PVE king goes to Master Swordsman. And it always will. Awsome damage, good specials, great area attacks that actually work.

so you think a swordsmen would outkill a rifleman ? maybe if he was a dumb rifleman and the swordsmen had a legendary hammer. Other then that, no

good in PvE...frankly, unless grouped we're not..UNLESS we take up another prof that has a counter...with just +41 out of the +91 defense acuity im gonna have lvled soon in TKA..i am finding a HUGE DIFFERENCE in PvE combat...i mean a total 360 degree round-a-bout...just being an MC doesnt cut it in PvE..as most of the time we get hit, and without buffs and good armor..will die rather quickly before we can get the high damage off...and again..that is the single most thing, more than spd/accuracy that i would wish devs would give us..a counter...we need it

Simple, your a new who does not play pvp. Please do not post unless you have knowledge. Its people like you that got us nerfed in the first place.

What a rude and dumb thing to say.... yet the n00bs got us nerfed. Santa also made the sky blue *grrrrrr*

I've changed my mind.

Last night I went to the Geo Lab. At the entrance were a tkm and a master swordsman. They were quite literally killing geonosians before I could even tab to them. The swordsman was doing 3 attacks/second for 3k damage each, the tkm 4 attacks/second for 1k each, and they both had creature tanks as well. No sooner would one of them spawn and it'd be dead. All I wanted to do was get one to chase me outside so I could use my acid stream launcher and glop grenades on it. (Acid vuln.) No go. I'd see one spawn, tab to it, hit f12 (attack command) and I would maybe get one shot in. But usually it was dead almost as soon as I noticed it.

hey Xeno, the Geo Cave is bugged or something cuz I went there buffed and there were tons of Geos, and I was Spamming Fan Shot and killing them in 2-3 hits. I wasn't using an uber scatter pistol either. In PvP i pwn commandos like crazy,Eye Shot and they lose, the little accuracy that they had has gone down the drain, then I just get out of range of their Specials and bust out llc, or lit them on fire w/ my pistol( torso shot)I win np. I would rather fight a Master Commando than a Master Gunfighter.

The corpse bug is why fanshot is so good there. I had the same thing happen to me.

Compared to jsut about any combat class Commandos are sub par in both PvP and PvE. With my TKA/Doc I can solo the Geonosian Labs from start to finish, i can clear out lairs of anraged rancors on a few minutes, hunt Nightsisters .. do just about anything solo short of a precious few creatures. As a commando, even if my pray is fire resistant i still do better with the TKA.. if my target is avargae fire resistant and light or better armor.. might as well stay at home.

For PvP we are restricted to melee range, have about the slowest attacks of any class, some of the worst defences and worst accuracy at the second highest skill cost (along withwith combat medics, follwoing BH's), and against a well prepared opponenet with buffs and armor.. well.. he'd have to be knocked down for an extended duration of time for us to even be able to kill him (see the post higher up for some numbers)

Still in spite of all the bad things, and problems with the class.. its still just plain fun to set stuff afire.. and when you do find a jucy low heat res target.. well yeah.. than being a commando is a lot of fun. Just don't enter the profession in its current state hopeing to be able to compete with most other classes

Saying commandos are PvE gods is a bit of an overstatement. I got killed super-fast soloing low-heat resistant Dantari the other day (in full composite), and they only have about 10k HAM. Anyone can solo a Krayt really, given enough time and the right complementing skills. I guarantee you though, that no pure commando would be able to solo one in a reasonable amount of time.
