well I cant really say I agree with this entirely. While it's not as easy to cruise through a janta camp in 4 or 5 minutes it's still completely possible to knock off camps without dying.
I was amazed at how much damage they were putting on me and that I actually had to use a stim a few times and even feign death once to prevent what would have been my only incap of the night,butI still was able to farm a good chunk of change. I didn't use any droid or pet tanks and found out the hard way that I have to start putting my speeder away again before initiating battle.
I just kited the whole group back and forth with FC2 like I always do and it still worked for me, provided I had my 2 nips of brandy every 40 minutes. And I could have fixed that with a mind buff. However the 500 or so BF for an evening is a bit rediculous. Not to mention the pounding my armor took.
Do you believe one of those loincloth wearing freaks tried using a stone knife on me? I mean cmondont you see this metal armor and the concentrated stream of fire coming at you. What an insult.
Also mokks are still as suceptable to heat as they were before so they still go down in a few minutes, they just give me more BF then before.

What kills me if they nerf Rifleman too then there will be no good ranged professions in this game, Commandos,Pistoleers,Carbineers,Riflemen.Bounty Huntersall worthless.
Pretty soon this game will be nothing but Melee and Jedi for combat, and this is in a Star Wars game, I have played many Star Wars games over the years and guys using swords and axes were never a part of it, I don't think SOE gets this is not a Fantasy role playing game, Star Wars was always about blasters not antique weapons, no more than if you see guys with rocket launchers taking down dragons in a fantasy rpg, just doesn't mesh.
Commado's the elite of the ranged professions should be the profession to beat, Melee should be hurting bad or deadby the time they get within striking distance ofus, not dodging them run up knock us on our butt and then kill us without even getting a scratch. I see Star Wars games coming up like Battlefronts, seen the trailer for it, where is the Master Swordsman,Master Fencer? There aren't any. The game says it's about immersion in Star wars, where? I never ran around with a battle axe when I played Star Wars as a kid, I always had a gun pretending it was a blaster.
Sorry for the little rant, just hate to see the core of Star Wars, ranged professions become extinct and all we see running around is guys with swords,axes and hammers, just takes away from the very feel of Star Wars, least for me.

Nuke I got to agree with you.. I gave Up Commando and went Master Swordmen, Master Brawler /Fencer/Tka. While using this template I was taking out AT-STs like they were not even there. I was able to run down and Take the Acklays head with little to no trouble. Which I though was going a little far.
But, now I am going back to Commando Cause, I want to figure out a way to kill my Targets.
Right, Now I am doing Testing on Grenades seeing what I can do with them..

I remember fighting as a Commando back the first time NPCs were like this. When Nightsisters hit me with swords and force powers. My template for killing them was Commando/TKM. Whiners

Okies....I hate the nerf as much as the rest of ya'll, God knows if we get any more nerfs we'll end up just being something talked about to grandkids...
"Grandpa, what's a Commando?"
"Well son, they used to be the Warriors of Combat, the men and women who could easily defeat their enemies and go back for more!"
"Well Grandpa, why don't we see them anymore?"
"Son, they were exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy after the wonderful governments kept nerfing their weapons, armor, and skills in the name of 'Saving Money and Creating Balance'"
"Why would they need to be balanced?"
"Well I received 24 Medals of Honor in one month of 'The War' and the other men and women in the army were complaining that they weren't getting the hazard pay, the medals, and the recognition in the media, so to balance the 'exposure' and to save money on research they cheapened the Commando's weapons and tactics until eventually they were just 'Security Guards' in hospitals on the far planets"
OK, enough with the RPing.....
I have found a template that will work for me and this Janta, Mokk stuff....and the "Further Nurf"
I am a Master Commando/Master Smuggler...I had novice pistoleer just for grins and giggles....I picked up Pistol Stances 1-3....now i'm maxed out on points....
Granted my defenses lack something to be worthwhile so by now with the pistol defenses to Melee I went and dropped all my armor and picked up 1 Composite Chestplate with 87% Kinetic and some stun, 1 Composite Helmet with 87% Kinetic and some stun, and 1 Composite Boots with 87% Kinetic...(If you have TKM also get some kinetic gloves), I also have a PSG with some healthy defenses, I also have a shirt with Melee Defense Modifiers and Def vs Stun, and also have pants with Melee and Def vs Stun.....
I get buffed and I can take on 5 Jantas or 5 Mokks and not worry about anything but my brandy wearing off....if all else fails and I see the end comming I feign death and watch em burn while my stats regen....if you have smuggler and feign death i hope your bike's stored....they love to eat bikes!.....
Hope this helps anyone who has a similar template as mine.....I have noticed it's harder as a smuggler to get the 44k missions out of em and the loots are suckin....but anywho....lemme know what it does for you....

all my attachmens that gave me accuracy while moving are worthless now that there are no mods for them right?

it is possible they are helping - many mods are now hidden and accuracy while moving could be one of them.
Until I hear otherwise from a dev I would most definitely keep them.
