Just wanted to know which is best Commando Heavy Weapon in terms of non-Area damage. Basically, I want to know what I can use when hunting that isn't going to agro whole herd and p*ss off my group. I know that Acid Rifle/Streamer is ok but i'm permanently blind using that. The other weapons that I have are:


Plasma Flamethrower

Flamethrower

Launcher Pistol

& Rocket Launcher


I am almost Master Commando (on MC skill box)


Thanks

Ok I read the other messages on the boardlast night after posting this and I now understand why I haven't had a response - basically I believe the answer is no.


Therefore I think best thing to do is use commando wpns but not to point at the herd, instead to target creatures that have been pulled away or are offset from the herd. In herd situations I have touse my Adv Laser Rifle/Elite Carbine/FWG5 Pistol or otherwise end up on my back or running away to cries of "stop running away you tool!"


As for Commando as a profession, I so wanted to be one pre CU for a) the weapons and b) the kudos factor of beng a Commando. The CU and respec enabled me to get Commando without having to grind all ranged weapons trees and I am happy with my choice. I won't change it despite all the currentissues.


Plus I love the idea of an eye shot with a rocket launcher lol

Actually if your very careful and good at judging the ranges of AoE on your weapons you can actually generally get away with using most AoE weapons in high mob concentration areas. Though.. it has backfired on me a time or two. In which case I promptly start spamming nades and burst running away from my team mates so their not slaughtered too

If you are in a group situation using your plasma is a good idea...you just want to make sure that someone (preferably a rifleman) is pulling the mobs to you. Once they get out of range (bout 35m away) open up with a gout of flame. Knowing how to play the group dynamics. Rifleman are suppose to pull, BH's are suppose to tank, Medics are suppose to keep everyone healed and we are suppose to light every god damned thing we see on fire. Stick true to your profession and light up the punk (use the lightning cannon until you can use a Plasma).
