Commando Archive

Yes, you can master commondo and TKM and have 18 points left to do whatever

It's one of the game's "intended" combinations

KD2 + flame single2 = gold.

Not to mention healing your own wounds, self buff, Force of will, center of being, and being able to target the mind pool easily enough.

VKs get light armor piercing.

Ive been Master Commando for a long while now but yesterday got Teras Kasi Master, the spare points I have saved for Pharmocology 1 meaning I can use Stim B's for heal.

Ive not tried much pVp with it yet but my first test will be the knockdown and flamesingle2...sound groovy.

Although that dirty fighting trick sounds darn good...hmmm, decisions decisions.

Frenzi you can use B stims at Novice Medic, I would put those points into the injury treatment speed tree.

Commando/TKM is nice, but why use any commando skills at all in pvp with this combo?Sure, you can kd/dizzy then flame2, but you'd be wasting your time. After you kd/dizzy the target, use head hit 1 from TK, and you'll drop them much, much, much faster than you would with a flamethrower. If you're a commando/tkm, the flamethrower should never leave your backpack in pvp, use you're armor piercing vk's and go to town. The flamethrower is one of the worst possible weapons to use in pvp (unless the target is unarmored). You might as well be using a water pistol.

Master Pikeman + Master Commando (me) owns so hard. I highly recommend it. My doc/master swordsman and I killed 5+ tkm's at once. Area dizzy + area kd + area attacks.... amazing.

I used to be a commando/tkm

heres ur conns for the combo

both need to be at close range to b effective- so if u get kd which is very likly u will easily die

rifleman can kill u easily - 4-6 headshots no prob

pro

u can easily get 1 hit incaps IF u hit

and with the new defense capping attacking with a flamer shud b much easier

oh yes when i pvp i never use this kd + flame crapy combo

reason is it takes to long just to swtich ur weapon and ur mostly always fighting largr groups

so u can easily get pawned with the crap accuracya at range for commando's

Frenzi Stim B's are med use 5, a novice medic can use them, you dont need pharmacology 1.

Ever fight anyone with high kinetic resist armor (that being 99% of all armor worn by players)? Setting them on fire when they are on the ground tends to work much faster than burning yourself out using unarmedheadhit or unarmedhit3 if youre not buffed.

Someone without armor? You can one shot them with the flamethrower and still have emough HAM for the next guy.

If it were such a waste of time I wouldnt have spent the time going up flame and har.

I take it you fight unbuffed?Otherwise, how do you burn yourself out? Ive tested it, believe me, the flamer is never faster than than unarmed head hit. That same armor that has high kinetic has high heat resist. Why use an attack that you have to wait at a bare minimum of 6 seconds, has 0 armor piercing (meaning before that 75% heat resist is factored in, 50% of your attack is already wasted), when you can attack mind pool once per second with an armor piercing attack? Even with the pathetic flame dot, the dps is still rediculously slower than using your tkm skills. I love commando, it pained me so much to drop master but you're fooling yourself if you thank the investment in the flame and har trees is worthwile. As far as one shot killing an unbuffed, unarmored player, it's nice and all, but I feel that killing an unbuffed, unarmored player in two shots is easy enough. I've been cornered by no less than 3 master commandos, all using flamethrowers. My health never dropped below half, and the master commandos were killed with ease. They all got exactly one shot each in, before I dropped them all. Flamethrower is just not worth it (god I wish it was).
