Assignment #2 is easy and will be used to give the Devs some inspiration to work with...

If you could steal one weapon and/or one specials (they don't have to work together) from ANY profession, what would you take and why? You can even alter it a bit to be more "Commando"...

Example:

I would take the LLC from BH's because it would be nice to have another high powered non-consumable Heavy weapon of a different Damage type.

I'd also take the Last Ditch special from Smugglers and alter it a bit to work with our FT...It is a powerful shot that takes a lot out of the user...Since we are usually on the front lines getting hit with hard with damage, it would be nice to have a special that allows us to go out in a BLAZE of glory...

Feel free to offer more then one item or if you like, just one weapon or special...you don't have to offer both...

I would take the dizzy and KD from TKM and make them both into a single commando special move:

For the Master:

Special move: Groin kick.
Available at: Master Commando
Timer: 15s
Chance of KD: 75%
Chance of Dizzy: 50%
Chance of Stun: 50%
Range: Melee/point blank
Description: A savage kick to the groin area will often disorient your opponents and possibly cause them to fall down.

And a weaker variant for the novices:

Special move: Pistol whip.
Available at: Novice Commando or Support 1.
Timer: 15s
Chance of KD: 10%
Chance of Blind: 10%
Chance of Dizzy: 25%
Chance of Stun: 50%
Range: Melee/point blank
Description: Smashing your weapons stock into your opponents face may cause eye damage and disorientation. Dont do that, You'll put your eye out!

Also, here are some passive skill additions:

Skill addition: Melee damage mitigation 1 through 3.
Available at: Support 1 through master.
Adds skill: Melee Damage Mitigation One, Two, and Three.

Skill addition: KD Defense.
Available at: Support 1 through master.
Defense vs Knockdown: 75 (at master, feel free to adjust this)
Description: Because I spend more time on my back than a Hollywood Boulevard hooker.

All of the above justify our brawler unarmed skill requirements. The melee damage mitigation is there to make up for our extremely short ranged specials.

I'd take a heavier version of the laser carbine and Suppression Fire 2. Modify the laser to +100 min and max damage, give it better acc at longer range. Perfect for our Repeating Blaster.

i agree!, we need a long range weapon, I went up the carbineer line in BH and the special abilities line in carbineer (now i have all the knock downs) and I can run into a battle (NPC) and do damn good

Though, the problem with this though is of course, no good in solo PvP....*Shrug*

I don't agree with getting the LLC because again its just another Flamer with a different damage type, and if anything should be placed in a "heavy weapons" tree along with the flamer and (a fixed) HAR. (Whilethe LLC isfast, the specials don't do as much damage as the flamer at a higher ham cost )

I want to be able to us Stim B. Not make them, not be proficient with them...just use them. It seems logical to me that a commando would have at least a little first aid knowledge. So how about putting 5 points of Medical Capability in Field Tactics. Being able to heal yourself, no matter how little, is invaluable to me.

Mind Bleed 2with the HAR, it is a rifle after all.

AOE Stun/Dizzy/Bleeds/KD status with grenades.

Blind status with Flame Thrower.

Reusable RPG

Should also be able to use CoB with our weapons equiped, since it is a requirement for the profession

Even if someone already posted something similar, I appreciate you posted it as well...The more something shows up, the more evident in might be that desire is high for that type of option...
