You are a brave man saying the word DPS in a weaponsmith forum ..... If you think plasma flamers deal out a good flame, watch out for Weaponsmiths if you say the word DPS lol.
whats the correct term then, max damage? just looking for some answers, guess im not crafty enough for a realreply. anyone here ever make commando weapons?
really don't know 
but i'm guessing the plasma
and there isn't anything wrong with dps it's just a broken formula. if people want high dps they can have it if they want high dmg they can have it. it really doesn't mather to me.
Just an FYI for fellow Weaponsmiths
Commando weapons are the only weapons where DPS really is normally the most important determinant. Why? Because commando's don't have special attacks! Thus, SAC means nothing on commando weapon's unless the person plans on using a different classes specials with the weapon.
I had a commando approach me to make a Plasma Flame thrower for him and when I started with the SAC/Damage explanation we all know and love, he brought up this point .. he didn't have any specials, so Ihad to break our rules and concentrate on DPS

In answer to the initial poster's question, Yes. Plasma Flamethrower is your best bet. Get some Krayt tissues and make sure to tell your weaponsmith if you don't have any specials so he/she doesn't waste points on SAC.

myself, im going to master commando to compliment another class and will be using specials. the random fire dot with the beam cannon looks yummy and would like to know how high (without krayt or bh loot, just resources) the max dmg can get to. thank you for your input.
