betide the BH who comes after me when Smuggling missions are put in, NPC or player! Muahaha!

I think this is a perfect match and I've been debating doing MS/MC and dabbleTK or MS/TKM and dabble Commando.

The thing about Commando in addition to adding powerful offense is that there are Vibro Knuckle Certs to go with the unarmed mods you get from Smuggler.

I'm either going to do this or go MS/MBH with as much Commando as I can get (I think I can get one line).

You sure you got that combo on the TC-EP3 server where the CU is currently being tested (which this thread is about)? ... If you got that combo on the live servers then there's a reason why you don't see many others with it. It's because it'sNOT an ace combo (yes, I've been Master Smuggler/Commando on live as well). It used to be somewhat OK when you could still /lowblow /panicshot someone so he would go on his back for 10 seconds, then whip out the flamer (with no delay as it used to be) and /flamesingle2 the hell out of your victim. But that was a long time ago *sigh* .

Currently on live, nothing beats the armor piercing of Rifleman or Swordsman in PvE (Commando completely sucks against anything with medium armor+ and don't even get me started on the crappy defenses ) . Rifleman and Swordsman happen to be pretty goodin PvP as well so that's why you don't see many Commandos at all, leave alone Commando/Master Smuggler combos (which makes you 2x gimped for anything combat basically as sad as it may be).

I was also contemplating this...question...

Do my pistol skill mods apply to a Commando Pistol?

Yeah, see, I don't think they do...I mean it wouldn't make sense for you to be getting pistol accuracy AND heavy weapons accuracy...

Of course it doesn't matter, you're talking like an extra 30-50 points when you're already got 95-235 pt skill mods anyway.

Careful...

Pistols and Heavy weapons are apples and oranges.

And yes some pistol skills can be used with the LP. I've usedsome but because the flamer was the only real weapon I had I rarely used anything else.

My feelings.... Why use a grenade when you can use a atom bomb? That way close doesn't mean anything anymore.
