Thread: We should get LLC cert

Ok, if you get LLC, then pistoleers should get the scatter and BH might as well get the launcher.
Dam, dumb dumb dumb. We need classes to have unique stuff to make them what they are. You have a Flamethrower with a deadly DoT, and even worse when its used on Tattooine. Let BHs have thier LLC weapon. Just ask the for HAR to be like it, cept its acid, duh.
We are not a heavy weapons profession, simple as that. Sure, we master marksmen like commando but they dedicate a profession to Heavy weapons, we dont. We dont dedicate a whole profession to pistols and carbines either, but we at least have them as prerequisites...something pistoleers and carbineers dont.
I think the commando should have access to the LLC,after all it is a heavy weapon. I say let us use the LLC too and give the bounty hunter some expendables (we have expendables) that do something like slow their target's run speedor something.
why on earth was this thread made sticky?
anyways, i'm with relic on this. i too saw no reason why the bounty hunters were given heavy weapons. i would think that they would have a rifle tree, making them powerful in the 3 main types of ranged weapons. you'd think a BH that wants to off his bounty rather than bring him in alive would choose to "snipe" at his mark, instead of running up with a big sparking gun that gives off an energy signature that can be seen from very far away.
do you other commandos really see a practical use in us having a cert for the LLC other than the reason of "since its a heavy weapon, we should be able to use it"? if something has vulnerability to electiricty, use a lightning beam cannon on it. those are waaaay cheaper than rocket launchers, and you don't feel as bad when firing off a round. or, just stick a burn on it and kill it quicker that way.
The thing that confuses me is why we have a heavy weapon and no ability to use thermal detonators.
HUH?
What is so hard about using a grenade? Christ even I could probably through a grenade and do at least SOME damage. The thermal detonator does like 2k damage...if my BH uses one on a creature lair it will do 8 damage. What!? 8 damage? A 2k damage grenade thrown at a static target and it takes a damage reduction THAT severe?
Its a grenade, you throw it, it goes boom. Sure mistakes can be made of course, but it isnt exactly brain surgery either...
Id say give Commandos the LLC, give BHs acert to use some grenades, equipment to help us bounty hunt and we got a fair trade. I know grenades arent spectacular, but if implemented properly they could help BHs a lot. BHs should have the knowledge to use many different kinds of weapons, but we arent made to take down big creatures or ATSTs, so theres no reason to give us heavy weapons.

Yea exactly. We want equipment and such to bring in our bounties alive if we can, not bring some KFC back to whoever placed the bounty on the target.
Actually I am BH and agree with you on one thing. A heavy weapon as nothing to do in the BH profession. I believe originally the LLC was supposed to be a rifle which would have reinforced the profile of the BH as a supped-up marksman improving on all the aspect of marksmanship.
I would have been much happier if the LLC had stayed a rifle anf if I was still able to use those rifle specials from marksman. But then we probably would get nerfed again so maybe not!
