Okay... before the CU I was a Master Commando. Then I left the game for awhile, came back and decided to go back to MC. Got some questions on this whole thing.
1. Is elemental damage, once they supposedly fix it, calculated into the DPS the weapon shows or is it just bonus? ...if it's just bonus... I suddenly like the new Commando a whole lot more.
2. Besides the first teir Acid Rifle, any of our other weapons NOT have an AoE? I know the Rocket Launcher doesn't right now, so I'm grinding with it, but I'm pretty sure it's suppose to have one. heh.
3. Switching through the various weapons to get the various built-in statuses of the guns good practice? Acid does blind. Rockets do KD. Flame does burn.
...I think that's it. As much of a oops this feels like.. I'm having fun playing with heavy weapons. But that's just me.

- I believe it is a bonus damage, but is resisted separately when calculating damage done and when hitting armor
- Yeah, the RL has a radius, but only works half the time for me lol. But our only non-AOE weapon is the Proton Rifle, which doesn't work.
- It can help, although once ya get into PvP you'll find yourself using the ASL a lot hehe....

On switching weapons, it's more a question of range than states (if they're at 64m use the ASL, when they get close switch to the LBC, pointblank? PFT). The reason I say this is because it's so hard for a state to stick on the first shot from a weapon so if you sit there and shoot with the ASL 6-7 times just to blind a target he'll be hitting you with high damage attacks and you'll be missing out on your high damage from your PFT. Although PvP is different and I could defnintely see the ASL (with it's huge radius and range) be more effective in mass PvP.

For Grinding HW xp you will be better off using the Heavy Particle Beam Cannon. Yes I know you could do more damage waving your *edit*toothbrush*edit* at the MOB but the set of circumstances required for this weapon to aggro multiple mobs is rare. Basicly the hitboxes of the mobs have to be lined up precisely in order for it to hit them both.
