What is a Better profession Commando or Pistoleer?

And why?
 
Archived from groups: alt.games.starwarsgalaxies (More info?)

Pistoleer has about 3/10 working specials and is very inaffective in PVP.
I've never been a Commando, but I AM sticking with pistoleer, but only
because I don't want to grind out the million-plus Pistol XP again after
they fix it for Combat Rebalance.

Hard to say, that would really depend on you. Pistoleer leaves you with 158
skill points because it's only requirements are 2 columns of the marksman
tree. Commando leaves you with 81 skill points and requires master marksman
and a column of the brawler tree ... which do you think SHOULD be better?

Obviously, with nothing else, commando is and should be a better combat
profession. However, with the remaing skill pts on pistoleer, you can
master tk or rifleman or carbineer etc making pistoleer a good combination
profession.

There are pro's and con's to each profession but without looking at the
skill points and how they are used you aren't really getting fair
comparisons.

one that u get pistol xp for

OK, I am going to Master Smuggler so that Requires me to do the unarmed tree
in Brawler same as Commando.
I am going to Master Marksman which is the other requirement that Commando
has..

It will not matter what I choose at that point, I will have the same skill
points available. I am just looking to see what is better Pistoleer or
Commando.

My brother is a rifleman and he does so much better than I.

Sorry, quite right but i think that just re-inforces my point, less skill
pts = weaker profession.

Thanks for your tips, I found it useful. What can you tell be about
geoblaster (sonic pistols) , because everyone is recommending me that
pistol, but the prices... its bloody expensive.

Is there any website where I can find a summary of all special shoots and
its damage & stuff ? I know about allkhazar and similar but cant find it
there 🙁

Why almost everyone is grinding? 😉

I never used one (due to the cost) but they do stun damage, thus they bypass
Non-stun protected armor in PvP and affect those creatures/NPCs that are
vulnerable to Stun Damage. They also are generally rated fairly high in
damage, but I honestly didn't pay enough attention to the stats on the few I
saw on vendors to say how the actually stack up against other pistols.

I honestly used SOE's forums. If you go to the Official Site and click
forums, there's a "Profession" link mid-way down the page. It links to a
page with a forum for each profession & a few other things. There are
usually excellent FAQs there stickied at/near the top. You no longer have
to log into the forums to read them, just if you want to post. You can also
ask a lot of questions of that community. If this link come though
intact...it links to a thread on the status of Pistoleer Specials, which
work, which are broken etc:
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=pistoleer&message.id=39826

which may help, or at least get you into the right general area. This ones
takes you to the Pistoleer Board in general:

Thanks
