I'm thinking of playing a trooper, but I'm not sure about what AC.
I really like the assault specialist tree. The tree ist mostly identical between the vanguard and commando. I want a pvp build that can stay at range and mobile, with little casted abilities. Lots of energy damage is good I assume to ignore armor, and the delayed hit of assault plastique allows burst damage if timed right.

Here's my two specs:
Vanguard http://torguild.net/calculator/trooper/v...1203232031
I will mostly use plasma cell of course, for added damage. But if I have a healer around I could switch to ion cell and use guard instead, not loosing to much damage.
Very nice here: High impact bolt ignores 90% armor, has +30% crit damage, and costs just 1 ammo if the dot from incendiary round is up. Unfortunately ionic accelerator to refresh it only works at short range ( ion pulse+stockstrike) with this build.

Commando http://torguild.net/calculator/trooper/c...1203232031
Less damage, especially just 30% armor piercing on high impact bolt, no possibility to switch to tank, but I have some heals.
Ionic accelerator is actually ranged here, with charged bolts and full auto having a chance to refresh high impact bolt. Of course those are channeled.
