Commando Archive

carbineer does have some def mods, right? i never really looked at the tree, so i dont know. but that may be why you missed all the rockets. plus, if you werent kneeling, well, you would probably miss evenif you were fighting a novice artisan. *shrug* the love is coming, very slowly, but pub 7 looks promising. hopfully, more will come.

Carbineers have lousy defense mods.

meh, like i said, ive never really looked at the tree (my trip thru marksman carbines was enough to completely scare me away from that one), so i dont know these things.

Lol, understandable. I cant take the HAM cost myself but best they do I think is counterattack and like 25 KD defense and 15 intimidate defense. I noticed those only in my own calculations for defenses. Looking for those status effect defenses and pistoleer is the obvious choice for us.

On a side note, dodge, block and counter is supposed to be capped at 125. Im wondering if thats the same for melee/ranged defense.

yeah, that carbineer KD thing rocks. i love hunting with my carbineer guildmates. i just cant stop laughing.

not to talk like a noob but i've been playing since late july
i am now a master doctor / master fencer;
I was pvping earlier and I come across a Master Commando with a tef, so being the person I am i go up and dizzy KD him(dizzy and lunge) he prevents almost every move I do, so he does some flame moves on me and before you know it, im down running for my life.(I was fully buffed, with 2 brandys and a muon ate) and he had buffs and armor.
so they arne't to bad in pvp.... happend to me twice this past weekend.

and god if your not a medic and your 1v1'g it with a master commando, your just **edit** out of luck, I got 600+ mind wounds put on me in less then a minute.

I feel as one of those comandos that use this I should point this out as to not give the commandos themselves a wrong portrayal. The reason your KD/dizzy didnt work is probably (maybe they had it a diferent way) like me, or where Im heading to. I got Master commando, TKA 0-3-0-4, pistoleer 0-0-4-0, and fencer 2-0-0-0 as my goal for a template. That gives 136 melee defense, 132 ranged, 75 defense to KD, only 45 defense to dizzy and 50 defense to posture change down, hardly any of it comes from commando, I think we got like 2 things with 5 defense to status.

As for the flame hurting, it does hurt even buffed if your not wearing good armor, but most PvP players that are any good are wearing comp. I know some people dont like to because of HAM, but you almost have to and buffs are also almost a must. The FT is AP0 so armor goes a long way even if you just wear some freakin mabari and a PSG (Mabari is very light and protects against heat)

I hope that clears things up. Heck, I just told you how to combat everything really. The reason I took all these status defenses is because all these people that rely on just dizzy/KD to do everything for them. If that commando is like me, Im sure he took great pride in you looking at him funny when you didnt KD/dizzy him. lol

Ive had somewhat decent results in pvp. I got bored one day last week and decided to destroy all imperials i found at the Imp Outpost on dantooine. so i shuttle in overt *grins* and start flaming the hell out of every storm trooper i see, and start a running battle throughout the base with them. it was kickass fun well of course i had a TEF and immeadiatly came under fire from various Imp players. I was a one man wrecking crew. I was buffed, brandyed and mauned and in advanced comp armor. now im certain that the players i fought werent buffed as i dropped three of them with one shot from flamesingle2. but it was hellacious fun taking on that many players and npcs at once. i was tossing grenades with reckless abandon and flaming player and npc alike without a care in the world. after several minuets though it became apparant that i was outgunned (duh ), so i took shelter in the cloning center where i cloned so i could continue the carnage should i be taken out. a lone tka strode in to drop me, however i oneshotted his imperial ass with flamesingle2 , healed, and decided to give one final charge (my maun timer was about up at this point and the downer was immenent) i broke cover and came under fire immeadiatly. i was able to toss a couple grenades and drop several stormtroopers who were the victims of my FT a bit earlier. it was then i noticed that i was taking eyeshots from an imperial BH. well at that point my downer hit and it wasnt long after before i was at the cloning center all in all though it was alot of fun and i continued my assault for about an hour on the troopers and players who joined in the fun. in one on one situations with a char prepared for pvp, we are more then likely not going to win. i try to stay away from duels as i know its certain death, but ive found decent success in group assaults.

I must be better at pvp than you. I was able to drop a guy with my pb cannon last night. Range was good. I was kneeling. Sliced cannon. 2 other guys shooting him. Only took 13 shots, but I did get him.
