I cannot take it anymore. I have been grinding commando/tk for over two months now with the intent on being usefull in raids.

I have sucked it up and not whined when they cut the cut the flame dot.
I have not whined when the 'fix' to the heavy acid rifle and I nearly killed myself trying to use it against rancors.
I cheerfully bought consumable weapons at 40,000 credits for 30 shots to be able to use commando in PvP.
I have been trying to build relationships with imperial pvpers to get into a crew.

I did this all for one reason. The combat rebalance. Well I can't take it anymore - I have been paying my subscription every month hoping that my chosen profession - commando (I am a commando, not a tk) - would get fixed and become viable in what I chose to do - group battles.

So starting this weekend, I am going to rebuild my template. Here comes another f'ing rifleman for pvp. What the hell, it's not going to be until about patch 11 until they address this. I hate being a clone of everyone else in battle - but I hate being useless even more.

I am really pissed at SOE, they killed my profession. Watch out combat medics - you are sitting right where commando was about 3 months ago. Go buy some KY jelly, you are going to need it!


To those of you who are staying faithful to the flamethrower - best of luck! I hope they fix the class someday.


I salute you, the patient commandos!

I agree with every thing you said my man. One point you made that I believe hits home, is about the amount of combat skill points we have invested in commando, which is more than any other profession. Yet we are the weakest in pvp and not really that strong in pve. Yet the devs do nothing about it. It makes you think they want you to leave the profession so they can erase it all together. Evan the flame thrower is useless in pvp and that is the only fricking thing that works. What is wrong with SOE do they not want to fix anything, they are more concerned about nerfing weapons and armor than fixing professions. Im going to stay commando in the hopes they eventually fix it and move us up the hiearchy of combat prof's like we deserve, instead of being the useless class we are now.

As I played last night, I just could not bring myself to be a rifleman or a combat medic for that matter. I'm not sure what I'll do, but I'm going to keep my tk defenses and hold on to the flame thrower tree until I figure out which brawler class I want.

Yep I did it too, dropped Master to go TKM/Rifleman. And I'm loving Rifleman already 3103 and pwned a master pistoleer/rogue in full comp that tore me up as a commando, stun dmg is god. As soon as Commando is fixed I'll come back until then its FOTM.

i agree..playing as a Pure Commando (without really mastering another prof..and using mainly skills of commando...no TKA, etc) is REALLY HARD


and I too got sick of it..so now im lvling just the defenses of TKA...and good timing too..i dont need my scout anymore whatsoever..so i have enough to lvl up TKA and the last pistol tech skill


And an added plus...staying my beloved MC..but now i got a melee aspect, with mitigation, some special defenses, COUNTERS (which is #1 reason why i started to lvl TKA and go away from being a pure commando), and a lil added defense...coupled with the seemingly huge special defenses of pistoleer...im actually pretty well rounded in defenses (or will be)...and hell..if they nerf these profs i dont care...since as a ranged prof i will never have the melee mit, and as a commando never the special defenses...and if they EVER add counters to us..yay for me


So, i havent fully succomb to the generic template (I STILL carry Music IV!!! WOOOOO!!!)...but i do have a unique template, that involves only a lil dabbling to cover up my flanks (which..are huge!)...and frankly..this is how mastering/dabbling SHOULD be....after mastering commando..ive never mastered another prof (only MM and MC atm) and will never until SE with pilot (which will supplement my skills)


Point being..as a hybrid of MELEE and RANGED, we shouldnt have to be forced to take up TKA to get MELEE defenses anyways...and if we ever do..yay for me...basically now..i can hunker down..wait for SOE..and wont loose (that much..)


Still...its sad how long SOE is taking...and not everyone (at least the avg human..i aint human) has the patience....they're really driving most of us away


Anyways...i feel sad that it has even come to this of ppl having to do what your doing..conform...just to have fun in PvP (Also exploiting as well..i had a friend yesterday that said we should just leave the exploiters alone and let em have their fun..)


Good luck to you..

Well, i've been able to find peace of mind within the commando profession by accepting the fact that we are better in a support role than a primary role. I'll always remember a quote from a heavyswordsman guildmate, "There's nothing I love more than when the person infront of me bursts into flames..."


And osax, in response to your statement, "...we are... not really that strong in pve..." Are you kidding me? Commandos are PvE Gods!

Osax, MBH has only 33 points left over compared to Master commando's 81. So not the most skill spent. Just a point in case there are some worse off than us.



Good hunting!

No we're not, try taking on something with armor and using non-consumables.

True, but we still have more combat skills required to master the proffession. The problem with BH right now is that they don't benefit from scouting skills nearly enough once they reach the actuall proffession. I mean, you'd think that mastering scout would imply that they'd have all sorts of goodies, like traps, and gadgets to hunt players and NPC's to complement their combat strength, but they don't for some reason.

Well, you are doing what many of us couldn't do, leave Commando. I could not bring myself to leave the profession I bought SWG for. So I just made another toon.
