Commando Archive

I finally got a chance to use my Flamethrower against someone.

A bounty hunter in chitin armor was standing at the mission terminals and inquired about my flamethrower. I told him it was pretty broken (but I wasn't aware how broken at the time). He said that he had never seen one in action and offered to be a target.

The duel started, right there in front of the mission terminals, I am kneeling at 32m, BH is standing stone still:

miss, miss, miss, 46, miss, miss, 123, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, 77, miss, 144, 52, miss, miss....(random HAM, of course)

Then he asked to see a special! I obliged him and hit him with the special, flame1. It did 22 initial damage and then the bleed hit him for 52, 35 and 32 and ended....before I got my next shot off. He kept yelling Fire! Fire! Fire! Frankly, I was amazed that I even hit him with it.

Thiscruel jokewent on for several minutes (mostly because I couldn't figure out how to end the duel) The BH was laughing his butt off, as was everyone who could see. The ground was shaking, there was smoke and flame, but the BH seemed to be regenerating health faster than I could do damage. It was truly a retarded moment and I wanted to go crawl under a rock.

I logged out in embarassment.

Gee, I guess Commandoes shouldn't be pissed about a 75% reduction in PvP damage, because 75% of basically 0 is 0. No change for commandoes.

Buzzy

This is disheartening.

I'm sorry to hear about your embarassment man. I am a bounty hunter, but I never like to see someone else being belittled by anyone. For what its worth, I hope your profession gets the adjustments it deserves and has deserved since beta. Hell, I ferverently hope the next time I meet a commando on the battlefield he kicks my ass with an acid rifle and leaves me screaming "Aaaargh! The goggles! They do NOTHING!!".

You have my sincerest sympathies and hopes that your profession will be fixed.

I think your little episode can only help the commando class. I'm sure everyone who saw that figh now has no questions whether or not the commando needs some love from SOE. I don't see what you have to be emmbarest about though, it's not like you where the reason you couldn't do anything to him.

I am starting to get the feeling that commandos won't get fixed until they add mounts to the game. I've heard that the commando will have special moves when riding a mount and useing the acid rifle/ flamethrower.
