Thread: MBH / Commando....
Great mods
Varied attacks
The cons:
EVERYONE is a BH
Assault armor cert only when paired up with Commando- and the inherent lack of energy resist mods in said armor. I REFUSE to drop Commando, so I guess I'll have to make do with less energy protection than recon can offer.
Bad idea going with commando/BH. The flame-thrower is garbage now. A slow piece of garbage and commando does not have anyattacks to add to your already extensive list of choices.

commando/bh is as rare as CH/bh...for a reason. correct me if im wrong, but doesnt commando have to be within 25 M for flamer to work? thats not exactly a fun range to kite from...and the lack of commando specials is an issue too.
I am MBH MCH Pistolsxxx4 andI am successful, you just need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the template.

go for it, bh has some good attacks, and you can just leave up the commando title so no one knows you have bh
Do not do it for the title. I can throw up 100 different titles to make me not look like a BH. Just walk around and carry a sword if your identity being revealed is the issue.

25 meter range, yeah.
I know Commando isnt any good. But I've been one since July or August of 03, and am never dropping it, no matter how bad we get 
(even thou right now is pretty much the lowest for Commandos). I just have to work at making Commando the best I can thru outside sources (i.e. - other professions because we have no specials - according to the devs our specials are built in to our weapons /shrug /rolleyes /thumbsup!!)
I dont care about dying. Hell, when I am overt, I run around without armor anyway. Leather Jacket, ubese modded shirt, comfortable slacks, and dress shoes for the win!!!!

acid stream blinds
flamer burns
rockets kd
the thing is, those specials have no damage modifiers. this can be good and bad - for instance the bh specials to stun, dizzy and blind all have lik .3 dmg modifiers. that's right, 1/3 the normal damage.
commando does look like it needs another combat prof tho, for some higher damage specials. bh might fit that ticket nicely, with the general range mods it offers, and decent damage shot in adv critical.

acid stream blinds - a state which has no effect right now, unless its been stealth fixed
flamer burns - that lands its DoT 25 percent of the time, IF the flamer hits to begin with
rockets kd - an innaccurate weapon, impossibly low damage

Highlighted in the biggest problem...
A BH (or Carbineer, for example) can do all those, with damage modifiers with an 1100+ damage weapon across the board, and NOT have to switch weapons...Whereas a commando has to switch weapons, and the attacks arent really a true AoE. They are radius attacks from the main target. And the radius/AoE is beyond screwed right now....
