we're still stuck with only one weapon that works decently? also the dev said their lead programmer has assigned himself to all BH issues....when is it going to be the time for the Commando to shine? the word commando in itself should be something to be feared, but it isn't....
from Miriam-Webster a commando is a military unit trained and organized as shock troops especially for destroy
hit-and-run raids into enemy territory....
from Dictionary.com a commando is A small fighting force specially trained for making quick destructive raids against enemy-held areas...
from Cambridge a commando is (a member of) a small group of soldiers that are specially trained to make attacks on enemy areas which are particularly dangerous or difficult to attack
so why are we the only ones that are laughed at when we go into a fight? why can't we attack and run...no we have to attack and wait and get pounded on while we attack again....
should my 2nd Character remain a Master Commando and continue to be scoffed at or should I just choose another profession? should I wait until the "combat revamp" or go on ahead and do something else? any thoughts?

Good to see you in here Brandee.
I've been spending the past couple of days working out how to keep the profession I love the most, Commando, without going out of my damn mind.
If you want to run anywhere you better make sure you have a Master SL screaming retreat every two minutes.
If you want to do any damage, you better make sure you have some TKs or Heavy Swordsmen in the group - you sure as hell wont be making a difference.
If you want to go PvP, you had better enjoying jumping TEFed noobs at Emporer's Retreat/Rebel Hideout.

saddly, in this game, the captian makes a point.
As a commando you're not really much of anything, the "hit and run" squad would be based on those classes he mentioned....and no commando's to be sure

I agree with the "anti" Bounty Hunter, Is this Game called StarWarsGalaxies or Jedi Vs. B-Hunter.
However, I dont know where you guys where when they were handing out the Launcher Pistols, Partical Cannons & Rocket Launchers. Commando is only as good as the person playing and therefor the Equipment used.
As I've posted in the past, if you search "Smo'ki" under the commando forum @ You'll come up with a Thread called "FlameThrower Stats" I've also posted the stats of my BEST of perhaps 10 Great flamethrowers.
Solo-PVP is only for Fencers & Rifleman IF that. So really, what are you complaining about? in point form? For me its :
Grenades- Speed Mods dont work & they suck never the less, the only thing they're good for is Leveling Combat XP
HAR - Its too slow for what it does
Other than that, Master Commando cannot be equaled by non-jedi enhanced template, but can be beaten.
Professions are made to be used in combination, Its not our fault the DEVs screwed up with the DamageTypes{have you seen thelatest one? they changed "restraint" to lightsaber& therefor any armor allready on a vendor didnt get a retro-active fix & Claims to have "LightSaber" effectiveness where restraint was & people have bought 3m peices of armor thinking they're Anti-Jedi peices to find out they're really just a 3million dollar peice of 90% sliced Comp}. For Starters, The Jawa Rifle was never intended to be so powerfull, but with doubleslicing & krayt tissue with no serials that underestimated what it was capable of doing. Along those lines they meant the same thing for Fencer, having a 50-150 Stun weapon,. but somewhere along the line they lost visions because they had to "balance" professions that were being combined in ways the didnt anticipate. Adding Aklay Bones {And releasing the Geono bunker, but not letting it go live allowed players to pull their modem CAT5 out of the computer, walk into the cave replace the CAT5 with out losing connection & thus allowed "prenerf illegal aklay bone" which produced StunBattons upwards of 200-400 dmg @ 1-2.5 speeds. & they didnt even know thatyou could do that, so all the players who they thought "hacked" their way into the bunker, reallywalked in with ease & was un-banned/suspended & refunded 6 months of their subscription.I WISH I COULD GET SUSPENDED!!!!!!!!!!!}
Never the less,The New Jedi System is the basisfor the whole game & I garentee that by JTL this game will be by far the best "BANGfor your BUCK" as if its not allready, If you're so sick of sucking with Commando, why dont you master instead of just keeping Flame4, Thats why you're missing & or because you're trying to shoot a Fencer/pistoleer/rifleman,. in whichcasea simple macro of /aim;/aim;/aim;/flamecone2 will hit them 99% of the time.,. But I'll bet you $50 you didnt even know you could use /aim
Maybe Someday I'll post a thread giving away all my other "Sercrets of the Best" but for now I'd rather people just cry and complain so they give me more to work with, Like that last "nerf" of the flames HAHAHAHAHA that was a good one Please may I have another?

P.S. if you want Proof, I'll be on Flurry. I've dropped master for the meantime(3 days ago to continue my Jedi Grind) but I'll still beat you buffed & armored.
and I mean, Fencers, Rifles, Swordsman.. I own a stunshield & we all know what the real problem is - CHEF - something they thought would have no effect on the game when infact it affected many aspects of the game.
Like the "Mind" sets that used to cost @ least 10k from a Dancer/Musician, are now given away for Tips, because they cannot compete with something I can carry in my pack that cost less than 1k for 18 shots, that's 9 "trips" of 40 minutes and atmere100 credits & its a better buff because I dont have all my "HAM" points in my mind, because if no one else noticed, a MindSet is only double what you have. so thats a 500 to F&W and 1000 to my Mind, 2000 Points for 2 hours = 200 credits in "Food" land,
HEY CAN YOU TELL< THEY"RE GIVING BOUNTY HUNTERS A TK/FLAMETHROWER COMBO, I thought that was something that only smugglers and commandos could really do properly, but we were wrong yet again!
Like He asked, Should we bother waiting for this "COMBAT" balance that has been coming for 10 months or Move on to ShockTrooper/Bount-Hunters?

yes /aim, /aim, /aim is my number two macro followed by a 5k damage proton grenade and a 4k imperial detonator launch.....but still the simple fact remains.... i should be able to knock a TKA down and kill him instantly...they only spend 29 skill points of prereqs and we have to have 106 or prereqs....the question is....should i wait it out and see as i have been doing for a while or what should i do? with this ammount of SPs invested Commando's should be the most powerful thing in the game next to Jedi's and Commandos should be able to kill anything...(seen the resists lately on the high level mobs) but instead unless you're majorly buffed you can barely solo anything decent....

I can still Solo an Elder with 4004 Tk- /- 0040Commando -/- 4044 Pikeman., Im not sure what you have problems fighting? If Its PVP, then Its simple You CANNOT PVP SOLO, Unless like you said, You want to Jump people with TEFs.

so in otherwords to be a good commando you have to have TK so solo the high end mobs? i can understand that because almost everyone of em i've seen their resists are lower for TK damage and you also have a higher melee and ranged defense with TK...you can also meditate....
Commando....Flamethrower
TK..........Meditate, Powerful Unarmed hits which aren't as highly resisted, higher defense mods
good combo
But without TK how do you manage?
PS thanks for the nice non-flamed...good conversation thread

Apart from Restik, this is a Flurry Commando thread. Woot!
If there are better tactics out there I'd like to discuss it with you both. At the moment it's a bit trial and error for me and not working out too well. The weapon switch has affected my particular style of play (KD2, flame DoTs, unarmedhit3) against mobs.

That is the problem though. You dont even have half of your points into the commando tree. I was a master commando / master scout for a long time. I couldnt take on anything high end without help. Now with TKM, I can go pretty high end with little trouble. (and I dont even wear composite) The point is that without another profession commando is a worthless piece of junk.
