Commando Archive

From what I've seen on TC...all the melee protection and the fact that Master Commando is getting some love...and now the recent announcements about the 2.5 melee bonus removal/change...I'm happy with what's coming...I see tons of good possibilities...

Sure, our profession is not perfect and it's not going to be perfect after the next patch...but I think it's one step closer...once we get this melee damage monkey off our back we can then focus on our weapons (thegrenades and HAR specifically), specials for our LP and possibly alter some of the skill trees...

Is anyone else happy...it'scurrently a roughtime to be a Commando but it's about to get really GOOD!!! Once we get mounts, we can give up even more scouting skills for even more destructive/protective capabilities...

I'm not sure how to feel about the flame dot issue (no more dot incapps, but instead taking down to 1)...I think it should be reserved for PvP...PvE should still incapp...but with everything else, I'll deal...

Thoughts?

Oooh, I never thought about getting back 17 extra skill points from novice scout, explorer I because of being able to use mounts. This is good news.....must go back and use character utility again =).

Very content to be and remain commando. It is gonna get better. Once the fog clears and the path is made clear joy will return to commando land.

I for one am extremely happy with the commando proffesion. sure we have had many hurdles - but a great commando (ivoni) once said we must perservere through all of this - it will get better. Performance wise I must say that i couldnt be happier playing this role. I think our next steps must go toward the HAR and perhaps the LP having its own tree. All in all im happy for now - and will continue to go towards master commando - (2 boxes left) WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO.

PS im sure ivoni will be back soon - you can only sling a lightsaber so manytimes before you start missing the pretty little blowtorch - cya soon Ivoni hehe

I personaly will be very happy when mounts come out and I can drop my scouting skills, well maybe not maskscent because I'll be riding around on a Kaadau or what ever non-CH can use (Anyone know if the can ride anything else?), Commando isa great profession and I hope to soon master it

you can ride all the available mounts because BE can reduce their lvls to 10 and a CH can stop the growth of animals.

I'm very pleased with Commando. As far as the Flamethrower line goes. I've tried all of the other trees, and I'm completely unimpressed with them, except Heavy Support Weapons which is OK. I hope they work on improving the other trees.

Being a commando is a lot of fun. Sure I have posted about other complaints and what not... but all in all I have a good time playing this profession and I do not intend on giving it up. Its sorta how Imknown (or hated by rebels) on my little server-

-Do you guys smell smoke?

You guys might want to look up info about the mounts. last I heard they were going to have no terrain negotiation.

I was right with you all ready to surrender my scout skills.

*[Avian]Warnel* Pets are slow when moving up hills, will mount use the terrain skills of their owner to help them keep a strong pace going up mountains?
(oodBnar) They won't use the terrain skills of the owner, no

From the mount video on the SWG site I figured the way the Dewback moved up the mountains there was no worries...but who knows...all the response above says is that they won't share the skills of the owner.

On a side note...I did hear on TC that different types of mounts have different capabilties...for instance I believe the dev's have said that Kaduu's will be the fastest...so maybe some will be better at Terrain skills then others...

Outside of the melee penalty I'm loving commando.

I really can't see myself riding a choco...uh...kaduu, though.

Restless as a commando..mainly with the decay system..no word if thats really going to be this next update..

and im still keeping all or at least the majority of my scout skills..until either vechs come out or they add some terrain negotation to field tactics

remember your mount can be shot from underneath you...plus cant fight back..plus you cant do specials...

Well it was really rough there at first untilll I found ways toadapt but never did get back to my original ability. I am so happy now about being a comando, but really sorry I spent all this time making sure I have enough CH to control my Gurrek for the CH nerf. Glad I didnt drop my TK yet.
