First off i'd like to say this, HURRY UP AND FIX THE SERVERS!



Ok with that off my chest i'm gonna try to explain to all you small people out there that think commando is way overpowered that it is infact not the strongest. I encourage you if your close enough, to use up a few skill points and grab commando for a few days, and tell me how "easy" it is.


1) Weapons are extremely exspensive for a person to first buy


2)The flame thrower's speed is ver slow, we have a 15 second wait inbetween specials and8 seconds at flame 4


3) Commando's are short range fighters, thier not BH's where they can spam eye shot from 60+ meters off. Commando's need to be withing 16 meters to use their flame thrower effectivly.


4) As a commando you miss more than you hit in pvp, YES its true, i have specifically dueled people to find out. The BH killed me every time, and yes i missed every time.


5)As stated above, lets say i do hit somebody and their down (capped) i have to run around for 15 seconds before attacking my next guy. In that time everyone else is spamming eyeshot and everything else, so really commando's have a rough time.


When going against a commando be smart, RUN. the only way you can kill a commando is the range that you are from him. If you get less than 20 meters from a good commando, your a dead goose. Smart commando's will use buildings as cover, and only fight in close quarters, if this happens don't fight! unless youra pvp powerplayer and could care less how much you die.



I guess what i'm trying to do here is explain to you that commando is actually one of the hardest combat classes to use. TRUE i can be a very powerful one if the commando is a smart one, but overall commando's have their weaknesses, just like any class does. Use those weaknesses and you've got yourself a commando.

First, dancers have a higher defense mod becuase they (in theory) have more dexterity. Commando in SWG are heavy damage dealers. Not heavy damage takers.


Crying about another class having a skill you don't or a better mod then you is silly. All classes have disadvantages, this is one of ours.


Second, you were given 250 skill pts. Even if you train to master, you still have 81pts left. If you want more defense. Go get it.
