Thread: Why is my view on Commando SO different than the majority of the folks here?

Template is as Follows
3-4-4-4 Commando
1-0-0-1 Fencer

That template gives you 30 skill pts remaining...where have you invested the rest? In another post (on the Fencer forum) you stated that you are a Master Fencer...or are you working your way to Master Fencer? Just curious...
As for your enjoyment and abilities...glad to hear you enjoy what you can do...but it sounds kind of like a Real Life soldier saying "I'm an unstoppable soldier, nobody can out power me or stop me" and leaving out the fact that they drive a tank...it's the tank that does the damage, not the soldier...it's your buffs, skill mods enhancements, and souped up weapons that makes you feel so powerful...it's on the Profession of Commando that does it...
And that's not saying that we should be as powerful as you are when you buff up...but we could operate a lot better with higher melee defenses and more strategically useful weapons....
First off you are incredibly argumentative
Secondly there is no tank, so you anlogy holds about as much water as a barrel full of holes. I have worked to aquire the tools avalible in the game. They are avalible to anyone else who wants the, but be forwarned you may have to work for them, SOE will not just put this stuff in your inventory for you...
And yes I pvp quite but by the looks of your post PhantomSnipayou didnt bother to accually read mine before you shot your mouth off.
Not as far as more strategically useful weapons... what more do you want? You have a flamethrower that can do incredible amounts of damage, a Acid Rifle by the same nature, a pistol that shoots flaming crap at people and you can your your marksman pistol specials with it.
I guess I am missing something that you must have a supreme knowledge of, I was unaware that we need even more power than we already do, all professions in the game have their ups and downs if you dont like it get another one to compliment what you do have.
Sure I would like to be even more powerful than I already am but I am pretty damn happy with what I got.
Back to the origonal question what is everyone complaining about?
Not good enough weapons? DOTs dont stack? No launcher pistol specials? We miss too often? We are too slow?
what exactly?
/peace
How is me asking you questions about your template "Arguemenative"? They are valid questions that goes to the basis of your post...you say you are satisfied and happy with the way the Commando profession is, and I ask you about your template as it may have a connection to your satisfaction...yet you rebutt with a rude response...
And my comparison is EXTREMELY valid...Did you not site that you use various buffs/Mods? do these buffs/mods allow you to solo various areas you would not be able to without them? Do they increase your satisfaction with the Commando forum? If you answer yes to any of these questions that consider those BUFFS not something automatically granted by being a Commando...therefore, they are an outside factor...like a Soldier who drives a tank...would that Soldier be as powerful if he was without his tank...i.e. would you do as well in those various places you mentioned without your Buffs/mods/enhanced weapons?
I would go on, but I have a strong feeling no matter what I say you'll rebutt with a rude and uncalled for comment...To you, it doesn't matter if other's disagree with you, you will continue to disrespect them...and therefore deserve no more of a response...
I think your view is a little different because you havn't been a commando that long. The problem most of us have is that there's only one thing we can do. Burn stuff. You havn't been doing it long, so you aren't desperately wishing for a different weapon that works. No one has been saying that part of the class is underpowered. The problem is that, aside from killing ourselves with grenades, there are no other options. No variety. Nothing else works. All the new content has been put in the game with high fire resist. From the special crackdown troops to the stuff in the Geo lab.
What good is a commando against something with 100% fire resist?
Most of us don't want to do more damage per second. We just want to do different types of damage.
btw, none of the hw SEA's work right. They apply against skills that aren't included in calculations.
and isn't the special resistance on armor capped at 80%? How old is your armor?
Btw..the extra mods..the hvy weapons dont work..so you shouldnt even bother with them especially with decay now
Edit: and if I read the replying posts in the middle..i wouldve seen that garvin already covered what i said..heh..ahh well
Anyways...your rudeness to him is uncalled for....you say you arent a tank...thats...a pathetic denial...after the external defenses you've shown us
