Rudd, you Hit something with a rifle for 20k, it's not extreamly difficult to do that dmg on a npc with a rifle



As for Eclipse, there are tons of people running around with flamethrowers now...used to be I could count on one hand how many Active Commandos there were.

Well, I was a Carbineer/Squad Leader... Had the max aprentice points allready from those who didnt know what they went into by going squad leader...Had the combat xp, as I was on my way to box 3 in the carbine line....All I needed was finnish pistol and rifle..and the unarmed.


A few hunting trips with my BH cousin, and I had gotten the rifle and unarmed...Altho I did spend 3-4 hours just circling Coronet when my cousin wasnt around.


Within 2 days I reached commando.


3rd day I had flamer I


4th day im getting flamer II and tactics I. Giving up Squad leader skills and carbineer skills as I earn new commando skills.


Call me a bandwagoner or not, the last days, I've had more fun, and done more exploring than I have ever done with my "carbine squad leader"....

The most obvious choice for a commando would be commando/pistoleer. Now that template is kind of being shoved down our throats based on the whole Launcher Pistol situation which I dont like even though Im a pistoleer (which I picked long before the LP changes). If you are planning on mastering commando and another elite profession your only choices are pistoleer, carbineer, rifleman, smuggler and TKA.

I'm guessing that some of this is offset by the LLC fixes along with the Commando heavy weapons. I haven't seen a while lot of commandos on my server (Flurry), it has been an increase though.


But OMG I see more BHs running around with their cannons more then ever before. I thought melee had it bad before (with like 2 fencers in our galaxy) now its really bad! My weaponsmith friend has been selling LLCs left and right, more so then flamethrowers.

So sick of seeing novice commando this or grenadeer that.....

Extremely sick of it.


At least no one has dared call me a bandwagoneer there, being the first one and all...

I see alot of bandwagon jumpers and most are brazen about telling you the only reason the want commando is for flamethrower and its skill tree!


I've seen CH's, BH's, Medics, Marksmen, Artisans, and even Entertainers running around proudly with their new flamethrowers!!!!!!!!!!! But I guess if they ground out the xp for it, then how do you stop it? Personally I'm smuggler 2/0/2/0, pistoleer2/2/2/2, Commando 1/2/2/2 with every intention from day 1 of being Commando and will keep going until I reach Master Commando.

I guess you can call me a bandwagoneer...I've been master smuggler a while now, with my eye on commando. I was waiting for fixes before I jumped into it, knowing that the transition would not take long considering I already had the unarmed xp, the pistol xp, and the ranged marksman xp. It took like 3 or 4 days of very casual playing to level up rifle and carbine to get to master...grr carbine stunk though.

Most bandwagonners will be smugglers(yes i am), at least for a while.
Easy enough for me since I had all the requirements and tons of stored xp from before I surrendered BH(master minus investigation).

To say the truth tho, I decided to go smuggler/commando without knowing about the fixes to commando(and the breakage of smuggler )

If the titles exploit still existed, I'd wear Smugglando, always liked to lob grenades around.

Anyways, to get back on the subject, most Bandwagonners are still stuck on unarmed, thinking they can't use vibroknucles since they don't have the certification for it, and having to get rifle/carbien xp solo. At least on my server(Lowca)

And yes, there is still a lot more BHs, and BHs in becomming. It seems more attractive getting a class that gets pistol/carbine mods and specials, and an heavy weapon with the same specials and very close damage, than getting a whole class dedicated to these and charged weapons, without any specials besides damage ones.

I think it's funny when someone says that they hate seeing a new commando. I reached commando last week (pre-patch) after two and a half months of fairly casual play. It has always been my plan to be a commando, but I am just a novice. There's nothing I can do about the appearance of bandwagon.
