Commando Archive

Flamecone 2 is probably pretty amazing.... or would be if AOE effects were working properly.

What we really need is more robust bonuses all the way around for the master level skill. FC2 and AC2 just aren't going to cut it alone. Give master commandos what we desperately need, accuracy. I still dont' think the commando DPS justifies the terrible accuracy we get. Adding a nice accuracy bonus to master would keep the dabblers at current levels but reward those who go all the way.

Everyone is a Commando? Well no duh...

I am giving up all my Combat Medic skills in order to become a Commando. The reason? Why wait for my poison to tick two to three times in PvP when I can kill you in one hit? Sure, sure, there's a long cooldown....well theres a long delay on poisons too. Commandos are currently overpowered (OPINION) and I say if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Not only isalmost every pvper a commando but the ones that arent seem to be a BH... way to bring versitality to a game, pick 2 professions that can shoot for 10k a shot and watch 90% o fthe players be it. I think there will be many many changes to this game coming in the future as thsi can not stay that way.

Pfft...

I say just be what you want as long as you have fun. I consider anyone who just dabbles in Commando as a mere bandwagoneer/pvp griefer who will simply swap skills for the next flavor of the month class that comes along.

I am a master commando and I will never untrain it...

Me want grenade? grenade go boom!

BH is still the best pvp class. I am a commando, and am not nearly as effective as a BH in pvp. They also have a one shot kill weapon, and can still spam eyeshot. KD and LLC is a nice combo also. If the player knows what they are doing, it can be difficult to win. Against a moving target i miss half the time at least, and then get owned while i wait to shoot again...

Bounty hunters are nasty but I can take out most of them in 2 shots right now. LowBlow then flame 2 its a 2 shot kill unless I miss then anything can happen. As far as everyone being commando I dont think so yea there are more but there not every were I still see more BHs, and CHs as well as a good mix of the other professions.

As for bandwagoning thats just a dumb concept as far as im concerned the only classes that are really low right now as far as I can tell are chefs. I am not a master commando but I have been one since before the big patch I still have my 154 damage flamethrower as well but I will never be a master commando becuase I wanted to be a Master Smuggler.

There are a lot of people switching over to commando. I remember the days where youare waiting fortheshuttle and someone sees your heavy acid rifle or flamethrower and says"cool what gun is that?". In my opinion they are overpowered. I think they need to balance all the other combat professions and then reduce damage overall as well. That or add H/A/M bonuses up certain skill trees as well. Combat is over too quickly in this game.

I still have my first Flamethrower in my bank. It's sliced and does 15-154 dmg, 4.7 spd =)

I still have my first 3 flamethrowers all similiar to your first hanging on my wall..never gonna let them go..and to let new ppl and bandwagoner's see the crap weapons we use to have to endure.

First off, I'm a Bounty Hunter, and second, you're right I'm seeing more commando's then ever. Like some has said, its the flavor of the month right now. And I HOPE, you guys keep everything you've waited so long for. Yes, FT is a powerful weapon, so is eyeshot, but what gets me is that everyone always complains about PvsP, when in the newest poll released, the number 1 missions is Solo vs PE, 2, Group vs PE, and 3 PvsP.

You need your FT for the creatures you're now encountering outside of PvsP, just as we need our eyeshots for our bounties. I know this is a bit off-topic, but with what's been said already, thought I'll throw in my 2 cents.

And, for those saying that some are doing bh just for eyeshot cause there's not many MBH, need to try our investigation tree. 45 mins for a mark, IF it has spawned, and NOT white, to earn 60-75 xp. This is a branch of our tree, that 4 bh's told me not to learn Investigate I, keep earning the lower xp from novice, because Invest I, was even worse at xp. This is even posted in the BH section of these boards. This is the main reason you don't see many MBH's.

Best of luck to you all, and hope the Dev's keep their nerf bats locked away.

If they move eyeshot to MBH , will probably drop BH and go Commando flamer/CH combo or the Commando/Smuggler combo - personally eyeshot isnt really that powerful , its just that its a pain to die to eyeshot because you cant get healed by your team right away.

To counter eyeshot is easy , a fair amount in mind and a decent helmet, then you just flame away with the most UBER PvP weapon in the game .. the flame thrower.
