Commando Archive

I had a guy hitting me for 1000+ PvP damage with Last Ditch the other day, must have been one heck of a FWG5+DMGSlice+PowerUp... this was from max range mind you... yea i didnt have armor or shield...

My 200 dam FWG5 routinely hits PvE for 2500 without powerup with my Smuggler using Last Ditch, so it does seem quite possible to 1-shot with a pistol in PvP.

300 dam fwg5 (krayt) 35% damage slice and a 33% power up = ur soooooo owned 500 damage pistol easy, its worth noting i havent seen a 35% slice on one but if it occured OMG that pistol would rock

You guys seem to be getting your PvE and PvP mixed up. From all the posts I've read here, and i've read a lot of them. Commandos only hit those 14k-20k hits in PvE. So placing those numbers on composite armor and shields is ludicris since those apply in PvP.

If wearing full composite armor and a shield players will survive the initial damage of a flame thrower. It's the DOT that finally incaps you, and only because DOTs are unaffected by armor resists.

So before you go spouting off about how a commado can hit for 20k in a PvP situation cause you read about some commandos hitting that high, take a few mins to read further and you'll see they were talking about PvE.

All damage from weapons is reduced by 75% before any armor is taken into account. But make sure you're wearing armor cause if you're not a commando could surly one shot hit you...... that is if he doesn't miss.

Pistoleer dabblers are about to be done away with..we hope.

lol. Yes, in theory. A 420 max damage gun, hitting an armored, unshielded opponents, doing max damage, with the highest pistol special last ditch, could in theory eek out 1000 damage in a hit. You'd HAVE to do max damage though.

Not even eek out. My 351 max damage will hit for 1100+ in PvP. A 420 max damage gun should be able to reach 1300-1400 damage in PvP.

With my 370 damage launcher pistol (+60 krayt + 20 barrel thingie +33% damage slice +35% power up) i'm already hitting BS2 for 1500, so i'm guessing the higher specials can easily hit for more.

How is that?

Yes, other players do the same amount of damage we do in the same amout of OVERALL time. Big deal. I set something on fire, I can do a massive amount of damage almost instantly, while the BH or pistoleer is going to need 3-6 seconds to do that kind of damage. I've seen a lot of flamethrower duels that were 3 second duels and that's including the deathblow. Never seen a pistoleer or BH do one as quickly.

Don't forget our heavy weapons. Once you get a good credit stream and a weaponsmith who'll sell to you in bulk, you can do sick damage with weapons like the PBC. It's expensive, but it's one more card you can play if you have to.

I'm crossing over from smuggler. I've dropped a Last Ditch with my Launcher Pistol that did 1500, and I can scratch 1700 with my FWG if they're not heat resistant. And mind you, I'm a smuggler. In PvP that's like what, 200, 300?

I wouldn't judge PvP by PvE. Armors and max-min gaps and all kinds of stuff affect how much damage goes out.

I'm a novice commando with 3,0,3,0 and I was fighting with a bh/pitoleer and his sliced kreyt tissue enhanced scatter pistol was hitting for 1400 every 2 seconds. I was a little upset. We were on Dathomire and night sister arch witch jumped us and between my burn and his shots and 2 cowerdly gurreks we took her down in a nominal ammount of time. I was a litle upset cause I did the same dammage in 4 times the time. anybody else concerned about this?

Well he spent twice into combat skills, bh and pistoleer is a lot.

Also he would do 0 dmg to nightsister with scatter, so you got to cut down on false stories. Nighsister is 100% resistant to acid.

100% resist doesn't mean 0 dmg from it
