Hello.
Currently running a cadence physical damage based 1h+shield commando.
Now I don’t know what to choose from these two pair of skills:
Flame Touched + Temper // Field Command + Squad Tactics
Which of these two are better? I am NOT aiming at retaliation at any rate. Aiming mostly at defense/tankiness.
Your opinions are welcome.
Field Command + Flame Touched.
Why not both? This Commando thread manages to get points into all 4 skills.
Pretty much this.
Could you elaborate a bit? Flame touched seems more focused on fire damage and Squad tactics has got some sort of speed boost that seems tasty.
I guess Flame touched is for OA, right?
you got it, the OA.
ideally, you would want to max flame touched, field command, and temper. maybe put a point in the 4th and ride + to skills if you are struggling for points. but maxing the 3 of those would get you the most bang for your buck. I would even drop points from the second node of cadence to do so.
Thank you very much. I only intend to use few points into fighting form/deadly momentum and reallocate them elsewhere.
Deadly Momentum is awesome. You want that super-maxed.
Of the skills you asked about, Temper is best because it gives you another source of flat physical damage. Then Field Command if you need the DA, which you probaby do. Flame Touched is nice for the OA, but since none of the other stats help you it’s not a priority - unlike a fire/lightning build where it’s godly. The attack speed from Squad Tactics is nice but doesn’t scale very well past a certain point.
