Commando Archive

Thunderheart:

"its obvious to me, and everyone else who is being honest, that Commando is an over powered pvp profession and steps need to be taken to, among other things, reduce the damage tick to fire, reduce the wound speed, and adjust the accuracy of the master level special attacks."

Absolute favorite post. Remember why he "knew" this? Because he "played" a commando character on his server.

One wonders who he was attacking. Nubs in bone armor doing faction missions in AH?

Haha...one of the steps they've taken to reduce our blindingly awesome PvP capabilities was to leave us on backburner for 15 months....effectively making the sane commandos jump ship, therefore reducing commando's unbalanced overpoweredness...

Good thing Im a bit crazy

Seriously though.....yeah the wound dmg is a bit overpowered...but not the tick...why? Because of buffing....even if it goes thru armour, its too weak in PvP against a buffed opponent anyhow. Reducing this without actually fixing us and not to mention bringing buffs and other combat systems more in tune with each other would would do more harm to us than anything else...that tick is our only lifeline...

Reducing it would seem to go against Dev Philosophy not to mention...after all they've left other unbalanced issues go for a while

Prolly a year ago when TH was trying to quell the commando boards by saying he loves the profession and plays it as his main character on his server. A few months later he said that to the BH folks.

I think this was posted by TH shortly after he conducted his own little test to prove that commando's were overpowered....

He got buffed, and dueled an unbuffed Commando buddy...He won. Therefore, commandos were overpowered.

Oh yeah I remember that....he never said if either were buffed or unbuffed...just that he and another dev both became Master Commandos and both dueled each other with flamethrowers....and that was their test, saying we were overpowered in PvP therefore should be nerfed.

Hellooo? Theres like 15 other combat professions out there besides commando...not to mention, in that test a lot else was left to be desired....

LOL...I remember that post and I remember blasting TH for saying that post (it wasn't posted in our forum even but elsewhere that ALMOST slipped under our radar)...It was right before the devs reduced our DoT and added in the Fire Blanket...

But don't forget, it was JustG who came into our forumright after that and said "Commandos ARE broken" and went on further to say that the Combat Balance would have a huge focus on fixing our issue...It was the first time that a Dev acknowledged to us that we were broken...

BTW...I've played on TC with both a Commando JustG and Commando TH so I know they've both played Commando...and I still stick to the idea that the reason TH felt (at least back then) the way he did about Commando was because he hadn't put as much time into the profession as we had...he even admitted that the extent of his PvP experience using his Commando was against another Commando (not a great way to see where we fall short comparatively)...

Things have changed though...I've heard "Commandos are Broken" from the CU Programmers own mouths...I've heard what they'd like to do for us and what they'll be able to fit into the CU (if all goes well)...I've even heard some of their Post-CU plans for Commandos down the road...One Programmer especially said to me "Commando Grenades Suck!"...So I know they understand our pain...

LOL a snail's pace was about 6 months ago... i believe the snail has begun drying up. Darn that salt anyways!!!
