...Anyways as it stands now people only see the high damage you guys do per hit and dont realize the modifer bugs or the reload. They just dont see you guys as you really are a support profession. In a group when you are protected you can easily take out big targets but by yourself your a moving target....

Exactly. If I had a penny for every time I killed something AFTER it slayed me (when the fire takes effect) , I'd be one rich Trandoshan.

I need something to tank for me, plain and simple. The delay between firing is monstrous. Sure, I can kill a Tusken Raider in two shots. But in the time it takes to fire those two, I've been slapped roughly 15 times. At 400 damage per whack, do the math. With a tank, we are beastly.

Last night, some rebels raided Bestine. There were probably 15 or so rebels, and they came in and killed everyone at the outpost. I came back and torched a couple people, then got killed. (Mainly by waiting to attack them until they were in combat and distracted) Now, eventually the rebels left except for 4-5 rebels. All commandos.

By this time the Imperials were organized, a full team of 20. Guess what, they all stood in front of the outpost, overt, waiting for people to fight. What's REALLY funny is how they were all within 4 meters of each other.

Revenge TEF + 20 Imperials within 4m of each other + Flame Cone = A lot of dead people with a lot of wounds.

I was one of the few Imperials there that stayed out of range, while the Squad Leader frantically screamed out "Spread out! SPREAD OUT!" and no one listened. Then of course, they say "Commando's are going to get nerfed. They're way too strong."

What really pains me, is that the people crying are probably going to get attention. Which is why I'm playing while I can! Before they make us useless again.

You got up close with a pistol vs commando.....

NOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBB!!!!!!!!!

For all you pansies who are complaining, this is a quote from Ralph, and the only thing he might nerf about commandos is the ability to hit infantry with rockets.

"This is deliberate.

Flamethrowers and the like only have 4 special attacks, and they are all limited to 16 meters. So they are very powerful close range weapons.

Lefthand fire weapons are the equivalent of special attacks, but they are also based around charges.. a rocket launcher does 1500 more damage than a t21 special move, but it also consumes a portion of the item..

All of the lefthand fire weapons have damage values that I consider to be competitive compared to other ranged weapons out there..

If the rocket launcher causes problems in pvp, my solution would be to make it harder to hit smaller targets (such as players).

The rest of these weapons are correctly setup (at least for now). The commando class gets next to no defensive mods. They have reusable weapons that are fully functional at 16 meters or less. All of their other damage producing abilities are based around consumables which are extremely expensive.

Maybe those Imperials should have listened to that Squad Leader more. I, for one, would have listened to him and moved my a** over.....as well as busted out my own flamethrower/acid rifle....maybe even my launcher pistol just to lag them.

Squad Leaders are very underrated...most of them are players who know what they are talking about.

The best move I've found to use against stupid people.... peck at them from 64m or so... accuracy is really good from that far out... then run away, and they'll chase ya... duck around the first corner of a building you find and just wait.... they'll pop out point blank.... BAM one hit kill... I did this so many times in Theed the other night it would amaze you. And to the same people several times. Now that I've finally got flamesingle2 I might have to go try it again

The funniest thing also is that there were imp commandos there who would fight me, and occasionally light me up.... at which point I would run straight to the lake and the flames would subside... however every time I lit them up.... they'd just burn.. Apparently they choose not to pay attention to their targets at all. Oh well. More kills for me I guess.

Im no commando, but even though that was pretty stupid of them and i believe the commando should stay right where it is or they should make them stronger. I mean a commando implies that u have a big gun and lots of explosives. Y do idiots when they know the commando has some of the strongest weapons in the game rush a group of them. Besides if they dare try to nerf my commando weapons im gonna be very upset. Flame Thrower, Rocket Launcher, and Beam Cannon= Massive damage, but massive cost. 1 flame thrower takes close to an hour and half w/ massive numbers of specific resources. Laser Rifle takes 10 min. Like i said i hate people who dont understand y the commando can do damage like that. You all go through more **edit** to get your profession than any other w/ the exception of the Bounty Hunters. Just leave the commandos alone people unless u want to get incinerated.
