You want to be a Commando, eh?

Commando Basic:

Alright, let me start off with the basics. First, and foremost, we can be ranged tankers or ranged damage dealers. But one of the most crucial things I have found in the Commando is BLOCK VALUE. Commandos are inteneded for blocking, rather than dodging and all that. BLOCK CHANCE increases the chance you'll be able to block something, whereas BLOCK VALUE increases the amount you block.

Now since we don't exactly have a great amount of constitution like Jedi in some instances, it'd be wise to stack some Constitution. Also, depending whether you're trying to tank or do alot of damage, you either ewant extr precision or strength.

PvE and PvP?:

Alot of us have a really good setup in expertise, power ups, and attachments for PvP. However, this doesn't always mean that you can knock down a Tusken Warlord and live. I would greatly recommend setting up a tanking Commando for PvE. Usually this means doing enough damage to move your opponent's health, while keeping an adequate amount yourself.

Damage Dealing:

Alright, let's get to the fun parts. For damage dealing in PvP, I would recommend you stack Critical Chance. Along with that, Heavy Weapon Damage Increase, and Heavy Weapon Action Cost (note have these on exotics).

For your basic attachments, I would recommend stacking Precision, Consitution, and Block Chance.

Tanking:

Ok, so alot of you want to learn a few pointer on how to tank a Krayt. Well fact of the matter is, I'm still sort of working on that. Good news is: there's a way to tank gold elites. Stack Block Value, Strength, and Constitution for your Basic Attachments. For the Exotics, stack Block Value, Block Chance, and Glancing Blow Increase.

Wait...Glancing Blow? What the heck is that?

Yeah, I've heard a few people say that Jedi are supposed to stack Glancing Blow for PvE. Well, sorry Mr. Sidious, but we all can.

This thing really helps when stacked with BV and BC. Glancing Blow dramatically decreases damage dealt to you in combat whenever you see the flytext. Think of Glancing Blows as disposable one use Stand Fasts that you have in an unlimited supply and only occurs every so often/very often. (Depending on how much you stacked)

Back up, what about Power Ups?:

I was getting to that, be patient :P

Ok, for Damag Dealers, grab Critcal Hit Increase.

For Tankers grab Glancing Blow Increase.

Notes: This is my first guide, and I am still working on TestCenter to find critical flaws. Because my Character's names are so confusing even for me, I'll have to check the names next time I go onto SWG. Heh. Just as a little tip, you can find me usually around the Mos Espa Character Builder Terminal building. My characters are for the most part the only ones with Roman Numerals and utility belts :D

Thanks for reading this guide. Special thanks go to Jellly on TestCenter and Sithlicher who is also a fellow tester.

I'll update this as much as I can.
