Commando Archive

I think that because we require unarmed 4 as a prerequisite, and get no benefit, we should get some sort of a melee move like "stock hit" where we kind of butt our opponent with the stock of our gun (perhaps launcher pistol excluded) and give it a knockdown. This would essentially be like the pistoleer move "melee defence 1" and could be used on a melee opponent who runs up on us, so we can knock them down adn have enough time to move back and use a special.

because we have the requirements of already having a tree in combat xp (ranged tree in marksman) whereas pistoleers do not and thus require combat xp to get this KD, i think its reasonable to give this move at novice commando, since more combat xp is required to reach novice commando then is required for a pistoleer to get his melee kd.

I see this as being reasonably logical, and hope you guys like this idea. now post constructive feedback or flame my arse away (no pun intended)

just my .02

Sounds like a good idea, afterall, if we have to get unarmed we might as well get a melee attack at novice or master commando

We get warcry and intimidate from unarmed, both work in PvE and PvP.

I use warcry a lot. It helps especially when you're fighting a swarming mob and need a second to heal.

As for adding some sort of melee something, I think that's just wishful thinking. We need to get what we have working correctly before we start getting new stuff.
