First mohawk on Flurry, tallest human in the galaxy

*sniff*..... I miss it already.

I've done exactly the same. I've been a Commando since shortly after launch, but I've had enough of utterly broken trees. I've already dropped 90 skill points of Commando and pre-reqs. I'll come back the minute that Commando works. Which looks like never, at this rate.

I miss my Flamethrower already though.

I agree this will be the fall of the commandos

I feel your pain Skip, for I too have dropped Commando, I have strayed from the true path, and it has been hard for me to use a weapon that does not burn and cause a lot of explosions. Maybe someday we can all come back to Commando and once again be effective...

Appy, I appreciate the condolences, but I was beyond patient for too long, so was Farky. In all honesty its almost time for me to move on completly. I now am waiting for WoW to come out. I dont feel like Im in any "Star Wars" galaxy, and thats why I started playing this game. I dont believe that Sony really cares about this game. All they seeis $bling$ $bling$. Like I said, I'll come back to commando when its fixed, as it is my calling in this game, but Im not holding my breath.

It's not the Flame "nerf" that's got me dropping Commando, I was considering it about 3 weeks before that. I actually like the nature of the nerf, it means that you have to use the FT more intelligently. I'm pissed off that there are no adequate alternatives within the Commando profession for those times when the Flamethrower isn't going to cut it. 100% Heat Resist? Pick a weapon to use... Umm... Well, the LP is accurate enough to hit in a greater than 8m range band... I'm just for the moment sick of being broken and b0rked. I'm gonna screw about with new combat templates, mebbe do a crafting profession even. When Commando becomes a viable profession again, like it was for about a month, I'll come back. I do see light at the end of the tunnel. I see at the very least fixes for the brioken stuff, AOE grenade damage, grenade range, Disposable resource costs, HAR accuracy, speed, hell, maybe even HAR AP. But until some of that happens, I'm gonna screw about with TKM, Master Rifleman, 0/0/4/4 Pistoleer. Should mess up those Dizzy/KD spammers very nicely. (Weird how that's the same Skill Points as a Master BH, but would slaughter them.)

So yeah: Going for now, returning when fixed. I still have hope!

I must be a masochist. LOL. Carbineer to commando. Hmm not much difference.

Let people leave. They have their reasons. I stuck with carbineer for six months waiting for lovin and finally left because I got sick and tired of the buff/crash/buff cycle you have to go through because of ham requirements. Like commando they have broken weapons. To date the ee-3 (which has a 3m radius of damage) has been broken. No biggie. But throw in low defenses (when compaired to most other professions, a +130 in counter attack is the best and about the only thing you get), broken specials (yeah they "fixed" charge shot 2. A kd that now has a timer and has never worked since they broke multi-target), and insane ham requriements. Makes for one tough thing to play.

I like the heavy acid rifle. But the game treats the weapon like "supersoaker 3000". Turn the darn thing into a weapon. Targeted shots please. Definitely a bleed shot. The dx2 and the dxr6 have light armor peircing but the heavy acid rifle doesn't?? Ill bet the new disruptor has medium. Give the heavy acid rifle at least the euqivalent of that.

Grenades are cool. But if it werent for the fact that I have tk running in my blood I could never use them. LOL the only reason I use them now is for novelty. I like dodging my own shrapnel.

Suggestion for the launcher pistol would be to do the following. Move heavy weapons and grenades together into one tree and base it off of combat xp. Launcher pistol gets its own tree. And commandos Now don't need to take up pistoleer to use one of the two working (although underpowered) weapons that they have available as a commando and not a master marksman.

And for the love of all that is holy. Give commando and bh some defenses.

Just a few suggestions. And I know the wrong post to do it in but that is the way the post wrote itself.

i know how all of you ex-master commandos feel, myself being one for a very long time. I was just tired of playing a broken class. as soon as i make a lot of money with architect/rifleman and they fix commando, then ill go back.
