Commando Archive

Well AoEs are nice for when you use a KD or Root attack as most everything within the AoE will be Rooted or KD.

However all Commando Weapons with an AoE only do Elemental Damage as I know. So you'll only slightly damage your other Targets. On average it's like 50 HP, which in most situations isn't good for anything. Then everything you Root or KD will probably be ticked off and attack you, thus killing you.

Your right about the FT and PFT, and while it is nice, and often stops health regeneration on most things quite a bit, it doesn't stick to often, but it's nice. I don't think the RL has an AoE if it does it's very tiny. The KD is nice but un-common. I don't think it gives you Rage though. I actually have no idea what triggers Rage actually.

I don't use the Acid Streamer Launcher, cause it has a terrible AoE from what I know and have seen. But like the Acid Rifle the Blind is nice and actually is pretty easy to get. But then you often Blind yourself, if your too close.

Starnick?

Anyone?

I don't know if we really have anything with a better spread then the FT/PFT. All the radius weapons are the same radius (wild guess-I haven't actually experimented). Best coverage would probably be the Flame-thrower since it has a long range cone. If someone has another point of view, I'd defer to their judgement.

Thanks for the replies...

We're mainly testing for PvP effects, and using the Commando AoE to deliver states on players.

I have never gotten "Rage" in PvP before... until we were doing this particular testing. I didn't get it from the Plasma, Acid, or Beam. However, when we moved to Rocket Launcher, everyone in the blast AoE got Rage. It was the first time I'd ever even seen the icon.

Still looking for which Commando weapon has the widest spread, in terms of being able to hit a lot fo spread out players in GCW PvP.

Something with a wide cone... signs point to Acid Launcher. But, is that correct?

It seems pretty much all the AoE weapons have the cone of 25 meters, but the ASL does have the longest reaching max range.
