Another nice little tactic is to use pistolmeleedefence1 from the pistol grips I box of pistoleer.

Knock the mob to the floor with pistolmeleedefence, whip out your flamer, fire off a flamesingle and then switch back to pistol before the mob gets up off the floor.

I duo a lot with my friend... he's master brawler and heading for TKA Master. Let me tell you that KD + Warcry2 when it lands makes fights almost too easy. It doesnt always land though, even with several 'Fear Releases' that give +10 each, and HAM costs need to be considered too.
So its not the ultimate kill everything skill, but when it does work.. well.. a KD target you have free reign over for 20 seconds... not a pretty sight

warcry comes with novice brawler so for what commando's have as part of their proffession skills and prerequisites, its one of the skills we should use.

Personally though, there are more effective ways to overcome the nerf:

1) TKA Knockdown and Dizzy: better than warcry since you can flame the target and run a bit away. And it almost always works.

2) Carbineer Charget Shot1 and 1H sword box 3 dizzy: same effect as above, less points spent.

3) Rifleman Dizzy and Carbineer Charge Shot1: KD and dizzy from range.

4) Rifleman Dizzy and Smuggler Low Blow KD: Dizzy and KD from range and you get added utilities like feign death and panic shot (panic shot is a ranged version of warcry).

Yes we have Warcry, why do we have it? Well as you grind we have to be a Brawler to get to Commando and Novice Brawler has Warcry. This is just a couple of "hidden" talents the Commando has as he CAN use the other abilites in the other professions we had to take to get to the illustrious profession of Commando. I suggest you try the Marksman generic specials with your flamers and be surprised with what some these other specials can do for you. Commandos are just not flame2single/cone machines we have other abilites. It is good to see that you have uncovered this new ability.

Hey tacwraith, thanks for the great tip... what's funny is most Commandos prolly stopped using all of their unarmed (including me) the moment they got Unarmed IV... What's even funnier, is I've been grouping w/ a TKM for several weeks now and have been watching her use Warcry, hehe.

Here's another tip that most already know. If you've got agro from an animal,don't forget your old pistol skills and the Launcher Pistol. WarningShot and SuppressionFire still work

very nice find tac

I sorta wish they enabled players to enlarge the toolbar...im outa room for all my specials hehe! and now this?

It should work with humanoid mobs because it works in pvp.......whoops did I just say it works in pvp You may also want to place intimidate on your hot bar as well.

Awesome info.. you have been awarded 5 gold stars

Thanks for the tip Tac.. used it last night for the first time while hunting Rancors with some guildies. Warcry, FlameCone2 and back out of melee and let the..... Pet ....... close in. Hey... don't look at me like that, it wasn't MY pet.....

BTW on a funny note... if your near a lair when you do this watch the system messages.. I got one that said "You delay a dead log for 10 seconds." Now THAT'S uber. lol

All I can say is Hell Yeah baby! Nice find, I went home and tried this on Dath against the dam Nocusous Kam, and worked like a charms, jjst as you described! My hunting has become like new again, thx again!

Heheh, nice to see atleast some of you are thinking about how to make do with what we still have. I have personally been doing this, for quite a while. The launcher pistol works in a pinch also. Just hit the mob with warning shot a few times and then bleed it and overcharge shot it until it starts coming back at ya. Then repeat with warning shot. While im here heres a little rant... Isn't it ironic that they keep nerfing us and telling us that were fine as is, yet the HAR is better off as a bat, and hitting with grennades seem to have the same chance as winning the califrnia lottery. Not too mention that you have to sell your sell to satan just to purchase a few heavy weapons, which you will most likely miss with anyhow.. Anyhoozin, i need a beer so im out...

Azhiaziam

Hmmm what am I doing wrong here. I binded a key for warcry and I press it after i begin an attack but the creatures just keep coming.

Hey that would be a cool game and also give us commandos something to do with our broken weapons!

Commando Cricket!

HAR as bat.

Grenades as balls.
