Well we need something. Anything else than a nerf would be nice.

I just made master today, and I for one do not feel like a commando at all. Our community leader has it all summoned up nicely and I do agree that things need to change drastically.
I want to be that elite soldier in the battlefield that goes in to take targets out, not the pummelling bag that I'm right now. A commando should be a feared opponent in battle, not someone waiting in the back for the unarmed combatants to take the heat out and throw about 10 grenades to make one hit for a sorry 1k damage on a target without resists.
A commando is an elite soldier specialized in many type of weapons aimed at fast destruction of a target. Currently I feel more like a walking torch, who gets killed when he even considers firing up his flamer.

With so little really explained by the manual or in game help I feel cheated and not just little perplexed somewhat being somewhat new to this game and just mastering commando. How would any know or believe when choosing a profession direction that those with Hand to Hand and melee skills and weapons like swords and axes would be able to overpower someone who just shot them in the face with a rocket launcher? It just doesn't make sense or logic at all. Commando has so very little close range efffectiveness i.e. PVP but we have melee and hand to hand techniques showen by brawlers and TKA's that can strike at unbelievable distances. What do you call that ? Ranged Melee? It doesn't make sense. I thought at first having unarmed as a pre-req was a kewl idea until I realized how neutered it was in commando. I chose in going the commando route because I assumed looking at it logically and basing it on likeany person would the relatiion these weapons and styles would have in the real world to a certain degree and from all the other games i've played with similiar weapons and such. How could you not expect someone who didn't know all the little quirky things going on in this game to draw the conclusion that a character that required so many more skill points and pre-reqs and who seemes to get such powerful weapons would probably be truly bad assed. I mean that's what I thought when I was comparing professioins. The reality of it though is beyond ridiculous. How could anyone believe that after getting shot in the face by a rockket launcher, baraged by mini rockets, blasted by high level particle beam weapons that it would be possible for your opponent to stand relatively unharmed and then hit you with a punch or kick form like 15-20 meters!!! I 'm sorry but I can't be the only person who sees the inherent and unbelievable ridiculousness of that. I might have taken a different course if I had know that. It's like being given a war and the weapons but instead of real ammo we have to fight beings that defy the laws of physics with paint balls. How could anyone expect a person who is new to the game to realize such a ridiculous thing? Long range weapons that miss most of the time at long range when fighting PVP and melee weapons that hit almost always at a distance?!!? I whole heartedly agree that this profession needs a revamp if not just for all the time that me and many others may feel was cheated from us. In spite of it all I still want to give it a chance because there are still aspects I like of this profession and I see the possiblities it could have. I feel the idea of an addition of an assualt type weapon is a great idea and would like to be considered perhaps the addition of the flash grenade and concussion grenade. Well that's my two cents worth.

Signed.
I too made Master Commando within the few weeks. Itotally agree with bulk of the comments here. From just my short time as a Master Commando and long grind to get here (gotta love the Torturs on Talus) i too feel we need a full revamp. The acid rifle is just down right unuseable, i no longer carry it.I took my last few skill points and went to Novice Bounty Hunter and the Scatter Pistol for a decent acid weapon as well as the Light Lightning Cannon for a viable electric weapon to fill the gaps. Give us the cert for the LLC, it is concidered a heavy weapon and i used the experiance points from my Commando weapons to acheive LLC 4. The expendabale electric weapon is just too expensive for what it is, almost 1000 credits per shot and it rarley hits. The introduction of a fast firing assalut style weapon seems to be a great addition to the commando arsenal. We need it along with so many more tweaks as mentioned in the above posts.
I WANT to be a Commando.
IWANT to be an elite fighting force on the battlefield.
I WANT to have weapons and perks that reflect the time and energy it took to gain the tag i am so proud of.
Great posts above my fellow Commandos. I will follow this topic with diligence.
Please fix my choosen profession.
