No I hadent seen that. Man, grenades and RL while make a huge difference indoors, especially in the caves. Well thats at least one step in the right direction. Actually, I think Im gonna start a thread with what IMO would be good for the commando class, and nothing that would make us overpowered, but reflect the amount of SP we spend.

Garvin thanks for the welcome back. I feel at home here, as lame as that sounds... but after checkin out the other boards.. I had to laugh. Almost every profession complains how broken they are... and granted some are very broken, but after playing many of the other combat classes, none are as nerfed as commando. And to think, rifleman were complaining that they dident have enouh defense.

Yes my brothers and sisters, I have started my journey back to master commando. I know I was away for a while messing around with other silly professions, but I found myself bored and upset. Commando was always my true calling.

You will be able to rely on me for helpful hints, tips, or general knowledge in this great profession of ours once again. Yes I know commando is still broken, but hopefully things change in patch 8, the "combat balance" patch. If they do not change, well, then I am quitting SWG all together.

Amen. Been Master Commando for months, I know it's knackered'n'nerfed. I see Rifleman and Smuggler/pistoleers having fun, fencers finding the week spot in comp armour, other professions soloing AT-ST's and turrets when we can't... and damned if I can make myself give it up!

I'm currently enjoying a phenomenally stupid DPS output as a Rifleman. Over 3000 DPS. But I'm gonna be returning. Couple of improvements, and I won't be able to resist anymore.

Once a commando, always a commando.


I once worked on 5 different chars to get them up commando....


I am now working on 3 only..Bria, Wanderhome and TC......the Wanderhome one have been Mcommando 3 times..working up the 4th time now.....*sigh* It's so easy to "dip" into commando so you can get some SP for other tasks....As my TKA skills on Wanderhome is what I fight with..Commando has become..fireworks and lights heh.


On Bria, I'm still struggling up the commando trees..I'm so tired..But I got to get up to Mcommando...just got to...


On TC..I'm cursing unarmed...



But..Once a commando, always a commando. I can't get away from it...I've been a merchant, artisan, MBH, MTKA, MSL, scout, rifleman, smuggler, pistoleer and carbineer....And..I always return..



Once a commando, always a suicidal commando!

its true, for me at least, that there is something about commando. one would be the great community on the forums. the second thing for me, is the fun i have as a commando. no other profession has made me as happy as commando. i just like blowing **edit** up

sure, it's frustrating now that the DOT is crap and dps is poor. It is disheartening to see so many "miss"'s over creature's heads these days, it hurts to see so many creatures with uber heat resists, but i still feel uber with a lp or ft in my hands.



and there was much rejoicing...

Anybody who knows a prof is gimped and still will go back to play it is a true Commando.


Just remember, it can't rain all the time.


PS, I love to blow **edit** up too.

And... even though the RL, HPB, HLC etc. are poor weapons, the animation when you fire them is undeniably cool....

I actually dreamed about being a Commando last night. I miss my flamethrower. I reckon I'm gonna come back as soon as we can do damage to moving armoured PCs. I could never hit a damn thing with disposables, the accuracy mods are so poor and everyone has 125 Ranged Defence :/

Welcome Back.


I've been going crazy lately more with counterattacks and such. It almost seems that the inaccuracy they've bestowed on our weapons is overkill. With the long delays involved, I had a number of times last night where I scored over 15K points on a piket via several F/T specials that were all counterattacked. The end result was that I got zero points of XP and my buddies killed the creature even though I never "missed".


That seems to be a bigger drain on my scoring than pure misses at this point... although the two issues combined really hurt. It seems that all those last chance resists the MOBs employ are tweaked for professions with higher firing rates. For them, it serves to reduce the number of hits scored per creature. In our case, it can often mean we don't score a hit on the MOB at all if we are not going solo. Thisis especially true for more junior commandos without speed or accuracy mods... lots of zero XP attacks when grouped.


I guess it is just something I will have to live with as a commando.
