we really need a master commando shot, that has a long warm up cool down but hits for over 10k, just so we can kill turrets and such, like everyone else is saying.

Rooting is a general term that renders your opponant either not able to move, or reduces their ability to move. Basically it lets you run around them while they stay put.

Good examples of rooting attacks are Stopping Shot and Improved Stopped Shot from Pistoleer. If you're close enough to your target, you will see a (lame - like all of the new particle effects except for the fire dot) animation and someting that says +ROOTED+. That means they won't be able to move, or at least won't be able to move much until the condition wears off.

Alrighty... I FINALLY got in some PvP where the Imperials weren't toting around AT-STs. All I can say is that Commandos ROCK in PvP now, or at least my combo does. Even had one of the Imperials wanting to duel me afterwards to see if I was that uber without support (I won, and was only using the LBC and not the PFT or Proton Rifle).

Seriously, though, I felt like I was transported back to late 2003 before the flame dot nerf but after low-grade armor came out (which prevented flamethrowers from being 1-hit kills). That was the time period when I had the most fun playing, period. Constant raids between Anchorhead and Bestine, all sorts of different profession combos (you never knew what you were going to face), and you'd even see Imperials in factional armor. It was just SWEET. And looks like it will be again.

I dueled Mich'ael last night twice. First time, I had my faction pet out and he somehow decided it would be a good idea to run over and start attacking... so I kinda won that one.

Second duel, I stored my pet, popped a pixie, and started shooting. We both were kding each other and then getting back up, until I got stuck. I eventually un-equipped my lightning beam cannon, and managed to get up, but he had had me down for at least 30 seconds. Weird thing was, I didn't take that much damage, and I was able to stand right up, kd him, and spam legshot until he was incapped.

Mich'ael beat me so badly last time with a kd, and now I can beat him twice (with an accidental slight amount of help that probably took all of 100-200 of his health) in a row.

I believe I have effectively discovered the fotm.

ive tried commando/rifleman. gives great damage and if you have the chance to use sniper shot with a rocket launcher its pretty deadly. headshot with flamethrower isnt to bad either.

i don't see how you guys are winning duels and such using commando weapons...i spent about 5 straight hours fooling with templates and ueling, must have dueled close to 100 times and kd recovery never worked once for me when i had a commando weaponout. if i got kd'd, i was done.

on the other hand, i switched to mpistols/mbh/commando 4000 and lost twice in about 30 duels, both times to CM's. this template was really incredibly, you can apply every state effect, kd, root, bleed, and on top of it, switch off between fan shot and advanced critical. with my republic blaster (448modified dps, i think)i was doing as much as 1k dmg with with these specials. also, defenses are 230 melee and 210 rangedwith +50 pistol defense.most duels i never even got touched.

i'm looking forward to the recovery bug fix, so i can go back to trying out commando as more than a defense bonus. my live character on lowca has been mcommando for like eight months and i'm not looking to change that.

Won mine by switching to a Scatter, using KD Recovery, then switching back to the LBC, Flamethrower, or Proton Rifle.

Ok, now how would these different mixes work against a jedi. I want to go BH and either some or all of commando. What would be the best mix. If I could do sniper shot with a rocket launcher against a jedi how much damage could I expect that to do. I was thinking master TKA/master commando and the rest BH. Any ideas?

I did alot of testing on this, namely with getting past the inherent defenses of TKMs and keeping mine up despite the bombardment of CM poisons. I canhappily say that I have won at the very least 90% of my duels, and I came out part of the winning team in a faction battle for a base by shooting more for specials that work rather than the 'uber defense' that some people cant seem to get away from. (Too used to composite I guess) With Jedi I am sure it'll be no different. The specials make the commando.

Unfortunately, I have found that my rifles do substantially more damage than my PT, RL, and LP using other profs attacks. Namely sniper shot with a sliced T21 being my power hitter. It just doesnt work that easily with commando. I tried dropping commando (yes I'm a bad person) and grabbed MRifleman, MCarbiner, and BH 4-0-4-0. As of yet I am unbeaten in PvP with this template, even against the almighty swordsman and their PH's of doom.

Difference is this: the commando was all about Grenade KD, and landing so many DOTs that they couldnt recover. Should the KD fail, kiting would be your only real defense and some specials dont allow that. The Rifle/Carbine combo was almost always a gauranteed KD. If charge shot didnt work, underhand shot would. And while they're down, hit em with Knee shot, Leg shot, and Cripple shot so coming after you is a huge pain in the ass if they ever get up. This is very effective against commandos who never switch from the FT cause the E11mk2 and T21 have more range. And I two-shot incapped a commando with my T-21 using underhand shot, then snipershot. He landed a DOT on me, but it didnt last, he was already dead. Jedi will fall the same way now that saber block is reduced, and since I insist on killing the glow-stick whores, I may have to relenquish my Master Commando title on live.
