Commando Archive

I tried EVERYTHING against this &*^%^* Queen. Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher, Proton Grenades, HAR, Launcher Pistol. The Launcher Pistol was the most effective against the Queeen but it just didnot pack enough of a punch. It was after this fight I was so humiliated to be a Master Commando that I dropped everything but the Flamethrower tree and I will drop that once I become competant in another profession. SOE has won and is slowly forcing another Commando to the unemployment lines.

Article 57, As of right now I am dropping down to FT4 becasue it is the only semi-useful tree that Commandos have now. The Devs left the Commando profession floating down poop (edited version) creek without a paddle. Had the said here this toy is broken. I need to fix it but here, I fixed these other toys for you to use in the meantime. Now they work like they are supposed to. If a high level creature has 80% resistnace to heat, it is nearly unbeatable with the Commando profession alone now. I harvest Meat, Hide, and Bone for my partner. I travel to where the shifts take me. If Insect meat on Endor is my assignment, that is where I MUST be able to kill. The Commando profession requires 126 skill points to get to FT4 just to find out that it is useless at times. Why not give in to the Devs push and go TKA? I can become a MASTER TKA with 92 skill points to be stuck with one damage type. That leaves me more points to go into a second profession to be able to harvest more efficiently. I do not PvP, only PvE. I need to be good at what I do and right now, Commandos are only Marksman with a nerf toy flamestick

"Commandos are only Marksman with a nerf toy flamestick."

I never quite thought of it like that, but that's pretty dead-on actually. Although we can get uber combat exp with grenades too. It justs costs alot...

I like going down 1/3 of my HAM bars to throw an imperial detonator at 10m and getting 3k of combat xp outta the fight. After I get the doctor to heal me outta my incapacitated state after the critter turns on me.

I too have given up my commando skills for the time being to grind out the rest of the proffessions. Hopefully I can get carbineer, smuggler, fencer, swordsman, pikeman brawler, scout, ranger, combat medic, bio-engineer, medic, doctor, combat medic, dancer, image designer, musician and entertianer done before publish 7, then when I do armorsmith like my holocron told me, I can just unlock my jedi slot, and go back to being a Master Commando with the mix of TKA/Pistoleer. It seems this is an appropriate pause in the "fixing" of the commando proffession. I figure sometime after the space expansion comes out, BlunderHeart err ThunderHeart might actually read and post in here again as opposed to the 5 posts a day he seems to be making in the droid engineer forum. Granted, thier class needs alot of fixing, but so does Commando.(My first proffession to the game was DE, and until I was halfway through with it did I realize that it wasn't going to be the great proffession that it is made out to be in the book)

I am glad to hear this. Commandos shouldnt be able to kill anything they want to. Notice how in EQ ...players can level to 65 I think it is now and NPCs can be lvl 75 I think....thats so no one is a god. I am glad you died and I hope you are never able to solo anything this hard. Maybe 3 commandos or 4. But not soloing all of endor.

Great another person who wants this game turned into EQ...

Hey bud Ive got a piece of info for oyu. Rifleman can solo Rancors, and AQ's, and pretty mnuch everything but Krayts, and high end nighsisters. Pistoleers can solo most anything on endor...as can carbineers, pikeman, Fencers,and TKA's. So now commando,BH,andcombat medics are all of the sudden just about the only people who cant solo high end things in the game, and guess what, we are the three proffesions taht cost the most SP....

yeah flamethrowers suck on things like that, but you can burn up Singing Mountain Clan NPC nicely. Completely vulnerable to heat, too bad the NS seem to drop all the good loot. Im a master rifleman/Just about master commando (3444) and lately i been using my flamethower more then my rifles cause of mind cost of the rifles (i got plenty of food but they cost a lot so im trying to not to waste them all) and take out my T21 when things like these get in my face.

Buffed i would kill anything that moved on Yavin....Pre patch of course.....now i've decided to leave the Commando (a.k.a. CreamPuff) profession.....it's a real waste of skilllpoints for little to no payoff..

Good riddance... all part time commandos will be leaving to another FOTM... I ama master Commando and I rock in pvp... it is all I do, with the nerf I have not seen any problems... I will be a commando for ever or at least a very long time... TKA sounds better for u, try that.
