I bacame master commando, because when I first started the game I decided I wanted to go for combat and PvP. So After a few weeks of play and seeing how good the commando was in both PvP and on hunts ( Pre Nerfs ) , I decided to dedicate my time and money ( both real cash and in game cash ) to mastering the 3rd coolest looking prof in the game, after Jedi ( which I could not play, eventhough the back of the box said I could ) and TKM ( which i didnt take on principlal, as it dont make sense to me a mele fighter can take down soooo many ranged attackers from such range ).

So after about 6 months of play working towards Commando, and having all of the Artisans with one line in pistol or dancers with a carbine line say how powerful I was and not to use my flamer on hunts, I finally got Master !!!

All was good for about a month, I could solo Faction Missions, I could PvP, I even took down some Kryat babies on my own. All with the flamer, but that was fine other weapons sucked but the flamer worked and life was sweet, I was getting rewards from the painful slog it was to master the prof.

Then boom, with out warning, the Flamer is Nurfed, I am useless, I can no longer solo my 6K max faction missions without a lot of luck. Kryats I can not even do in a party etc etc etc.

I am faced with three choices ;

1. Quit the game in disgust for the wasted time to get master

2. Spend more time and get another profession like TKM or Rifel Master, hay or even both.

3. Wait and see what the vague combat rebalance will do for the profession, not a lot I would guess but I live in the hope.

I love my flamethrower and my launcher pistol. I loved them when they sucked and I loved them when they were the weapons of gods and Ilove them now. Granted I'm a Flame 4 commando at the moment but I really, REALLY want to love grenades, heavies and the HAR. I just don't see the point tho. Still I may go Master. I'd be Master in a heart beat if even just grenades worked right tho.

Why am i still a commando?

For me it's because of the burns from the flamethrower burns thru resists. Dosnt matter what resists the mob has, i can still take it down, even tho i might not do any damage on initial impact. Also i cant really see this proffesion going anywhere but forwards, so im waiting for some changes .

I play a commando because it is fun! I am not a PvP-er, and Commando is pretty strong against lots of stuff in PvE. It's my main money-maker profession, as I can solo a large amoutn of high-level missions in a very short time.

I am not just a 0-0-4-0 commando, and I didn't grind it out for a holo (just say NO to holos! hehe).The rest of my skill points are invested in Teras Kasi Master.

I played it because it looked like the bringer of the boom.

I mean day one I looked and went..oooh

Rocket launchers, Acid guns, flame thrower, grenades. AWESOME.

I remember the looks people gave when I pulled out my launcher pistol and they went WOW.

Then an odd then happened. The damage...it SUCKED.

I mean I'm a master commando with terrain 3 and some medic. I'm pure combat. And yet this master TKA/rifleman/fencer/pistoleer owns me who also could be a master DOC and buff himself. Or a master CH. Point is he was better balanced.

And so we bitched. Then SOE goes OOPS. Our bad.

Damage revamp. Who Hoo! Flame ON!

Fear us!

But then BAM! Nerf bat. BAM! Nerf bat.

Those that remain do so in the hope that one day..someday...
SOE will say...

Yeah..Commando is the dedicated destruction class. Deal with it.

No skills. No tactics. Just a big boom.

You want knockdown. You want to target a HAM. You want to have a variety of skills. Super. Do another class.

You want a big boom. Yeah, that would be the Commando.

Well said my friend. I must admit I was a bit disappointed when after trying so hard and so long to make master commando I finally made it and realized that I was still a wus in some very important aspects. Only one thing is work using for us. The trusty ol'e Flame Thrower. Somthing needs to be done to give us some veriety. I will always be a commando though, if not for just the marginal respect.

I mastered commando because it is a fun profession. It's also pretty dang good for PvE. I have an interesting theory though. A lot of people are creature handlers as their first profession. Then they see a commando waste their pets and they think "Wow, that's the best prof. in the world." This prob. isn't the main reason for it b/c it is a fun profession, but I'd be willing to bet there's a lot of these people out there.

Why?

Because I love the profession.

Because Commando is what I wanted to be.

Because after commando, other weapons are just boring, even if more powerfull, more easy to use.

Because the true commandos, are darn good people.

Because its easy to distinguish between a true commando and a dabbler flame IV commando.

Because being a commando is tuff, and it's a challenge to keep going and going like a Duracell bunny with the way Devs have been working.

Because being a commando, is standing up against the devs, and spitting them in the eye, as they are to swing their nerf bat again, and tell them: "you can swing that bat, but you'll never get Commando outta my blood, so you can better give up, and earn the cash I pay to play a commando!"

Because our correspondents are top notch, and are not afraid to do the same, standing up and speak up against the devs..without giving them an inch.
