The death of Commando... sad, but true.
If you wanna know, Im dropping it for Master Pistoleer/Rogue/Master Entertainer/Musician 3040, doin that just for fun, and the fact that Pistoleer/Smuggler is going to be the most deadly in-game

I understand sliced weapons are considered contraban, but how does this nerf commando? I read something about FTs speed but I don't really understand. I haven't talked to any of the Commandos I know lately, so I am clueless.
Other than slicing is there anything getting nerfed with Commando in publish 6? I admire the few Commandos I know and have tossed around the idea of becoming one. Would you all advice this or recommend I find another line of work?

Does anyone know where he actually said this? I for one have never seen it myself.....can anyone really confirm or deny this statement?
And to answer your question, right now, as broken as it may be, Commando is fun. After this Thursday, well.... I'd wait until then to decide.

They are re-doing the whole combat system...to say Commando will be worthless is kind of silly considering no one really knows what the whole combat revamp will end up being acroos the board.

Well...
The new "secret" combat system..may be good..But all indications from the devs conserning the commando profession are not good.
We know nothing about the new "combat system" they keep telling us to wait for.
All we know, is that they are nerfing us..,aking us worse off than the pikeman. And we are allready in a bad state.

well i've always tought commando looked cool... i tried it out on TC2 and it was fun...
i've read the forums here and hear that most of it is gimped... but it still looks like a nice change... and ya'll got the best corrospondant around...
my current template is MRifle/MSmuggler/TK 4,4,0,4... i'm mainly PvEplayer and with FD and FoW nothing less that a dark jedi master really scares me...
i'm considering:
MRifle/MCommando (am worried that i won't use the commando part too often)...
MSmuggler/MCommando... commando would be the main combat prof here, but there is like 0 defences here...
TKM/MCommando... i see that this is a popular temp...
i just don't want to get to master and find that i'm not useing the prof... or find that i'm only gonna use on tree...
i guess i'm just looking do something different... i've never been interested in being a jedi (although some of the quests to get there sound fun)...
any advice would be appreciated... yes i've done the forum search, but with garvin droppin hints (which is so cool)... i might get a different responce...

commando is alot of fun to me,especially doing 10k+ dmg on a single hit on some enemies. personally i like to do part commando and someting else not fighting. comm/smuggler would be pretty cool, i liked slicing my own stuff and u would get the pistol enhancements for the launcher pistol as well. tka/comm is good,but again i like to have something different, i am currently 4044 comm and 1103 ch(ch is not really a fighting prof persay...but its alot of fun having cool creatures and having them tank to take dmg).but i cannot be a master of both unfortunately at the same time.u can try diff stuff to,if u dont like 1 combo try something else, hope this helps.
