Well either you have really crappy armor or the pistoleer was crossed with bh, which is a really powerful combination, then they can light you on fire and hit you with 100 percent accuracy usually. or they could just spam eye shot and destroy your mind in 2 hits because you are wearing armor.

I think quitting would be a bit much... At any rate, I'm not a Master Commando yet, but I hope that they fix some of our bugs before they start weakening us. As for rifleman being overpowered, I don't know or care. I just think that our role should be a bit more defined, like the rifleman. Whether or not a rifleman can kill me isn't the point, but if Commandos are supposed to be PvP gods, then a class that spent half the points we did mastering their profession should at least have some difficulty defeating us. If we are not PvP gods, then that's fine: What are we? I wish the devs would be a bit more clear here. As for the Commando being the easiest class to master, how so? We may hit hard, but it takes a while before we can hit again (10 seconds I believe), so if I miss the mob I am trying to kill, I might as well start running. Easy? Compared to what? I seriously doubt we are the EASIEST. Granted, some classes may be harder, like the Smuggler or the Bounty Hunter, since they have 3 different experience pools they need to raise seperately, but I don't think that ALL classes have it harder than us.

Commando's are absolutly horrible in pvp they always have been, they are however incredible in pve and can easily solo a krayt dragon with even a small pet.

Hard to believe you, a rifleman, could **edit** about a commando soloing a krayt with a small pet?! Rifleman can solo a krayt with the bs "Conceal Shot", without ever using a pet or causing an agro. So plz, go back to the rifleman page and let the commandos burn in SWG Nerf flames. Have no fear, maybe not next month, rifleman will get their own nerf too. Sad, and inevitable.... ...we all will.

First of all Commando is the easiest proffesion to master...
that is the stupidest thing ive heard, do you know how HARD it is to get 70k of unarmed exp AND get 40k of combat exp? this is not rifleman buddy, I could master rifleman in a day if i wanted to by hunting rancors...it may be EASY to master commando, but getting there is no cake walk. for me, i can get about 200 unarmed tops off creaches, and 1-1.5k off lairs, but with rifleman, one shot from my rifle CAN get me 300 rifle exp, and killing gives me about 2k. ALSO killing lairs gives me 5k...for me i could master rifleman in a day..a week if i wanted to. i believe you can only say its easy to master IF you are a master rifleman.

Ive actually mastered commando when i was new and i have the badge to prove it, commando is gay and easy to master, and i wasnt saying it is overpowered i was saying it itsnt, and you can not solo krayts with conceal shot, and if you could which accuracy wont let you itd take hours.

And you definitly cant master it in a day because you have no idea how much rifleman sucks before you get master, if its so awesome why arent you instead of commando that you complain about. If rifleman was easy to master than everyoen would be one. And im master tk and your whining about to getting to unarmed like i didnt have to do it. and i had to get the combat xp the long way also because commando was my first proffesion when i started this game a few months ago.

Yeah you're right on this. I have some Rifleman skill (but I'm going to drop it because I'm mastering BH), Conceal Shot is lovely, but leveling the first boxes of rifleman is hard and boring. Yes, we can solo the big mob, if: we are buffed andwith a couple of crates of muon gold in the backpack.. BUT it will take an hour. And if we miss Conceal Shot 2 times, the mob aggroes. And when a novice rifleman is aggroed by a mid-tough mob, is dead because of the slowthe attack speed, the mind cost and the very low accuracy.

TKA is the easiest i have ran across for combat trees, commando's flame tree is a real pain.

Yea i can easily solo a krayt dragon i think mostly from my master tk dodge and stuff, he misses 90 percent of the time and i just mind shot and bleed him and then kite him when i am low. An after you have that flame tree on commando its simple to level except for the combat xp if you dont use grenades. btw every proffesion needs alot of combat xp. not just commando and bh, if any proffesion needs to be stronger its bh, they have no defence and it takes forever to master

You should hate publish 6 IceNine, as without defensive stacking (and you should have defenses out the wazoo with your build), you lose a lot of power (As you have one of the classic High Defensive Templates).
I'd be interested to hear how much harder you find mobs now that publish 6 appears to be live, so pleasepost your impressions here (or link to the forum you do post them on).

Rifleman tk isnt considered defence stacking, just melee defense and ranged together, the only stackin i have is in fencer and thats for the defense also. I doubt that defense from tk and rifleman will change to same weopon, ive read the notes and talked to dev's if they change it so a master tk can beat a master rifleman master tk so many people would quit the game so they arent gonna do it
