Thread: I'm bored... humor me.
So I got to thinking about how there's no real payoff for getting Master Commando (I am not one but that seems to be the general consensus from those of you who are unless i'm mistaken). I don't know if this idea has been raised yet or not on these boards(I don't frequent them much) but I started thinking about how Commandos use consumables as one of their weapon lines and a thought struck me. There's a lot of talk about how Commandos are supposed to excel with demolitions and explosives right? Hmm...what if weexpand on the Grenade concept a bit and take it one step further...
How about giving Masters the ability to rig/set/activate (something along these lines) their consumables to self-destruct so to speak doing damage in a one-timearea effectattack based on the number of charges left? Kind of like a last ditch Macgyver move where we jury rig that Rocket Launcher and set it to go BOOM (destroying the weapon in the process naturally). The drawback of course is it kills us and inflicts massive wounds in the process.
Sure, might be abit overpoweringbut considering the cost of the consumableand the fact that your basically taking your own life and suffering repercussions from it, it might be fun to try(we all know "Death" is laughable atm so heavy wounds adds a nice touch of balance). You of course would have to take a knee whilesetting the charge so to speak andcould even have adelay with avisible timer showing a countdownticking off before the explosion for PvP purposes if you wanted (so the other side has a fair chance to take you out beforehand).
Imagine your group engages an enemy force (Mob or Player, your choice) and as the battle rages your side isn't faring well. In a last-ditch effort to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy, you rig your weapon to explode (Blaze of Glory baby). So whatcha think? Neato concept or stupid idea? Like I said, i'm bored... so humor me (it's almost 3am). Thnx for reading and feel free to revise/modify/expand upon this idea.

There's no real payoff for getting master unless you think flamecone2 and increased heavy weapons accuracy just may be important.
Dude that would be hilarious.. I'd do it... and the fact that you can use the word MacGyver in a post... man... I'd love to sit in the middle of a fight in theed, take my 50k rocket launcher and say "Haha you're all gonna die!!!" and just set the thing off in a colossal boom... gawd that would be sweet haha.
Of course then I'd have to listen to 50 tells "You suck, they need to nerf you all" or my favourite "I'm gonna get you n^&%a" But goddamn it would be worth it just to stand in amongst all the bodies in the clone center and say "Ha, I f^&ked all your @$$es up"
It would be entertaining... once. To me, it seems like a pointless waste of expendable weaponry, which is already good enough on its own.
I would much rather see a master-only gun added (say, the Imperial Heavy Repeater)
