Commando Archive

Just curious I'd like to hear some stories - with so many people saying A) Commandos are too powerful, and B) melee classes don't work, I think some real world stories to the contrary might be good to hear ~J

oh yea nothing like a good dizzy,lunge/Knockdown to kill you in a second if you get too close

ya i got owned once.... i was on theed once and i keep killing this guy with a t21 over and over he would just come out of the clone center laydown and attack and then i would killem.. he was useing the revenge tef.. well the last time he walked right up next to me and i was like "**edit**" i send him a tell - telling him that wasnt gonna help him with that t21.. when all of a sudden he bust out a sowrd and hits me with a dizzy shot whichi couldnt get up from...

pretty funny to say the least

No, I dont think any commando since the fix has been killed by any melee type. I used to be a master brawler/fencer then switched to commando when I heard what they were doing with knockdown/warcry. A melee types chances against a decent commando are slim to none.

My best friend is a novice swordsman with 1/0/0/0. We duel alot for fun. He can take out half my life with a good hit. Using Flame Single 1 the best I can do to him is 3/4ths of his life. For the 2 of us it's whoever has the better timed shots that wins. Unless I pull out the LP and loose him in the smoke effects.

I was in a heck of a streetfight in Restuss on Rori, mostly using my DX2 to avoid attacting too much attention, when I see 3Imperials in front of a guildhall all together real close like. It was too good to pass up so I burst ran up and flameconed them, and ran into the guildhall, where some TKA was waiting and took me out in no time while I waited my 13seconds to attack again. I'm pretty sure that everyone except the guy I targeted with the cone survived, but I sure didn't.

Another time I was hiding in a door way with my launcher pistolshooting randomly at people with bleedsas they fought and I healed myself(I think this was in Kadaara). There was so much going on I didn't see the guy with the power hammer come around along side the building and nail me but good. Since he was so closeI tried to pistolwhip him but it said out of range, and by the time I'd switched to the flamer I was mind incapped.

But that said, theese cases are an exception to the rule. It's definately not easy for a meele to take on anyone in this game, especially a commando. They have it really really rough (especially TKA) but under the right circumstances they can shine. I just wish it was more often. I don't thinkCommando's are overpowered per se, but Meele is certainly in need of some love now, and anyone who says otherwise has never tried PVP close combat.
