Commando Archive

Vandar is absolutely correct. If you disagree I'd like to see how long you last in pvp of pve using pmd2 and multitarget. BS2 is better than BS3 'cause you need the speed of master for more dmg/sec using BS3.

WHY AM I EXPLAINING THIS?

ok heres my point

evrey profesion belive there broke becous they think they should be better

i think commando is broke becous its a highbyrd profesion and pistoler the sould be the lowest dam out put in game can mach and surpas the dam of a commando at what i am now 3/2/4/4 only using pistoler specialse

yes maby dissarms brok and that needs fixed yes but right now frankly i bet evrey ones happy no one can actuly dameg the wep( this attack would be mager grifing if you ask me )

bs3 i still dont get what your saying here i use it get 200+ dam over bs2and still1-2 sec shot (ben using it all day and i say it is better then bs2 in a long run becous some times i can hit for 1k dam were bs2 is 600 max that ive seen)

pmd1 and pmd2 like i sed use them togather and you can esly do 3k+ dam verey nice attack combo

multi shot well i dont have but i wached a master use it and he sed he likes it alot expecely in pvp (they have to be targeting you for it to shot at them )

frankly all around pistoler is a good **saport** profesion yes it could use a few fixes tho but heck i dont see why you all complain as much as you do and im saying this from a pistoler stand point

if i didnt suck then why does everything manage to outkill me and kick my ass in pvp?

becous you suck your equiment sucks and your play style sucks lol j/k

but truly tho get a krayt poistol and some comp armor and bufs and some moun gold flisken drink and you will see a big difrenc

its all in your play style with out good equipment any profesion is crap lets say im a master bh but im spaming eye shot with a cdf pistol how good do you think ill do lol or im a master tk with looted junk vibs ithere way im bond to loose and if you ever noticed the ones that own in pvp are the ones with the best equipment why just yester day i foght a master pistoler for fun becous he whanted to show me the dam his pistol could do he incaped me in one shot with a fan shot and a krayt prenerf swgf5 that had some asome stats

I agree that pistoleer is a good profession, but only with other professions specials.

Its the bonuses that make Pistoleer worth havin IMO.

I'm doing unarmed 4 at the moment for smuggler (and why you need it for a mainly pistol using profession is beyond me), cos i know unfortunatly i need the skills from there to be any good.

But when this new combat update comes out, hopefully we can get some good and working specials *crosses fingers and prays*

I was out quenker hunting last night, and my damage seemed to be lower as well. However, I still killed them before they got to me using Conceal Shot. Have you thought about using that instead of Head Shot? The improved quenker is going to charge you almost immediately if you use Head Shot, and bring his buddy. But with Conceal Shot they just hop around wondering who the heck is shooting them.

Anyway, worked for me, and might be worth a try. By the way, when they get in my face I just keep blasting them with my T21 until they're dead. They don't touch me if I'm buffed and wearing armor. Just takes a little longer. I could pull out my sword, but I'm not giving up the rifle xp

Yeah, conceal shot is an option but with random pool damage, and the fact that my rifle doesent hit forsh*t now, it takes forever for me to kill anything with decent ham...i shot something last night 3 times with head shot 2, he ran up on me so i tried finishing him off witha couple more head shots up close...by the time he was dead..(a roba) my mind bar was completely drained and thats with brandy & canape!! ridiculous...

I haven't noticed a problem.

There is another thread running here about quenkers. Looks like they worked out it was being used to farm xp so they upped the HAM and resists.

incidentally, how did you get a disruptor with max damage 600+?

kauri weaponsmiths rock, and they best they do is 370 or so. After a great damage slice (I went 0 for 4 last night, shooting half a mill in the process) you could hit 500.

was that figure powered up? krayted?

601 witha good damage slice and a 32.5% powerup....sorry for the confusion...

An yway, its not just the quenkers though...I mean, roba's on Endor for instance have zero resists to acid...and i still couldnt hit for over 2K...doesent this seem odd or no? Have i just been spoiled by my PowerHammer hitting for 4500+ or what? Btw, so i have some motivation, what are all you Masters hitting for with specials?? If i cant hit for alot of damage now, thats one thing cuz Im not all that high on the tree anyway, but I want to be sure at Master I'll be reeking havoc so I can be sure the grind is worth it...

Thanks for the help,

I just re-activated my account this month after a 6 month hiatus. I cancelled it in January when I was frustrated with how broken and boring commando was (while being unable to give it up). Now that I'm back to see what has changed in the interim, I'm finding that the one thing we had going for us back then (a killer flame DOT) has been nerfed back to the stone age. And I'm also finding that the list of complaints from commandos is EXACTLY the same as it was back then (talk about beating a dead horse! ...though I guess it makes sense, since it's the only thing we CAN beat).

Here's what blows me away:

1) From the looks of the stickies and other posts in this forum, TH (often via Garvin, who's doing a great job) keeps asking for input on how to make commando better. WHAT??? How can the devs _possibly_ not already know??? This forum is filled with over 6 months of THE EXACT SAME suggestions and complaints about our profession!

2) How is it that pistoleer, a respectable profession already with several respectable, functional weapons warrants 3 new, kick-a** guns (DE-10, geo blaster, modified republic blaster) in that time, yet commandos have seen squat???

That said, I just want to make a quick, pointless, sure-to-be-ignored suggestion that I haven't seen before for improving commandos in PvP: make the flamethrower (or heck, even all commando weapons) inflict 100% of its damage as wounds. We may still die faster than chefs, but we'll have fun messing some fools up for a change.

Ok, back to hunting meatlumps until JTL hits...

Give me AP 2 and +30 speed to all commando weapons and I'll be one happy SOB.
