Commando Archive

I am happy to see the result of this thread so far!!

Common Commandoes, show the love!!

just made Master Commando last night, and i would have to say it was very fun. burning every critter in sight, usually killing them before they even know i am there..

i too feel that we need more for our proffession, but a lot of it revolves around your type of play. for PVP, we blow dog. but i have found that for PVE, we totally rock. sneak up to the critter or NPC, kneel, aim and hit flamesingle2- usually equals dead target. i have noticed that even if all the other critters agro on me, my armor is able to absorb enuff of the punishment for me to flamesingle the next critter if needed. the 10 sec delay between specials doesnt seem that long to me, doesnt even seem like 10 secs.

yes it does suck thatone tree to get novice commando has nothing to add to the proffession (unarmed IV) and 3 of the 4 commando trees are broken or worthless, but hell even with just the flamethrower i am very happy... I just dont fight critters resistant to heat

I started out was a carbineer but didnt finish it cause it got boring and there wasnt anything new. With commando i get to blow stuff up. The flamerthrower does have some set back but i still love it. Even though i would never use the heavy weapons in a life ro death situation, i still love to use them on lairs and stuff, just to see it blow up. i really like to do it near town with people running who havent seen that stuff before. "wow that was cool, what was the that" is the usually reaction. i remember being like that to. I enjoy kicking ass.

I loved playing Commando...I still am 0/4/4/0 (but no longer carry any Commando issue weapons), and most likely will go back to Master very soon...But the more involved I got with my guild (city defense, base raids, etc), the more I realized that being a Commando was a hindrance to my fellow players that spent all their time healing/rezzing me. I felt like, in PvP, I was walking around as a novice marksman with a CDEF pistol.

I loved going out solo on some planet like Dath or Yavin buffed to the gills and armored out the yingyang, turning up the particle level detail and roasting everything in sight, or going ballastic with rocket launchers...Not to mention cranking the speakers with music turned off. There is no greater music to my ears than hearing the flamethrower on a flamesingle2. Good times for sure.

i was having fun till the bleed nerf today im gonna untrain it all(i was master then took 0-0-4-0 cuz well the flamethrower was the only good weapon to use)

gonna go tka at least then i have some usefull tree and good melee def

shame tho i really really liked commando

I love Commando! First time I saw this guy shooting flaming balls of death at the womp rat that was killing me, I knew I wanted to be one. I am the only commando in my guild and finally feel like I am contributing something, bringing in the big guns. Often times I am the last man standing. We don't get into PVP, but with the crackdown in place some nosy Stormtroopers might change that, lol.

I have been reading these forums for awhile now, and truly appreciate all the effort many of you have put into getting the devs to see what doesn't work with our professions. Reading JustG's post the other day was like light at the end of the tunnel.

I dream of the day when I can call myself Master. Burn Baby Burn!

I had two holocrons...my second was Commando, I can't even bring myself to drop it. My third holo was silent...yet I can't even ponder dropping this profession. It's basically broken again, one good weapon...kill ourselves with grenades, lowest DPS in game, DoTs aren't good, no AP, miss out any heavy weapon without using /aim...

Yet...I can't even drop it to get my Jedi.

I love being a commando, it started when a guild friend was leaving and gave me his krayt slice Flamethrower and HAR (I use the HAR to tap lairs and peko Albos), I was a master marksman going for CH. Once I got the FT in my hands and started flaming thing and going up the FT ladderI fell in more and more love for it...Yes in PvP I suck Felda Carp whenI am alone, but with my guild mates there in a team fight I am the centeral core of the group. I go into those with out my tags, fully armored and laser rifle in hand. I lay back just alittle, the enemy go after our TK and Carbiners 1st, when BAM in slugs a Flamecone1 to the enemy players, I back up and hit with LP with Healthshot1 to bleed them while they burn. Most of the PvP groups we fight do not wear much if any armor. Also the awe of my Guild mates as I go up to a very large Critter and flamesingle2 and drop it 1 to2 shots, and they say I want one of those guns. Yes we as a profession are hurting, butI say not because of the ppl we try to do what we can with what we have. I use my Creatures to help also, I will give up CH once I master it....2 boxes away. Also for those that think we got nerfed back try reading the CH forum or some others. I read not in the same words but in meaning some of the things said here. And most of them still think we are UBER.......
