Commando Archive

I have been using some of the HPBC, HLBC, and Rl in PVP. Now the RL seems to be the most damaging by far, but way to exsensive. The HPBC and HLBC are the same price. I like the HPBC more I think. I have been noticing however, that I can hit most people at least 50% of the times and one shot kill them. Other people I cannot seem to hit in 100 shots.

1; What do you think the best Heavy Weapon in PVP is against PC's???

2; Can youEVEN use them against the new Defense Templates? IE Rifle/TKA/Fence?

Will I ever hit? OR do all have to become cookie cutters??????

Single target? HPBC. Reason? More cost effective, both do heavy AP, neither do stun.

Multiple targets in a tight space, but only one agro? HPBC. Reason: If they aren't attacking you, AoE attacks that pack just damage within won't hurt them. Better off with the beam here until SoE fixes the AoE bugs.

Multiple agro targets in a tight space? HRL. Reason: Bigger blast radius.

Unlikely, but I won't say impossible. While I've only had one Commando ever use an HPBC on me in PvP (not even an hour ago no less and he missed each shot due to high ranged defense), I've seen weird behavior out of the HRL. Particularly when more thanone target is in the radius.

So then you would agree, against a high defense template, Heavy weapons are basicly usless... My only REAL RELIABLE chance is to go master rifle....As nothing else seems to have a high enough attack.

Whats HPBC?

Heavy Partical Beam Cannon

Heavy Particle Beam Cannon

Commondos are to assist not solo so in group PvP we can contribute one on one we are gonna lose we are ment for NPC and objects that can be destroyed not for PvP goto TKA if you want that

I use them for my ranged attacks until I finish up my smuggler line. BAM 1 hit incap.

That talk about we are support Pvp is bs. Ok, no state defenses, so? Bounty Hunters dont get em either. U pop off a flame or two, nail em with the launcher pistol, ur gonna see some damage done, i guarantee. I dont know what you guys are doing, but when i was just master commando, i was destroying people, now im Master Commando, 0 0 4 0 Smuggler, and 4 0 4 0 pistoleer, medic 2 2 1 0, and i havent died in pvp in like 2 weeks. Panic/lowblow, burn, HPBC, and if they arent going to the clone center, they are darn close.

Depends how ya play it. I aint a commando *yet* but will be as soon as i finish marksman with my new character. When i was a bh with jamfe (0/2/1/2) i found 50% of commandos would die quick, an the other lot would kill me. Though almost all commandos i fought were usin flamers, an most said that apart from the flamers the rest sucked, ill see fer myself.

i am more of a PVE guy, not into that PVP stuff unless provoked. i do alot of supporting for my troops when defending our bases.
