Thread: Commando in PvP? Yes, no, maybe so?
You people that keep complaining that FS misses 50% of the time are aware that there's a generic combat ability called "aim", right? I never hit FS without first hitting aim, and I hit probably 95% of the time. It takes an extra second or so, but I'd rather take an extra second and hit the first time than wait 8-10 seconds after I miss to try again.
Oh, and, yes, Commando kicks ass the a city where you can run around corners and stuff. Out in the open, no dice. But that makes sense...they don't send commandos in real life out to fight in the open, either. I'm not saying we're PvP gods, as someone else has pointed out in a sticky thread, but if you use the right tactics, you, too, can own as a Commando in PvP.
Commando is good in pvp if your in range
oh,i just ad to point this out

That worked befor but now I say you want to master 2 professions if you are into PvP that would give you both mitigators, but if you wanted PvE Id say take a skill that gives you melee mitigator 3.
commandos are great in cities. if your first flame misses just run around corners fora few seconds.
Have the best of both worlds
Here's what I'm currently doing:
Master Smuggler
Pistoleer 0344
Commando 0040
Novice medic.
If I can ever afford to, I will drop novice medic and master pistoleer.

forget that last part.. its impossible
I'm a TKA/Commando
I eat pets for breakfast. I almost get overjoyed when seeing a pet come out.
Down right deadly at 16m or closer. If I get you within 3m, you'll find yourself knockeddown+dizzy, then flamed.
In my experince Commando sucks at PvP, probably the worse single (in PvP)combatclass in the game!
With heavy weapon equiped Commandos have almost no defensive bonus at all! As a matter-of-fact commandos take less damage from pistol with unarmed 4 (no weapon equiped) than with their Flamethrower equiped (Zeroheavy weapon bonuses) I tried it the other day with my smuggler friend.
TheCommandos who say Commando is good at PvP are the ones with TKA on the side or Pistoleer/Smugger, and it is the TKA or Pistoleer or Smugglerthat are making them good at PvP, not Commando.
Commando has only one thing going for it and that is the Flame DOT. It is the one of the best DOTs in the Game. Probaby not the best DOT for PvP though. (Combat medics probably have those) But really good for large MOBs and Stuff.
Just my opinion
Also stopping shot is fun as well, i like the fact that i can use my pistoleer skills with my Commando Launcher Pistol. makes PvP easier.
