That us commandos get strong so fast, like i was a master marksman doin 256 damage per shot with my scout blaster . Then i get a flamethrower it does 1,000 damage, but its slow and misses alot, so eventuallyi get flamers 1. Im doin 5,000 dmage now... I mean, I like power more than the next guy,but i became stronger than i would have ever dreamed of being in two-three days. Does anyone else see my point?

What's even funnier, is that those figures don't look at all the facts.
A) that's tons less DPS than some other profs
B) if the opponent is armord with heat resists... ouch to us
C) we have lots less defences than other people
D) at master, we're LOTS less powerful than other combat classes (almost better to just go rifleman and TKA since you've knocked out the prereq's.
It may seem that we're super uber powerful, but we're not... we're VERY far from.

I just read over my post... it sounded kind of rude and flamish... didn't mean for that to be the case. I apologize.

lol yeah, it's not friendly duel... err friendly. Flamethrower with flamesingle 2 is VERY powerful in PvP if your opponent isn't armored, buffed, stacking defenses, standing, or at the keyboard.

whats also funny too....at rifles III a few days ago on valcyn (my master architect is gonna be mastering Rifleman) i was hitting 1-1.5k every 5 seconds..at RIFLES III and doing more AP than i ever do at master commando
alone..that outdamaged me by alot when i was a novice commando...who also had master marksman and unarmed IV to his name....thats 92 skill points
and guess how many skill points it takes to master an elite proffession? 92 skill points
thus...dont you THINK we should be doing higher damage than most elite profs @ flame 1..which is 97 skill points? (higher than a mastered elite prof)
However, it may seem like it..but just wait..we arent powerful..yet we start off like we already mastered an elite prof...well thats because we're an hybrid...and as a result of that, that means we *should* be more powerful even at half way thru the tree...but hell..it doesnt work out like that..and you shall see

as a master of several melee elites before taking up commando yesterday and getting to flame 1, I can tell you that the 5k hit is cool to see but there is no way the dps compares to what I was doing as a swordsman, tka or fencer. Don't know about pike because I haven't suffered that fate yet but the delay with flamesingle1 is ridiculously long (I'm using a speed sliced flamer with a 3.6 speed). The first time I landed it was about a 4k hit but I thought my computer froze up because I wasn't shooting anymore. Then I noticed the critter was hitting me still multiple times. And then I took another shot. I'm a long way off from master commando but I have newfound respect for the prof.

LOL
That pretty much sums it up.
I pwn novice marksman, the occasional novice brawler, dancers and entertainers, weaponsmiths, and people that are afk.

I have a Pikeman as an alt charecter he is actually a pike/rifle, butis not at master level of eitherand i can tell u right now i can out damage my mastercommando any day of the week with either weapon pike or rifle. I would say that the pike is almost as inaccurate as the FT maybe more inaccurate havn't really tested that out yet but when you get hit by a long vibro axe you feel it. The only exception to this is on unarmoured no heat resists opponents in that case my FT will outdamg the pike, of course the problem is what has no armour and no heat resists thats worth killing?

speaking of rifleman...my TKM/Master Brawler/Master Fencer/4 Defense Pikeman/swordsman friend has told me the ONLY class that outdamages him isa Master Rifleman...and i noticed that a topic below this was "Rifleman and commando; mixed up?" hehe
