Commando Archive

I think once they fix the heavy weapons being melee weapons bug rifleman will destroy us in pvp.

Rifleman hits you for 500 mind damage.

You hit rifleman for 80 action damage (he is wearing armor of course).

rifleman hits you for 600 mind damaeg.

You are dead.

Of course, it might be a little different if you are using a heavy particle cannon, but with the cost of using a charged weapon, i would expect it to be.

Hehe sure we can take down those Krayt dragons solo andnaked while the Dragons go Prone with their HUGE Krayt Dragon Rifle.....

Please read the forum and inform yourself about commando's and KNOWN BUGS with our Flamethrower/Heavy Acid Rifle.

Riddler is correct. As of the time of this writing, Flamethrowers and Heavy Acid Rifles are being counted as melee weapons. Meaning you get 2.5x the damage you normally would if you were holding a rifle. Now, as a side note: to even be hit that hard you'd have to have been hit with a special by said Flamethrower. Meaning you either

A) Didn't pay him much attention until he was right on top of you

or

B) Thought he wasn't going to mess with you

I'm assuming you already know that the Flamethower special only works within 16 meters of your target. If not, consider this your offical notice. Until the melee bug is fixed, don't carry a rifle near a commando, and don't let him get near you.

Riflemen already destroy us in PvP. They hit in the range of 6000 damage every 2 seconds...area of effect...at 64m. In PvP you have 4 seconds ot kill them... if they don't hit hard. If they do you have...well no seconds. =) My rifleman friend kills things in 4 seconds that I can hardly evenget half his damagein on wiht flame 2... I won't even bother dueling him without some heavy armor i have deceided. He AEed3 people and ther pets ot death in one shot one day. I don't ever want to mess with him.

Watched a Carbeener take down a commando today in 3 seconds. Poor guy never even got a shot off... was in a tourniment and they started at 10m. 3 crippling shots later (700+ damage each PvP damage)...dead commando and zero damage to the carbeener. So he even started inside 16m, and couldn't win... it takes more than 2 seconds ot stand up form a knock down.Carbeener killed every one there...didn't loose once while i was there. The only person who even got decent damage on him was the fencer...he even took down my rifleman friend easily. Yes he was heavily armored but most people never even hit him.

Already posted about combat medics. We have no chance against them really...one poison and we are toast while they heal themselves over and over. Combatmedic/doctor is even worse. Once they are buffed even a flame 2 won't drop them and they can heal themselves for 2k +.

I have not dueled a pistoleer since the changes went in for thier knockdown so I can't speak for them but...that is2 elite range classes who can kill a commando one on one...or almsot anyone one on one... with almost no effort. And one support class.

We have posted about this over and over. Classes are far more balanced than you are thinking...please look up my posts on commando weaknesses. You will find that our power comes at a sizalbe price. And if you jsut come here saying some commando hit you for tons of damage and that should never happen... you are just one in a series of posts that have appeared here. Notice that those posts are not on our first page or 2 any more... becuase those people stopped posting after we expalined a few things ot them. Or at least I hope that was why =).

And for the guy who got flamed on Eclipse...go look up ImCrEdEaGlE or however his name is spelled and offer to duel him. He is not a commando but I gaurentee he will give new meaningto the term "toast" for you. Or go find a master rifleman and duel him one on one and see how that turns out for you. If they are good you won't evne know what hit you.

And please don't go and post nerf stuff on their boards either. I believe other classes should be raised to an even standing with the classes that are already balanced in power... not that all classes should be lowered.
