Thread: New Commando
Oops. Forgot my message =)
Ok first let me say that I just achieved commando status and even with my extremely high hopes, im dissapointed to say the least. Mainly with the fact that I do as much dmg as a novice marksman with first tier skills. I have a flamethrower at the moment, since its the only weapon available that works.. it does 27-130 dmg, with a sliced 4.7 delay. This is ok except for the fact that I miss 1/2 of my shots and seem to have a huge drop in accuracy (more so than pistol) while moving.
After reading these posts, im starting to think the commando class will never get revamped and fixed. Is there any hope for the commando, or did I waste 40000 combat experience? I would hope not the latter...
One other question.. Are there any master weaponsmiths on starsider that can actually make a NICE flamethrower yet? Maybe that would help some..
EQ had broken classes too at first. At least you couldn't *start* as a commando and find that your entire character is worthless.
Hey, what does the flamethrower look like? DOes it look cool? Do MOBs chatch on fire?
Wow, that's some statement. Yes, we do suck and no, we don't know when exactly the devs are going to fix this totally messed up profession. We're not even sure if what they think is "fixed" matches what we think is "fixed".
I think even after the 1st "big patch" we're going to still suck. It's going to take a lot of complaining and perseverence on the part of those stupid enough to tuff it out.
The only way that you'll survive this profession is to learn to enjoy killing noobish mobs only (and having trouble with them), not grouping (because you will get no xp), and not doing any PvP (because you will get owned by dancers.)
Buzzy
If you have your heart set on Commando you're screwed because they are still the worst combat class in the game. You may have it for a while b4 there is anything that will improve spend time doing other things is my recommendation. If you get to Commando you will hate yourself for wasting the time.
I'm not sure about a good site other then this one, but you just need unarmed specialisation and master marksman and 40k combat xp.
Personally i'm getting novice tka and novice pistoleer with some of that 400000 xp to get the 40k combat xp. Still havn't desided which one to master, but both have good things inside for defensive bonuses and or good moves.
I just hope the DEVs fix the fact I don't have a holster for my gun.
