Commando Archive

Are commandos worth playing? I see complaints about the miss rate along with a few other things - is it really that bad? from the description of the class, it sounds awsome (it's what I want to be able to do), but sometimes in practice things are lacking... How is the "real" experience vs the profession description?

I'd like to know before i spend the time mastering both brawler and marksman. If they aren't worth playing, I won't bother with brawler.... My goal is to go in, cause as much carnage and distruction as possible... Any pointers would be appreciated. Is there a commando guide or faq anywhere? I didn't see one here...

Like Willy said. Don't bother.

wow... ok... think I'll go master rifleman/master ranger...... maybe another time try commando.. thanks for the advice - even if it was all negative better to find out now than after playing for a while and having to start the exp grind again

just some more vocabulary fun... masochistic sadist is a perfectly ok term as far as i know, but there is actually a term that combines the two only slightly better...

sadomasochist. one who loves pain, be it giving or receiving.

yup. i don't mean to harp on ya, willie

I know Tastyclown and at the time I was writing that for the life of me I couldn't think of that other word.

Well if we haven't scared off the original poster by now... With these changes coming through to us on the Test Center you might actually want to become a commando. Apparently there is a little bit of life left in this dead horse of a class after all.

Anybody else wonder why a thread that basically thrashes on the entire commando profession was made sticky? Hehe, almost looks like they are trying to keep people from becoming commandos.

ok, first off.. it dosnt matter if he should be a pistoleer, or whatever you guys are saying to him, fact is..if he wants to be a commando, why should you stand in his way? not everyone wants to be the "1337 dewd" and own everyone in pvp.. some people do it for the Roleplaying purposes.. or just because they like the premiss on which the class is based

I'm gonna necro this post since it's stickied anyway...

I've been in several groups that absolutely refuse to take a commando period because all commando weapons are AE except what, the proton rifle? And it doesn't even work. Commando is supposed to be a 5 rating in the damage scale, but I just don't see it, even if the AE effect on weapons actually did damage instead of agroing. Many ranged professions have AE attacks that they can use.

So guys, tell me... what all has changed? For 3 months when the game went live I was a die hard commando. I still remember being totally jazzed when I finally got commando and picked up my first LP. But seriously, I just don't see what all has changed since then...
