Commando Archive

woops, hit enter while I was typing the subject..

Anyone ever hear other pistoleers asking for blast weapons? Think that for them to say that is pretty stupid. Anyone think they should get the launcher, or something like it?

Yea I completely agree, it is stupid that some are asking for blast. If pistoleers got a blast weapon then they would compeltely nulify commandos purpose, Seeing as how they're dps are already higher with non-blast weapons.

tho we got swordsman with blast...and AP

a master swordsman can easily outdamage us in blast and armour piercing, plus gets the illustrius...counters...and toughness/better defenses overall

one bad thing they got: high ham costs..but every meleer is like that..thankfully we dont...tho we get put to shame regardless (just buy the new foods...and you'll be a terror...us? what good food will be if it doesnt increase our defenses/damage output enough to competite...

Commando is ranged blast , swordman is melee blast . thats the way it shoud stay

If they take away our one edge in the game that's kept us alive from 100% flame proof targets then I think that'll be my time to say good-bye. This is non-sense. My TK skills of 0021(really close to 0031) surpass my commando skills of 1020 (also close to 1030, aint that a kick?). All the things and time it take me to grind commando. compared to the time it took me to get where I am now in TK. Tk (even at novice) has a good deal of power enough to get me where I am now in a matter of a few days (I only play about a couple hours on weekdays, gotta go to class).I'm not saying NERF TK, I love TK, so my message is far from it. But instead NERFing strong profession, fix the weaker prof. because most weak prof. are like that because they are broken. I just hope I'll never be forced to jump ship from commando, but the future dosent look to bright for that

Yes all one needs is Novice Commando for the cert for the LP. If a pistoleer wants a blast capable pistol, let them spend the necessary skill points to achieve it.

/agree In no way should any prof than Commando get Blast damage. Powerhammer should be... something thats not blast. As Master Heavy Swordsman is now as Effective at killing turrets as a template made for just that using the LP.

Back when I was trying to find out information on the rumor that the Beserker Rifle was going to do Blast Damage (been confirmed that it will do Heat actually) I spoke with a Programmer who confirmed that they had no plans to give another ranged profession Blast damage. He told me that he did see that as a Commando Nicheand if they did ever consider giving another ranged profession a blast weapon, it would have to be sub-par to the Commando Blast weapons (basically that our profession would be heavily weighed in the decission and design before anything was added in game).

So they may get one some day, but I wouldn't expect to see anything soon...Their best chance is when the Combat Balance eventually does come to pass (and then we'd have to have a new niche in the Programmers eyes for them to get it)...

So yes, the closest they will get to a Pistol with Blast Damage is Commando Novice for the time being..

Unfortunately a MP that invests novice commando is a sure terror with it.. and still has 56 skill pts over

Also with Swordsman...I forgot to add something...do you realize that Turrets have a range? They cant attack a target who's right on top of it? Perfect for swordsman..do far more damage than commandos can do...and dont get attacked when doing it...
