Thread: Returned to Commando
As a Smuggler you can mez a whole lot of mobs and players at once.
You have two out of five professions needed to take down a base.
If a Commando has a good damage profession and some nice tanking Armor/Food he/she can use their DoT's do slowly wear down a whole group of Mobs / players. What I mean is that as you land a DoT (or set) on one mob you switch to the next and do the same thus making full use of our DoT's on the group of attackers as a whole. Add in the AOE elemental damage and you get a nice result. Of course this requires a LOT of tanking, especially if not in a group. If in a good group a healer will be able to help you (just try to keep the aggro off of them by attacking everything you possibly can as soon as they heal you). Your group members may be pleasantly surprised to find that after killing the initial target, the next ones are already significantly damaged. So, as a whole, the group of enemies is killed faster. Don't get me started with the idea of your usefulness in AOE groups!
I think the biggest thing holding Commando's back is that others (and many Commandos) don't quite understand how best to work with and take advantage of our unique AOE ability. That's one thing about Vode Inya that sparks my interest (if only I had more time! dumb job). A guild of Commandos who understand how to grind, fight, and have fun with other Commandos.
A full commando unit /drool. I love the idea. If you actually has a guild of commandos who each had a complimentary profession. Say all are commando plus ... A combat medic, riflemen, smuggler, etc. Be pretty cool. Imagine a mob getting hit by 8 Plasma Flame Throwers. Im onKettemoor PM me if someone is doing this on my server.

The dedicated commando guild is on StarSider, after a lengthy vote of which server to go to, and we all have backup professions.
I know we have at least one combat medic/commando, one squad leader commando, and a carbineer/commando. I don't know what everyone is, since the guild list has about 30-someodd names on it.
You're welcome to join us by making a new toon on StarSider, or having your existing commando transferred to StarSider. We want all the commandos we can get so that we may storm the server and claim it for ourselves!
I gave in and made a Commando on Star Sider. Please PM with contact info. Well hes not a commando yet. Long way to grind and Id appreciate the help.
