Commando Archive

All you commandos who say that the flamethrower sucks at novice are...simply, wrong.

I've yet to get any skills in commando, and with overcharge shot 2, i can do in excess of 4,000 damage with my flame thrower.

Misses? Hardly.

All i can say is that you guys must be fireing from the 55 meter range where the thing suffers the highest penalty.

I use it like a rifle, with aim, for my opening shot at 62 meters. Then i move quickly as possible for another aim and shot at 30, then again in melee range. The mob is dead by then, and if not it will be shortly with a quick change to the launcher pistol.

Missing 7 out of 10 shots like everyone says is complete bull**edit**. I miss maybe 1 out of 10 shots.

stop shooting durnis and go shoot baz nitch, kamuriths, nightsisters, force sensitives... you know, high level creatures that have defense. Or duel another player...

you will see how bad you will miss.

Give him time, he will find out. I get irritated at nooB commandos coming in here and saying "All is great" after playing novice commando for 3-6 hours.

lol, yeah, im wondering what mob hes fighting that gives him enough time to use aim and doesnt immediately warp right on you. I know crazed durnis move real slow. Or maybe its time to leave those meatlump fools alone. LOL

ROFL, the greatest thing about it is it sounds like a friend of mine who is just barely novice TK and and decided he wanted master brawler to go with it. He was all happy sending me tells on how he is just taking a heavy ax and killing meatlumps with one hit. LOL He just dont get it, even after I took him out after torturs with me and he was using TK. The dam fool didnt realize that my droid and I was the ones getting attacked when he started combat. All he realized was that he wasnt getting hurt and was getting 600 xp from each without realizing my DOT was doing the job and I was getting 1500 of the xp LOL. So he started just pounding away at their lair and I knew I wouldnt be able to survive the assault of 3 tortur bulls at once so I quikly disband and sat back and watched him get incaped. LOL He blamed it all on lag when I know I saw the red flashes of him doing his TK moves. lol

Dam noobs.

whell at least its better then master carbineer or something

so he is right from a point of view

With time comes wisdom young grasshopper...someday your eyes will be open and you will see the light...

or maybe he just hasnt been a commando so long that he has become cynical about it. At novice level it is new and amazing experience to have commando and do that much damage. I have been a master rifleman before and i have to say I LOVE being a commando. (sure i could kill most people in about 5 seconds flat if they were nor wearing a helmet but after i killed one person i had no mind at all left (and that with with my stats migrated to max) so without an entertainer to buff my ass for 2 hours our untill iwas dead, i knew that if i killed someone someone else would kill me

erm i have no idea where i am going for this.

oohhh yeah....

Rather than trying to make him hate the proffesion before he starts let him enjoy it, just cause some of you are bitter and twisted about the nerfs we recive and how sometings like the acid rifle arnt working yet.

Commando is great i love it. but coming onto the commando borads can really make you think twice about being a commando

"Commando is great i love it. but coming onto the commando borads can really make you think twice about being a commando"

You should. Think about it. They had to fixus so just ONE of our weapons worked right (flamer) in orderto nerf us. No other class has had that honor

He may be new, and yes commando is fun. But all things considered, being a commando is as painfull as a BH upping his investigation line... except that our pain comes from 3 skill trees, not just 1.

BH: Waaa! Cant attack my mark! Shuttle wait is too long.

Commando: *lobs grenades and kills self* .... *hangs acid rifle as wall decoration* ... *burn baby bu..oh**edit**missed!OW800damageOW800dama..DEAD* ... *spams healthshot1 with launcher pistol*... *shoots atst with $50k rocket launcher, first hit strikes health bar, 2nd hit strikes action bar, atst shootsbackHELLO CLONING CENTER*

bleh.

lol atleast your complaints were written in a humourous way lol

(and you didnt point out one of my spelling mistakes/typos which is always a good way to dig at me as i always make them)

So are you all saying that commando sux cus it is bugged? or that it just plain sux, cus i am almost master marksman and i want to no if i should go for somthing else before i get myself regreting painfull hours of work....

Actually, it's okay to miss 3 of 4 times over 15 seconds when you're carrying a weapon that does 4 times the damage of a scout blaster... Mind you, when you hit 5 of 8 times at flame 4, you feel a bit more secure about taking on those vicious nunas...

Force Unsensitives - Skill tapes for heavy weapons? Wait, they make those?

People are getting the wrong idea...so let me start at the beginning...Novice Commando and Commando in general does not suck in the slightest bit...If it did, why the heck would we all be here and not some other profession? there...that said, let me move to the next part of this...

As compared to a Master Commando (or basically higher levels of Commandos), Novice Commando does suck...that's what people have been trying to say...but as you move up the ranks, the suck factor decreases...

When you start as a Commando Novice you accuracy on most of our weapons is pitiful...you miss like 9 out of 10 shots...that's why we all say use the Launcher Pistol in the begining...the Pistol skills you earned to get to this level will greatly help out here...and the LP will give you heavy weapons xp...as you progress and get better accuracy, you will use the FT more and more...

So when people say Novice Commando sucks, they mean from high up looking down...it's like a Major League Baseball Player saying that Little League Player sucks...sure, it's not a fair comparison, but both start out with the same basic skills, one has just progressed and honed their skills more.

And to those who think that the Commando Professions sucks in general...sure, we are a flawed profession in need of various fixes, but we still kick butt...notice all those folks who come here and post that commando's suck are usually the same people who got beat by one in a PvP...they say we suck and yell NERF at the same time...funny how that works..

So if your considering Commando I can confidently tell you...the prize is worth all the effort!!!

No one here said it sucked. We just saying that its FUN but be prepared to deal with a lot of dung put there by SOE's incomptence or unwillingness to make 3 of the 4 trees work as they should. (and im not talking what I THINK they should do, but rather what the skill tree description says they have. Example: HAR accuracy mods dont work..you can have HAR4 and still not hit better than just novice commando... heavy weapons say they have 6m damage radius....but in the game they dont.... grenades miss 90% of times when thrown at their + accuracy range... and of the 10% of times they do hit, 5% of those they will kill you)
