Commando Archive

Given Commando is a difficult profession to master and the reward for putting the time and effort into doing so should result in a powerful character very viable in holding his own throughout PvP and PvE both will the Commando be overly powerful in PvP? I have not tested the Flame Thrower, the Acid Beam, or the Lightning Cannon, but they all seem to be weapons of mass destruction designed to do large amounts od damage fairly quickly. Did anybody in Beta have a Master Commando that was using Heavy Weapons crafted by a Master Weaponsmith? If so I would greatly like to hear what your build was, what strategy you used, how effective the profession was, and if you plan to continue being a Commando in retail.

Overly Powerful... In PvP the fighting classes are pretty equal so just because he can use an acid rifle during combat doesn't especially make him more powerful than a Teras Kasi artist. The commando's weapons may be more powerful but not as accurate and especially not as accurate when the person that ur fighting is in ur face. You should think of that... It is very balanced

I picked Commando from beta1, if it helps me in PvP, thats a good bonus, if not, oh well.

I was in a commando in beta had a flamethrower, heavy lightning cannon, and grenades. These weapons were a joke. If you want the best weapon graphics become a commando. If you want to do damage pick another profession. Just as a side note the commando weapons were introduced very late in beta and were not given a chance to be tweaked by the developers yet. There is still alot of work to be done on this profession and no one knows for sure if this is gonna be a kick ass profession or a total flop,
