Commando Archive

I'm starting to really enjoy grenades =) They make a very big boom, and you can actually hit and kill several pesky critters in one shot. Of course even at master the acc is terrible, but I've sorta gotten used to that. Cryobans make an awesome blue explosion and makes people think they had a 'force encounter' LOL. And C22s have just good old fashioned killing power =) I find myself rarely using the flamer now believe it or not (tired of the 2.5x melee damage) and loving nades more and more. Anyone else falling in love with the smell of explosives?

No weaponsmith on my server will produce them, due to the high amount they have to sell them for to turn a profit, and the long factory times. So no. I really would love to use grenades, but unfortunately the way they work right now it isn't possible.

That sucks....I've been finding C22s with a damage around 1500-2500 in crates of 25 for 30k....well worth the price, especially if you need combat exp lol

Ugh. Proton grenades cost 3k a piece and all grenades must still be bugged on Eclipse as no Commando weapon does splash damage (excluding specials such as FlameCone) from my testing.

Well I am on Chilastra and I have always been able to contract weaponsmiths to make them for me. For C22's I am generally paying 1k per in crates. Damage is usually around 800-1800 from what I currently have (5 crates).

As for using them, I generally only use them for combat exp when I really need it. Just in case you didn't know.... on non-aggro/pack mobs, you can toss 1 /peace, toss another (/peace wont work), and get a 3rd in (sometimes) before the mob reaches you, warcry, /flamesingle2, watch mob die (I would Fiegn Death to get full combat exp for the kill). Best so far for me was ~20,000 combat exp off one piket longhorn lair, just killing the mobs. Generally I could only scratch up about 10-12k per lair.

I have yet to find anyone that regularly stock 'nades. But I do like the big BOOM!

I don't think 2500 is remotely possible in the listed stats on C22's. Is this the damage you're actualy doing when you throw them? Is that what you mean?

If any of you have toons on Radiant, check my vendor out. You will love it if you love Nades.

Put a message on your server board that you want to contract a weaponsmith to make crates of nades for you. Most likely you will get 2-5 decent offers. Most of the artisan types are willing to do it for you a couple times. Unfortunately after that they learn it's not worth thier factory time. Just my experience though.

I used to like grenades, and i would even stick up for them on the boards until i was dueling people (without using the the FT specials) and found that grenades suck. The delay is way too long for the amount of damage they do. The best weapon we have for ranges over 16m is the HPBC, you can own just about anyone at range with them. Also RL's suck for pvp, the HAM costs are way too high.

Padawan he might be saying the damage with a powerup included, i have seen ones with up to 35% max and min damage increases, not sure what the max possible damage without a powerup is for a C22 so i dunno, but most people don't even realize there are grenade powerups available

Cymene i would never use a nade for PvP. They are good for one thing only in their current state, combat exp. As far as our other consumables, I wouldn't even use them on someone unless the person were unbuffed or spice buffed. The people who PvP have been complaining for good reason that the class is broken in PvP. What they say is true, Commando's are gimped in PvP. Sad when you are gods in PvE, and gimps in PvP, but true.

i dont think i've ever actually landed a nade on target.. or my disposible acid rifle. well once and hit for 13 damage.. but ive never landed a nade.. always miss..20 nade misses makes me not buy them
