"You can't be serious can you? A guildy was holo grinding Commando so I gave him my (only) flamethrower and launcher pistol as I was working tka at the time. It came back in a bit of a state I must say, so I went out to buy another one. That was 3.8s, the unsliced one that I bought was 4.6s. I eventually got it sliced down to 3.3s and to cut a short story shorter there is a massive difference in special delay between 4.6 and 3.3 seconds. I even noticed a difference between 3.8 and 4.6 seconds. Our overall speed is slower, so the percentage of a slice takes off more. Sure there are slow weapons in other professions but they're not reliant on that one weapon. I think it's naive to say this doesn't affect us any more than any other elite profession. Yes they get slices, but that's a luxury for us it's a necessity."

I'm completely serious, I've had every single weapon that I've ever used sliced, and I'd imagine that the first thing someone does when they geta new gun is to get it sliced, to improve its efficeny in one way or another. Honestly, who doesn't get their weapons sliced? My current side-profession is pistoleer, and you can count on the fact that every single pistol I use is sliced. Heck, you can count on the fact that all of my armor is sliced as well, otherwise it's almost impossible to wear a full suitofcomposite unbuffed.

The fact is, there is a very small number of people who don't slice their weapons. Why? Because ifsomeone can potentiallyget a 30% boost to its efficency, they're going to go for it.

This issue has nothing to do witht the crack-down, it's about our weapon speeds and efficienciesin general, which nothing more really needs to be said on the topic, as everyone knows how borked our weapon trees are currently.

I'm not talking about efficiency ina broad sense, I'm talking speed, yes a damage slice is nice on a weapon but it's a luxury whereas we pretty much needa sliceon a flamethrower. How many other professions have to get a speed slice? Our weapon speed and efficiencies are about right, all I'm saying is this hits us disproportionately to say a pistoleer. Talking solely speed slicing the pistoleer has to go without fine, not ideal but ok, we have to go without and it's gonna be felt. We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this matter

And you'll find that no one is whining. we arent going "Waaah we are broken! We need to be the uberestest now!" We are merely laying out what is wrong with our proffesion. No one can deny we have one of the most nerfed,ignored,and borken proffesions in the game. We are laying out our isssues in a proffesional manner. If you wish to see unconstructive whining...I reccomend you go to the Bounty hunter. As of 2 months ago, it was a TERRIBLE whining place to be. Ive seen nothing but proffesionalism here.

Hmm, guess you're not reading the sameforum as me... Take a look at this thread. Look for the reply of DVAS.

My first reply was for him (and only him but I was replied by someone else)and I took the time to include his quote.

Just read your signature (The Devs have Pikeman to ignore, and Commando to hate). I know that maybe you're not taking it that seriously and it's onlya way of saying that something ain't right with commando but I'm sure it's a good way to get ignored too.

As I'm writing this I see you're and ETU member. Well, I hope we'll have the chance to fight side by side, like two proud commandos.
