Commando Archive

Well I went back to my roots and went commando again. However this time I went with a template I have yet to see anyone else with. I did Master Commando, Master TK, Carbs 0440. I am having so much fun with this template. My main weapon is an elite carb that is damage capped, SAC capped, and close to speed capped. I also carry around a Proton Rifle, PFT, Blackscale Acid Launcher, and SAC capped blaster fists. With this template I can wear regular clothes so I had a nice set of bio-clothes made with +32 ranged defense, +32 melee defense, +32 Terrain neg, +32 unarmed damage, and 4 sockets on all. I have just found that have a trick for every situation. Crowd control the PFT or Blackscale Acid with carb specials handles that, need high damage I got a proton for that, I need to take down a single target really fast I got my uber carb for that, I need to tank well toss on the blaster fists and go toe to toe.

Powerboost is nice for the extra health plus I found that if I disarm CoB and re-equip I keep CoB with a ranged weapon for an extra 500 defense. Only downside is healing but I got high-end stim-d and ruby for that. BTW I am loving the new damage on grenades. Nothing like tossing nades and doing over 1800 damage.

I did find a good use for the new commando specials. With the warm up and cool down times I can regenerate my action back while still attacking. Then it is back to spamming improved leg shot again.

glad to see that some one is enjoying commando + mellee.

IM THINKING ABOUT SWITCHING TEMPS ALSO

I AM CURRENTLY MASTER SWORDS, TKM, AND 4040 MEDIC

WHAT IM THINKING OF SWITCHING TO WOULD BE MASTER COMMANDO,TKM,AND 4004 RIFLES

JUST WONDERING WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THAT TEMP NOW I KNOW THERE IS NO MEDIC OR DOC SKILLS IN THERE BUT I HAVE MONEY TO BUY ALOT OF STIMS

Remember, clothing mods cap at 25. Even though you will see all the bonus listed under ctrl-C anything over 25 from clothing is ignored.

It took a little playing around with. I tried MCommando, TKM, 0044 Swords first. This gave much higher defenses and more melee moves. Only problem is you only have commando specials when not in melee. I spend about 90% of the time ranged so I switched to 0440 carbs. Plus I love my elite carb and the specials from those branches. So my defenses are not as high but if you ever tried the carb specials with commando weapons you would understand how fun it is.

Yeah I know about the +25 but each peice was only +16 so I was forced to +32.

I was TKM, MSwords, 3440 Pike before I went back to commando. I was thinking of going 4040 rifle as well. What it came down to is the KD special. Both improved head shot and improved leg shot are the same damage mod (1.8). They both have a snare. Difference is sniper (most powerful special) or charged. I find that I will use charged shot alot more. Rifle 4400 would be nice too since you get concealment.

WELL I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE 4 TIER IN RIFLEMAN FOR THE SPEED BUT I GUESS AS LONG AS I HAVE A HIGH POWERD RIFLE IT WOULD DO THESAME DAMAGE SO THE DEFENSE WOULD BE BETTER PLUS IT WOULD STACK WITH THE TKA INNATE ARMOR I THINK

Caps Lock is not your friend

has anyone tried swordsmans advanced armour break with commando. you could use swords to apply the armour break then switch to commando to deal damage. just a thought

according to this character builder, advanced armor break only lasts 30 seconds.

how long does it take to change a weapon and get a good special off? i'm just curious, i haven't been able to play in forever.

doesn't the new and improved squad leader have some sort of ranged armor break?
