Commando Archive

I don't like it either, but unless they totally rebuild the class...that's the way it looks to me.

All they need to do is add some Launcher Pistol specials and bonuses to the Field Tactics line, and we'd be set. Well, at least it would be the band-aid keeping our severed leg in place until they completely redo the Commando line to fit with whatever it is that they want us to do.

Guys, this is the deal. I really believe that SOE intends for us to advance in the advanced pistol profession alongside the commando tree.

So, I guess Rodians went up on the list of preferred races for Commando . . .

so smuggler and BH get lines for use with pistols but we have to take pistoleer to be good with our main weapon!? i say BAH to that

The 3x damage multiplier for heavy weapons is a myth. thank you. MYTH. get over it. MYTH!!!!

Incidentally while waiting for our profession to get fixed I mastered tka in a week. Sad how easy it was.

A little off-topic, but I'm doing TKA instead of Pistoleer as my second profession. I'm basically just swapping elite pistol skills for elite melee skills. My launcher pistol won't work quite as well but I'm also flexible in that I can use either melee or ranged as desired. I can basically be a tank that uses heavy weapons and the launcher pistol to pull and put on bleed or burn damage, etc. When things close to melee, I can unequip my weapon and still fight well without having to worry about the 3x damage penalty.

Seems like a playable alternative to the pistoleer/commando combo, so pistoleer isn'tthe only way to go.
