Commando Archive

I'm a Master Commando, 4040 Fencer, 0043 Pistoleer, which is a very nice template for PvP. If you have a pair of Aakuan Rings, both ranged and melee defenses will be maxed.

My list of PvP must haves:

-effectiveness sliced composite (75%+ base, 35%+ stun)

-high base PSGs (40%+)

-afast flamethrower (3.0spd or less)

-a fast 1h weapon (for dizzy/lunge and melee toughness,NOT dmg)

-bodybuffs, mind buffs, *poison/disease buffs*

-foods: brandy, synthsteak, snow cake, canape, ithorian mist (if you feel the need)

-muon andpixie (just incase)

Tactics (in a nutshell):

-makesure your target is intimidated

-vs. doctors/cms: try to dizzy/lunge, then try your flamethrower

-vs. stackers: intimidate/dizzy and use all 4 flame specials, lunge probably won't work

-if you yourself gets dizzy/kd, switch to your 1h weapon to tank

-if you get kited by a ranged profession, don't chase; switch to 1h and wait for them to get in range

-vs. high-level jedi: you really don't stand much of a chance; try grenades, dizzy/lung, etc,but I just try to get away, lol

Priorities (in combat):

-make sure you intimidate everyone attacking you

-try to always have asynthsteak/psg protecting you

-watch your HAM, use your spice according to which bar needs it

-don't worry about dealing damage until your damage intake is under control

-keep your target on fire, use all 4 specials

-if your HAM is falling too fast, try to run away or hide, whatever you need to do to survive

Etc:

-re-equip PSGs after every load

-eat your synthsteak early

-eat your snow cake right before battle

-eat a canape only if you really need it, try to save the space for synthsteak

-poison/disease buffs help A LOT

-you'll be underestimated by most PvPers, use that to your advantage

-don't expect it to be easy, learn from every loss

-the more you PvP, the better you will get!

All I do is PvP, pretty much. I'm not sure how much this will help, but it's a condensed version of how I fight. It's extremely hard to PvP as a commando since an entire health bar (which you've been working down for the past5 minutes)can be healed with one stim. At least if you use all 4 specials, it will hurt a lot more than they expect. Keep your hopes up; it's very possible to put up a fight and survive.

We won't be gimped forever!

I was wondering about good pvp tactics for a commando. Now I read all of the posts about all the pvp problems with commado and since I am one in game I am well aware of the fact that we commados get sent to the cloner real fast in pvp (had a fight with a fencer one last about 2mn he beat the snot out of me, however I did get his health half way, had a bleed on him and I had no comp armor defintaly want a rematch). Nowwhat aresomeof ways that a commando has away of actually surviving a pvp match. Also what are some good ways a commando can be used in base takedowns
