I have been trying to stay positive through out all the stuff that is going on. But alas its time to either pack up or Become the Flavor of the month Rifflmen Fencer Tka. Our City has droped 8 bases and I was watching one man with a buff like of 2k and comp armor take out the troops with his dissruptor or what ever. He was fan shotting or what ever and doing 2-4k damage to 10 guys at once. He had to have farmed like 4k FP in like 20 mins. He killed all the men from all 8 bases. I got a small buff and went after him. I could not him him once with my commando wepons. FT=Miss RL=Miss Acid=MIss LP= miss hit once out of 50 shots for 45. I guess the realization is if we are going to spend all these points we might as well stack the professions that utilize them complletly. COmmando is not worth the points at all. He killed me the 10 times I went after him with me doing no more then ide say 100 damage eve setting him on fire once. I even got a group of 3 and we all died 3 times to him. It was oly till we got a Good CM to coome help that he was finaly beaten but the FP he got and the Loss of Pride I had for the commando is gone. I will probably drop back down to FLame IV and stack every thing up untill I need the points for some thing else. Unless they totaly uber fy (not super) enough so we can either hold out own one on one or be able to be needed other then a meat shield.
I started out posting positive and helping with all the new questions people have. But lately I know my posts have been down and I only realy want to appolgize to Garvin. Im sorry man I tried to be helpfull and up beat but its so dam hard hehe. Especialy when you come home from work and just want to blow stuff up. How do I say it. O ya. I dont get my bang for my buck you k now. For all you master commandos I applaud you. you have more patiance and love then I. And Garvin I have high Hopes that you wil bring great things to the commandos. I just hope by the time every thign happens there is still a few left in the galaxy.
Peace!

I say pickup Rifleman or Fencer or TKM, drop commando if u dont like it.
Oh btw the way, could everyone in this game take a look at the forums of the other professions, it will make u all realise how pointless and stupid the complaints are, ud think Fencers would have nothing to complain about, same with TKM, right?,..right?!,.. lol check it out for urself, not one profession isnt sayin: 'Our prof nerfed again'
So in theory, all the profs are nerfed except the big 3, so thats balanced enough for me.

Well whatever, If you wanna be a pvp god go cm, rifleman(or fencer/rifleman). If you wanna be a pve god go commando/tka.

I am going to try out a new commando build that should be fairly useful in PvE. Master commando with 0/1/3/4 in squad leader. I can use the steady aim command to increase my aim when I am with other people and that extra defense is always nice for me and my group

I dont know about TK being the flavor of the month, I dont know a time when it wasnt big and I say this as a TK. I sure do say that rifleman and fencer could be considerd flavors, but I'm hoping that they stay that way and the combat balance makes all professions useful. I'm gonna wait till combat balance in publish 8, if nothing is fixed, goodbye

So why shold I keep Master Commando? I do not really gain much by keeping all of that. BTW, Want to be a PvE god then go pikeman. They are the kings of PvE IMO. I love commando and all, but I am afraid I am going to drop it to pursue something else, like pikeman maybe. Then again, I am tired of commando anyway and am going to try something new. I just can not decide if I want to keep Flame4 or drop commando all together... Flame4 will be much harder to give up than Master...

Heheh ya I hear ya. The only thing is if I drop it again I probably wont come back to it. As for PVE gods, we are only on small things. Things we can one hit kill thats it. The other big stuff Tks are better for. I just wish the dam Devs and TH would get off there Butts and say well here we are giving them this next pub at least and tell us. Why has every one else gotten new things and upgrades. The professions that I have seen say that commando needs work get things before our old things are fixed? I think every profession should get nerfs and work as well as ours. Then at least we would be on the same level when we fight.!

well i still wont drop commando - i am too darn stuborn. but i am sick of no defence, so i started my way to fencer too. ill have to drop all my medic and my scout/CH but it was fun to start killing giant gubbers again yesterday lol.
at one point i got sick of the wait, and on a group of gurcats fighting gubbers, i sprayed a flame cone II. it was a lovley animation of "all fall down"

the thing i have learned it is it almost a waist of time to take up a second profession if you are a commando. SInce we fall into that 2.5 rule becuase our FT is considered a riffle. I did not under stand the mods cuz im stupid. So i tested, your commando ranged mitigation works with a wepon out and or not out. But the melle mitigation you get with tka is realy like having nothing once you have a wep in your hand becuase you get that 2.5 damage agianst you. So its not tka that compliments commando its commmando that compliments Tka

I thought the 2.5 dmg modifier was replaced with an ability to be hit more often with a ranged weapon in your hand?

Yea you dont get x more dmg but mitigation means the max dmg that person can do is reduced by 30% or something like that. Its kinda like you get less good roles on your attack. And melee vs ranged, Melee get more accuracy fighting there ranged apponant. Anyway if you understand that, cause i didnt,,lol.
