Well, I've come back after a year-long absence. I still don't really understand the Combat Upgrade yet. I mean, SOE is great at giving page after page of theory, but no real in-game data.
My question is this: is the Commando worth playing? I played a Commando back when the only weapon we had gave pistol experience. After a year-long absence, I came back to a Commando with a working flamethrower and great specials but HORRIBLE accuracy. How is it now? I can see so many complaints about the Commando, but I also know that people can be a bit melodramatic at times.
I have a respec now. Should I use it to fill out the rest of Commando that I had begun to remove a long time ago? Or should I choose something else?
I'm not looking for the "best combination in the game." What I'm looking for is to finally be at least somewhat useful. I'd like to not have to spend hours trying to get into a group because they think my profession sucks. If the Commando is still dead in the water (I noticed that I had NO specials when I logged on...what is up with that?!), what else would be worth playing, fun but not overpowered?
I have no weapons anymore (gave them away because I didn't think I'd be getting back on) so take that into account (you know, if it's extremely hard/expensive to get a decent Commando weapon like it was when I played.)
[On a little side-note, I have 3 friends playing with me. One is a Doctor/Rifleman. One is a Bounty-Hunter/Rifleman. One is undecided. So I'm trying to come up with something that will at least stick with them and not be a burden. So much has changed and I understand so little of it. I know it's a lot for a once-decent, now-n00b to ask, but I remember the Commando board being very friendly the last time I visited.]
