Commando currently takes up 169 skill points.
After the BH's short-sighted counter-nerf MBH takes up 217 - 48 = 169
Okay skill points wise it's pretty "fair" for the BH now. I'll give them credit, they've survived a long and grueling profession with an investigation tree I wouldn't touch with a 40-ft pole.
BUT look at this. BH has some pretty nasty specials with their scatter pistol and BH carbine isn't too bad. They have 2 very viable (and even LLC isn't terrible) weapons. We have the flamethrower--which is quite awsome--and the LP which I would rarely use.
Factors to consider
* BH uses carbine and pistols which can be coupled with other professions. With the additional 48 points they could go take up some nasty pistol defenses combined with their lethal specials. Commando has barely any defenses.
* BH has a few career choices between carbines, pistols, or even ranger. Commando has TKM or smuggler. Frankly, smuggler merely for last ditch and feign death isn't too great. TKM is a nice profession to tack on, but it seems pretty polar to the Commando profession.
I don't mean to rag ont he BH--I love the BH--but the devs need to start paying attention to us. Honestly, the best thing that could happen to Commando is a total nerf so the devs over compensate for it by giving us a nuclear bomb.
Bottom line : Commando isn't worth its weight in skill points.
(I will admit, even broken, Commando was my favorite prof I ever did).

It is true that with this change the BHs will get a huge powerboost. I suspect many to pick up pistoleer to compensate for their lack of defenses, much like we take TKA most of the time. As far as the nerf is concerned, I have been there when our weapons maxed at like 200 dmg. You dont want a nerf that bad. Not inlcuding we already got a big nerf by them taking away our DOT and getting rid of stacking the same special. My point is that what we really need is a fix. And frankly, I am tired of the excuses. With the weapon change delay my commando skills are all but useless. My secondary prof that I took strictly for defenses and high heat resist mobs is turning into my main prof.

I've felt the Commando's pain. I was one of the first Commandos (aside from Goose, etc) on Kett. I still have my 110 max dmg 8.0 speed flamer that cost me 80k. I quit the game because I COULD NOT level commando. I remember when LP gave pistol xp LOL.
I emplore the devs to give us some attention. AT THE VERY LEAST do not classify this as spam/hate. I do not hate the devs, I'm just upset to see our neglect.

I hear you. One good thing I don't want to hear a BH any more saying We have the highest Points used crap. There we are tied. And all of ours is combat. All of yours is not. SO you should own a jedi yes but we should be better at combat. This is realy starting to tick me off. I swear they better just delete commando because right now all we are getting is nerf after nerf after nerf. I am so mad and I am not even playing. I have a active account but dang it. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Well, it took me 2 days to master my newest commando and 1 month to master my first commando (back when we were gimp), but it took me 2 months to master BH. Investigation was just grueling, but then again there were no speeders and most the marks were unattackable. I bet BH is easy to master now.

That is a good point. BHs cant say they have the most now. Now our profession has the absolute most skill points in combat in the game. Lets see what happens with it.

Look at it on the bright side we can dabble in BH fairly easy now. I wonder what eyeshot with a LP looks like lol. I deff think this is great for the BH they needed something fast and this is a little boost for them. Now we just wait and see what happens come CB time for us commando's.

Looks like Im dropping master commando. Master Pistoleer/Shock Trooper/Enforcer is looking awfly nice to me. I think my master BH will pick up shock trooper also. Im not about being uber or the best PvP template, Im about big weapons and blowing stuff up, lol.
