Thread: Commando Vs Rifleman?
Well...this is coming from a Master Commando / TKM...
If you want a good all around PvP/PvE template go TKM / Rifleman
If you want a good all around PvE template go Commando / TKM
Rifleman will give you the ranged attacks that TKA lacks so you can deal with those who will kit you...and the defenses granted via Rifleman don't hurt to much either...
Commando would give you high damage attacks, but those attacks are restricted to Melee range...NPC's rarely kite you, but other Players will...this is why Commando is better for a PvE template then a PvP one...
As a TKM I love using a KD/Dizzy then /FlameSingle2 combo...or I like to flame them as they run towards me followed my an nice unarmed attack...but what I lack is a good ranged weapon...all of our Heavy Ranged weapons (the Rocket Launcher, the Heavy Particle Cannon, etc) are consumable and have very slow speed/bad accuracy...they are good for starting a fight, but not good to use during one...
Anyway, hope that helps....

Does this look like the commando or rifleman boards to you?
I think not
Please take this crap somewhere else
1) Relax...take a breath...it will all be ok...serenity now...
2) He was asking which goes better with TKA...Commando or Rifleman...a TKA related question that seems to fit in a TKA related forum...no need to flame anyone...
Yes I hate the FOTM crowd
Every TRUE tka profession should
I mean I actually enjoy bein a TKA I am not one cause of its so called power
I am sick of people like this poster

I am in no way trying to create a flame war or flaming anyone...I'm curious by your post...Are you telling me that the only skills you have is Unarmed4 of Brawler and TKA...that you don't dabble anywhere else?
If you dabble elsewhere, let me ask you this, what made you decide where you spent your remaining skill points? Did you decide to invest it in various professions you thought would help your character?
The impression I gathered from the original poster is that they wanted to be a TKM and they are now trying to decide where they should best spend their other skill points to complete their template...where is the harm in that...
I first became a Master Commando...I then became a Master TKA...I did this when both professions weren't FOTM...The reason I added TKA is 1) I love this profession and 2) the defenses compliment the lack of for Commando...
The original poster is becoming a TKA and wants to know what other professions will "compliment" his template for PvP and PvE...a very reasonable question...
Look at his original post:
When I originally planned out my character I had thought of master scout (accomplished) master TK, (almost there, 4434) and master rifleman (1120).
Where does that say FOTM? He only has 22 posts under his belt...he ends with:
What are your thoughts on how to get a well-rounded template with my current skills?
Should he just leave those remaining skill points un-used or is it wise to spend them on other professions that will improve his character?
In my opinion, you owe this person an apology for your accusation and unwarrented attack...What a way to welcome someone into your fold...after all, we are all dabblers, but this one isn't dabbling TKA...he's dabbling elsewhere...

I love being a TKA/Rifleman. The range is awsome, and if anything does get to close you always got melee.

one thing about rifle that is overlooked is the disadvantage of using a rifle in melee combat you will be hit EVERY time. the only benefit of rifles in PVE without a pet or a tank is in battling ranged NPC attackers. in PVE fighting things like a krayt your going to die unless you have someone else or something else tanking for you. most critters do melee. course you can always use conceal shot but that is very dull.
