Commando Archive

I am thinking of going commando.

Is any of the other weapons besides FT any good?

Is the Lightning Cannon any good?

P.S. I love the FT

granades are really good =p

Lightning Cannon is bh so ya may wanna go ask there. They're mainly good against things weak against electricity from what I understand. But the flamethrower is pretty much the only good weapon. Heavy acid rifle is practically useless because even if a creature has high fire resist and low acid resist you still may as well use the flamethrower because it has a dot. The launcher pistol can be useful at times, it has blast damage so thats nice. You can get a spider fang one that does some pretty good damage too.

Yeah, I saw a cert in x3xx of commando that was a lightning gun of some kind, not the llc from BH. I was just curious what it was and if it is any good? It was a heavy lightning gun of some kind.

Just found this...

The

Lightning Beam Cannon (Commando: Heavy Support Weapons III)

• 1196-2687 Damage; 6.5 Speed; 40-88-23 HAM; AP: Light; Electricity Damage
  
• 29 Charges

This is taken from another post, just want to know if anyone has used it. I have never seen one and was thinking of making a all lightning based weapon BH or Commando

Yea its consumable, though and I would only use it in very special situations, since you will only get 29 shots, and they tend to be pricey.

Though that weapon isn't particularly useful since I can do almost 6k damage with my 3.7 429-829 flamethrower with just Flamethrower Specialization I using Flame Single 1. And I'm pretty certain flamethrowers are more powerful altogether than LLCs. BH gets pistol and carbine tapes and attacks though, so if you want to dabble in more than heavy weapons, BH would be better.

EDIT: Forgot to add, flamethrowers have a stackable DOT, LLCs don't. Neither do the HARs for that matter.

Yeah, all of the heavy support weapons are consumable meaning you only have a limited number of shots with them. The only one that is really worth anything is the rocket launcher and they are quite rare to find and pricey due to the difficulty of making them.

The only electric weapon we have is consumable and its only fun to show off but not usually very practical otherwise. In a large PvP battle if you stay outside and no one knows where u are u could use a Grenade Launcher fairly well however its very slow and for some reason it can be dodged so yer lucky if u actually hit everyone like your supposed to. So technically as of now the FT is the only practical weapon unless your brave, have a lot of time on yer hands, and have alot of credits. However after the CU this is supposed to change so we'll see how that goes.

Thanks for the info everyone, that is why I posted here.

Just thought I'd add that the launcher pistol, if you have a well built one, is very effective when used with another prof's pistol specials. I have one I recently had crafted from an incredible gorax bone... pups to over 600 max dmg with 2.1 speed, though the min is in the lower 100's pupd.. Even with the low min, I'm pretty sure that most of my hits are in the high end range. Nothing is more fun that using the smuggler's panic shot to stop, then thelowblow special to shoot miniature missiles at your enemy's crotch! Haha! The bounty hunter specials are also especially effective with a good launcher. Eyeshot in particular will flat burn through the mind pool like nothing else I've tried, especially if pistol whip or low blows lands.... Oh, and feign death, while widely considered chickens**t in pvp, is pretty useful when laying on your flamethrower burns solo in pve with the larger, high HAM enemies... I did this with a gorax when my party's buffs ran out... Lay on a few burns, feign death, kick back and watch him burn to death. It took me quite a while to get just the combination I was after, but I finally got there. You'll obviously notice my lack of any medical skills, which was intentional. I simply chose to roleplay a pure combat machine, designed to dump as much damage upon my enemies as possible... leave the healing to others in the group!

My template:

Master Commando (for life... I refuse to ever give this one up!)

Bounty Hunter 0040 (bleeding shot, eye shot, torso shot... because you can never have enough burns!)

Smuggler 0040 (feign death, panic shot, last ditch)

Pistoleer 0001 (for pistolwhip... mostly because I just love the animation, and it gives me a second kd option!)
