Commando Archive

to the ppl saying the ft needs nerfing....

it's a bug. try it out on a standard mob....the dmg is completely in line with skill pts used/downtime/etc.

Plan on seeing other professions linking to these threads and saying "see, even the commandos think it does too much dmg". We need to educate them that it's a BUG. Just fix both the LLC, FT and HAR to do ranged dmg and the problem is SOLVED.

I am 10000 combat xp away from commando novice. I have been working at forever it seems. The unarmed xp was horrible since I was nerver able to use a vibro nuckler.

It's realy ridiculous actually. I have the same skill level in polearm. I can switch to a vibro axe, use polearm hit 1 and hit for up to 1300 damage. Most I have ever seen unarmed was 240. Ah well, at least I got it done.

Now the combat xp is dragging. I'm halfway to carbineer, rifleman, and almost a pistoleer already, not to mention 1/10 of the way to teras kai.

sigh.

Hopefully this weekend I will finally make novice commando, finally.

Not too many on Corbantis. One really stands out though, a nimz002 who posted on this forum titled "nerf commandos". Now hes on our server board asking for someone to make him a launcher pistol. Gosh I'm so ashamed 9-(

Well my character is on Nartilus. I was one of the few before the patch, and was the only one I had seen on Correllia, and appearently the only one most of the entertainers had seen as well. People would ask me about how it was broken and stuff. I knew it was broken, but with the new flame thrower I was hitting for more damage than I had ever had, so I was oblivious to the brokenness of our class. Then the patch hit, 2 of the members in the Guild I was in were Commando's. We were the few that I had seen. Now I am starting to see more and more commando's, but I have seen only less than 10 commando's on Nartilus. I don't know if they are hiding or what, but on my server there are not many commando's. Also about the Master Marksman thing, that most run around with above their head, I ask them what they are going for, and about 9 out of 10 of them say that they are going for BH. So on my server the band wagon is BH.

Not sure I qualify for Bandwagon jumping.

I have always had the unarmed combat and assorted marksmen skill. However, I tried to be a DE at first to see what it was like. Several days back I went from 2,3,0,4 in de.. To no artisan skills at all. Yes I droped it after the Patch when they fixed perma death for droids. It didn't mater I already had the bad taste in my mouth from trying to start a buisness and keeping it up. Yuk.

I spent more time doing missions to keep up with expenses only to realize I much rather X a few NPC/PC then grind the evening away.

So, I droped artisan and used all the skill pionts I had collected in marksman to become master. Now all I need is the combat experince. Commando was my second choice from the begining would have been first choice had I had more points to spend .. I just had to give DE a shot though I thought it would be cool. Boy was I mistaken. So, no I didn't go through all the misery and the hair pulling in Commando but hehe I am very bald for trying to bea DE. Let the hair grow ..

There will always be those that are jealous and want what others have. Its not always greener on the other side of the road. Sure, as a commando you can lay down the hurt, but **edit** if you miss you can easily be toast due to many reasons. Resists, Delay and frankly a decision to bop them upside the head with a Vibro knuckls are try and torch them again with the potential to miss again. HEHE.

Hmm Question!

Are these guys jumping on the BH boards calling for a nerf to the Light Lightening canon as well. It does some **edit** nice damage as well. Just currious.. I mean I see my buddy go and he either can zap em or be killed just the same with any other weapon.

Folks just have to learn a defense against Commandos. I would think distance and snippers would do the trick quite nicely. Maybe there is a lack of some dedicated Rifleman? What about the Pistal Stop Shot? There are many other classes that have the ability to decimate their opponent in one maybe two shoots.

Well if they do anything crazy like reverse it back to somewhat like it was before (Not knowing eactly what that is) Wouldn't it make it even that much harder for Rebels to take out AT-ST? Or anything else along those lines?

From what I've seen so far, I don't think the damage per second is overly outrageous. At this point I could output as much damage with a pistol and Last Ditch as I could with a flamethrower and Flame Single 1 (especially with the lack of accuracy of the flamethrower). People see these high damage hits and scream nerf. Never mind the huge delay that occurs on a miss.

As a Master Smuggler who just saw his best skills get wacked with the nerf bat AND broken, I would never cry nerf on another profession.

But OMG I see more BHs running around with their cannons more then ever before. Not that I have anything against that. I thought melee had it bad before with its dwindling numbers(with like 2 fencers in our galaxy), now its really bad! My weaponsmith friend has been selling LLCs left and right, more so then flamethrowers.

---

Heh...This sounds like me. After being tiered of being mostly harmless as a fencer, I decided I wanted a BFG that went BOOM!. My problem is that I am a Master Ranger, and I did not want to give that up, so I went to BH. (It isn't possible to be both a Master Ranger and Novice Commando) Traded in swords for a LLC.

Actauly this will sort of interesting way to slide over to Comando later on. When I give up Ranger, I just need to grind out Unamred, (after doing 1-H before there were any decent weapon smiths on my server this will not be too bad. Just a few sessions of kaadu farming ) By then I will more then have the spare 40k Combat XP and also have a good store of Heavy wepons XP to jump right in

Waa Waa I was the first commando on my server EVERYONE ELSE IS A BANDWAGONER!!!!!

you guys sound pathetic I bet there were plenty of people that wanted be commando (me included) but didn't want to play a broken class. Now that it's fixed (for the most part) it's an option. What you are getting novice medic? BANDWAGONER!!!

Master Smuggler here jumping on the Commando Bandwagon! Already got the prereqs. Just need to find the trainer.Dropping 2 whole lines in Pistoleer made it easy.

I have been a commando for about 4 weeks. I wanted to be able to use the launcher pistol. The graphics and explosions are just to cool. Now thatcommandos have been repaired to a certain degree I am putting more time into upping my commando skills. I love the new flamethrowers. Am I a bandwagoneer?

I just dont know. I dont really care either. Its kind of a dumb thing to call people. I mean are all people that just started the game and go commando bandwagoneers. I still see far more bounty hunters then either commandos or smugglers. By the way Commando and smuggler are a great match.

No offence, but I'm not a hardcore player. I've been casually building up to getting commando since the game was released. Because of a steady job/major in MMAS at UNCA I haven't had time to play hardcore all the time. So maybe the casual croud like myself isn't on the bandwagon we finally got the master marksman, and for the old school Eng 4. So not all the novice commando's you see are people jumping on the bandwaggon...
