Since the CU, the Commando has been completely, and utterly ignored.
To wit...
1) AoE broken - does 0 or 1 point of damage after the initial splash of 100 or so damage (if this occurs at all). The AoE built into nearly all the Commando weapons make them an aggro magnet, making them useless in high level dungeon areas.
2) Proton Rifle, a highly anticipated loot reward, doesnt work.
3) Consistently outdamaged by every single profession except Jedi (after the next patch this will no longer be true with the Jedi's receiving some love in the form of reduced action and force costs)
4) Commando weapons (except the Proton Rifle - see number 2) have the shortest range of any ranged weapon, yet when equiped, the the Commando moves slower than ANY ranged profession (with the possibility of Rifleman). This makes the Commando an easy target to kite by other ranged profs
5) The Commando isa ranged profession, where most ranged weapons are energy damage based. However, the armor certification (assault) receives kinetic boosters, with negative effects towards energy. This would imply that Commando is more geared towards melee combat, yet is a ranged profession
6) Rocket Launcher is a clone of the flame thrower
7) Plasma Thrower is a clone of the flamer thrower with slightly more damage
8) Grenades are STILL only good for FS grinding. They are too slow, do too little damage, and the state resists are bugged (1 second for a root?)
9) Commando weapons do NOT supercharge other professions' specials
10) As a class unto itself, a Commando cannot compete on its on in comparison other classes. The only specials a Commando has are from the Ranged Support tree with do NOT have the necessary damage modifiers to be useful, as the are low level skill boxes
These are by no means the only issues with the Commando profession, but IMHO, they are among the most glaring.
I am begging for some sort of acknowledgement to these issues.
Thank you.

I can't disagree with the original poster, but I can add that one thing that Commando DOES do right is powerup Smuggler and other state-applying specials.

QFE... It shifts Smuggler, Carbineer, and Pistoleer into a crowd controlling menace... with no bang for the buck.
I am actually curious to see what is gonna happen when Concussion Shot gets fixed and actually becomes a mez... I can here the nerf calls already when a mass of PvP'rs all get mez'd at once.
Now if there was only some damage to be delt.

Yea, with an Acid Stream Launcher I will be able to mez a wide cone of enemies out to 65 meters.Having a smuggler/commandois going to be one of the prominent necessities in PvP.
Then again... all of the players stuck under the mez will be able to get retribution once they are damaged or the mez breaks, so it is kinda balanced in those regards.
A Smuggler/Commando WILL be the ultimate in crowd control.

Oh come now. We weren't ignored in this patch. I'm guessing most of you never saw the bottom of the list. We're getting a new item!
Commando
Upon loading in, Commandos will find a unique new item in their inventory named lube. This item may only be used on
days of patches however only to prevent anymore unwanted pain.

Maybe if we drag and drop that lube onto the trigger of the proton rifle.... it will fire.
