Commando Archive

well atm..the dot suppousedly isnt as good as before...reports have been mixed and i havent played for a bit..

but best bet is to use the LP with pistoleer skills/MMor the FT with overcharge 2 until you get to flame I..then from there hunt things that have heat vulnerability..

viable choices are either the Tortons (with FT 3k xp per..dead in 1-2 shots from specials...much easier when i did it now, cuz no more 2.5X mulitplier for melee vs hvy weaps) or the Leviasqualls on rori..leviasqualls move reeaaaaallly slowly..and have been the choice for commandos since the dawn of launch...but i prefer the tortons (1,100,000 xp..220+ tortons and their lairs..which give 3k too..in 12 hours cuz of those babies)

Also..unless you lvl Pistoleer..LP isnt that great for higher lvls..plus i wouldnt recomend HAR (not as much Dmg...NO AP...only acid gun that doesnt, No DoT, mods are screwy..sometimes the delay can last MUCH longer than intended even at master lvl) the gernades are great for lvling combat xp...C22 i would say..the others are a bit screwy atm..and the hvy weapons..i wouldnt use them to level if i were you (do much more DMG with Lp/FT..hell even Har in most cases..at a fraction of ham...plus disposable hvy weapons..like gernades..and har..are also a bit screwy...however if you want to use em..use Rocket launchers or HPBCs..sometimes the LCs work pretty goodas well

Adding to what StarNick mentioned;

The commando profession is going through a bit of a hard time atm. We hope and pray that things will get better, but they really have not for quite some time. There are promises of great things to come in the next few publishes. We will have to see.

If you want to be a commando, go for it. I agree with what StarNick said. That is a good way to get Heavy Weapons XP. I love being a commando, but we have been getting nerf'd quite a bit, and it has been difficult to get responses and help from ANYONE at SOE. We have lost at least 2 correspondents, and a whole load of fantastic commandos.

I intend on staying a commando for a while, and I am waiting to see what will happen to us after we "wait and see" as JustG put it. I just wish we could be told an approximate date on this happening. We have waited about 8-9 months and still no answer.

I hope things do get better soon, because many are leaving out of frustration, and we are on the heals of a few REALLY BIG NEW MMORGs that will gobble up the masses, especailly if SOE does not do something about this game soon.

Hope I did not bore you.

Thank you so much guys

You could be a rifleman.

Just kidding. I have a couple commandos in my PA that whine and moan as loud as these folks on this board. It seems that part of being a commando is the whining skill tree. Be sure you grind that one all the way out before you look around and see that:

You have decent pistol weapons, including one that does blast damage

You have a great weapon (in the flamethrower) and need to learn to use it.

You can use grenades!

You have good heavy weapons, but they can be hard to find. Find a good weaponsmith that will make them for you. Press for an Acid Rifle fix.

You have NO defense vs. KD and other state attacks. Watch that, and if a TK asks you for a duel, start it at long range.

You will need to hybridize to do well. Right now, commando is broken. The DEVs have said that, and others are in the queue in front of you, and will get repaired before this profession. That is a hard fact.You have two choices (whine as much as you like; you didn't grind all the way to Whining 4 for nothing):

1) KBO (Churchill reference), and hybridize. Get some Pistoleer skills. Get some TK skills. Get Medic (2000 for the bleed cure). Adapt. Survive.

2) Give up. Have a whine and cheese party. Invite your friends so they are all in grenade range. But do it right, and quit SWG totally.

Take it easy, and when your day comes, and you hung in there, you can laugh at the Smugglers, who will still be waiting to figure out what the heck Underworld does.

Weirdo. I think you had too much spice. Now go back to the smuggler forum, and stay out of here.
