Thread: Nerf Commando (really)
I'm the most hated commando but heck I have to put this in...
We are SEVERELY OVERPOWERED in combat PvP (us and BH's and CH's and CM's too). I am a commando. I am not proud to kill someone in one hit. Yes there are tactics that can help to avoid getting hit. Yes there is armor that you can wear to lower the resist. Yes there are buff's and spices to help.
BUT:
What do you do when everyone and I MEAN EVERYONE is wielding a flamethrower? The tactic about staying 16m away doesn't apply very well when there's aflamethrower 15m in every direction.
I can BARELY afford a crappy compositechest, legs, and helmut. So does that mean PvP is for the super rich and super hard core gamers? What about the not so hard core gamers who can't afford composite? Do they just not PvP?
Yes doctor buff's are good. Spices rock too. It'll let you stay alive long enough so that the Flamethrower special DoT's hit you one more time.
So stop the arguement and maybe agree that we need to be toned down a bit in and ONLY in PvP. Definitely don't tone us down with respect to PvE. We need these big numbers to help when in groups and against the bigger beasties.
Yeah I'm a disgrace - I don't PvP and my game is being ruined by PvP. Whatever...
Dude.. One of the great things about being a commando... if some dude is dabbling with a flamethrower, toting it like he's god, I dont have to get in a pi$$ing match with him. We both have the same weapon, its pure luck who wins... not worth it.
The joy of being a true commando is running away from the guy with a flamethrower, kneeling down, and blowing him to bits with a rocket 
Lets see them dabble that?
Of course next patch is supposed to make it harder to hit human sized targets with a rocket launcher... oh well, I'm a Master Commando hehe, I'll just run away from him throwin grenades hehe
As far as one shotting people? One shot is sometimes all I get.. if I miss this is what happens...
You are dizzy!
You are dizzy!
You fall over!!
(insert appropriate name of BH here) uses his Lightning cannon on you for xxxxx damage
You have been incapacitated
You were slain by (insert BH name again)
If there happens to be some a$$hole combat medic around, I'll get diseased in between the incap and the DB cause everyone thinks we're a bunch of griefers and they never want me to come out of the clone center again.
I love my profession as it stands right now, we are not uber gods... if I hit an empty lair for 30k damage, who cares? its empty, so I dont have to screw about trying to take down a lair that has 45k hit points, one pistol shot at a time.
I invested a helluva lot of time and effort getting to master, and now I am at a level where I can compete (not utterly annihilate, I said compete) with other players in PvP. Once they fix our bugs all will be good, and I'm still gonna wreck a bunch of people, why? Cause thats what a Master Commando is supposed to do in a war...

Can other professions hit for 35k on a dead lair? no. not even half, not even a quarter. and it is to my understanding that eyeshot is being put to master bounty hunter. And then theres 8k damage with flame thrower. I Wouldnt mind all htis so much if the pre-requisists were more for commando. BH is powerfull for one reason, lack of skill points. Commandos can have several other thigns incorporated with it just because it doesnt take that many skill points. You guys are trying to defend your profession, thats understandable. but what if they did this to another profession? you guys KNOW you would be screaming nerf
Post a Screenshot with 35000 dmg to a lair. PLEASE. i have been trying for days now and I just cant hit for that. If you actually post one Ill give you 100 dollars. Dollars, not credits.
Looks like one of your fellow commando claims he did it and others came quite close =)
