Commando Archive

Hi commandos, I am currently 2/1/4/2 commando and also have some CH skills, i am trying to master commando.

Whenever I attack a gang of enemy, such as the Janta, i get killed. I have no trouble with widlife, such as pikets though.

WhenI attack the Janta (or whoever),I attempt to flame them using /Flame1 and /flame2 combo. However they just charge straight on at me...and next thing I know...i am in the familiar surroundings of the cloning station.

What am I doing wrong?

I know I am a noob, but please be tolerant and help me out.

Im on 2/2/4/1 and only encountered Janta by myself once, which didn't result in a visit clone centre 'cos for whatever reason he just couldnt hit me, I single2 and cone1'd him and he was down.

Just gotta have the luck a guess

jantas hit like a cement mixer, no way around it. you can try popping a burn on them and then unequipping your flamethrower. this will result in you not getting the extra damage for wielding a commando weapon. if you have TKA skills you will be in even better shape. tka/commando is a great combo if you want to toughen up.

you get rediculous melee and ranged defense and both melee and ranged mitigation.

woot

Err they took out the extra damage you get for weilding a commando weapon this last publish...

My best guess as to how to do it? Send in the pet as a distraction, /Flamecone1, then hop on a speeder and get out of dodge while they burn. Alternatively you could pick up Feign Death and use that.

Keep getting aggro'd by these guys now, and they go down like a sack of ................... well you know. Few single2's buts them on their backs no problems.

Well. Being 2020 Commando and err Master Pistoleer. Full Doc buffs, Moun gold, 70+ Ubese I can take anywhere from 5-6 Janta at once as long as they dont Action bleed me for over 1000+.Pop off 2x Intimidate, a double healthshot and a Flame Single1 on each to get the fire started. By the time I finish that on the last one the first one is almost dead, switch to Launcher and Fan shot the lot of them.

burst run,

flame them

run away while burst run lasts.

those janta and other like them (kunga) hit like a friken train. ive seen players with 2 master melee classes and 80% kinetic composite get dropped in 2 hits by those things.

with my full suit of 80% kinetic comp..nothing can touch me(barely) on dantooine....

Just a newly ordained commando here, never hunted Janta, but here's my general idea for tactics on harder targets..

1.)Get as close as possible outside their range.

2.)Crawl into range (64m)

3.)Using a pistol apply a HealthShot1 (and 2 if you have it) to start a good bleed.

4.) High tail it out of there, but no farther than 130m away. (sometimes they will warp right to you if you are beyond 130m when the bleed kicks in)

5.)The bleed will draw 1 at a time (hopefully)...wait for it to get in range, then send in pet to distract

6.)After target is distracted by pet, run in to Flame range and apply Flame Dot(s)

7.) Back out if initial flame damage did not kill..(cause it probably made them very unhappy with you)

8.)Carefully kite if need be, don't forget pet is still dishing damage while target is chasing you.

9.)Loot

10.)Rinse, repeat.

P.S. Buffs and armor help too if you won't be spamming specials.
