Here's a Thread for you to post your current opinion of the Commando Profession,. Stick up some weapon stats and combinations of professions if you want.

Commando is very evenly balanced with other professions, but when used with combination can become much more powerfull.

Ehhh
Only reason to Master Commando is to get the accuracy bonus for FTand a lill melee and ranged defences. It got to to many skill points for me to only use one weapon with no AP only doing heat damage with all the heat resistance creatures/ NPC's so I dropped it. Fun to set things on fire tho but that got nerfed so why bother with Commando ...

Commando is utterly weak and incompetent when compared with the true meaning of the word "commando".
Commandos are supposed to be battle-hardened warriors, the master of every type of weapon and tactical school of thought, able to fight their way out of any situation imaginable. Commandos aren't SUPPOSED to be "evenly balanced with the other professions"...commandos are the TOP NOTCH combatants, superior tomost other forms. We're supposed to be THE combat profession to be, especially considering it takes so much XP to master commando. That is the MEANING of the word commando. Instead, our only use is PvE and any novice medic can take us down. Sure we can fire/intimidate a DJM NPC to death, but that just kinda sucks.
Shoot, if the Navy SEALs (some of the best commandos in existence) were no better than a rifle champion at a backwoods firearms competition, or a typical karate black belt, I'd never want to be a Navy SEAL.

FUBAR, bigtime.
Fubar, whatever do you mean? ButCommandos are the high damage dealers, no?
6000 damage every 8 seconds? How bout that?
Great, my Rifleman (with many less skillpoints) does 3000-4000 per second.
What else is wrong with Commando? If you are reading this, you probably already know.
- Grenades = useless; slow, borked radiuses, no states, poor damage (except to yourself), ham costs
- Hvy Wpns = useless; slow,expensive, ham costs
- HAR = useless; nuff said
- Therefore, a whole 3 trees of Commado = useless
Also:
- cannot do any state effects
- No state defenses (+5 KD def = no defenses)
- poor melee defense
- poor ranged defense
- poor accuracy with all weapons, even at master
- poor speed with all weapons, even at master
- no Dodge, Counterattack, or Block mods
- the one set of specials that work only work within 16m. So Commando gets outdistanced by Ranged AND Melee players
- PvP DOTs all suck
- requires Unarmed 1-4, which gives no benefits
- requires carbine and rifle trees in Marksman which give no beneifts
- thats enough for now. Commando is Fubar.

A true commando...
...is a commando who knows no fear...
...is a commando who knows no defeat...
...is a noble warrior who will fight till his last breath of air.
We have seen our ups and downs galore, the few and the proud here who have stuck to their guns for a year now or more...are the embodiement of this (virtually of course...but I do wonder about that fellow, Garvin!
