Thread: This is a Must Read
Notice they covered their butts by saying "potential" and this is one of the first times I haven't seen an online mag identify their source, but just said it come from "one LucasArts spokesperson"...
I've been interviewed by the Media many times and I'm quite familiar how easily they can take a comment out of context (or just take a partial bit of a comment) and run with it to create "sensational" news that incites the reader enough to read more...
Put it to you this way...I've seen what's coming and I'm not dropping my M.Commando/TKM...Although I am looking at creating a M.Commando/Smuggler or M.Commando/M.Rifleman as well...

With the release of the Jump to Lightspeed expansion approaching, LucasArts has said that much discussions is currently underway surrounding the much-awaited combat rebalance--with one LucasArts spokesperson talking of the potential "nerfing" of powerful professions such as Teras Kasi and Commando.
I actually addressed this about a week back in another Commando post...it's a COMPLETE LIE!!!!!
Those who know GamePro understand when I say they tend to occasionally have Tabloid articles (that's my personalopinion)...There is NO NERF to Commandos coming...let me repeat that NO NERF TO COMMANDOS!!!!!!!
What GamePro has failed to comprehend is that with the Revamp all of Combat is being changed...There are changes going in that could be interpreted as a NERF to ALL professions equally...they've basically taken that idea and, for shock value (which worked as they planned here) targetted it towards to professions to get readers to take notice...

Don't trust everything you read on these sites...my guess is that they are just making wild predictions to draw in readers...
Like I said in the previous post...certain aspects of the revamp may come across as NERFs to some, but when you look at the bigger picture, these changes effect ALL combat professions, so really, there isn't much effect there...what is effected is that professions will be geared towards "specializing"...each will have something they are best at...We will no longer think of our selves as 169pt Commandos, but rather 250pt Commandos...

As for a nerf... we don't use 3/4 of the weapons we've got, so now they just want us not to use any of 'em?
YEA!!!!

This is very intriging. After playing on TC2 today I decided to change my triple master template smug/pist/TKA to go Smuggler/Commando. KNowing I'm giving up a lot of ground in PVP I just thougth it would be interesting template and would offer some change of pace and a little fun. So I'm still grinding but decided to drop in on the commando forums and low and behold I noticed this comment. I know you can't say but I'm dieing to see what would intrigue about a possible smug/commando combo. You've got me excited now.

Well...about all I can say is that Smugglers are getting some new interesting tricks...For more info you'll just have to keep an eye on the Smuggler forum...Caylin is doing a great job over there...plus, they do have their own personal revamp apparently on the way (just not sure when)...
