Commando Archive

Hi, I am a master wookiee CH and I always have problem with commandos flame attack.

Since I can't wear any armor, how should I defend against flame attack? Especially when flamesingleONE can do 3xxxx dmg..

Well actually flamesingle1 will do 3xxx not 3xxxx to you unless you are holding a rifle and prone. That bug is supposed to get fixed soon. The other problem you face is the fact that your heat resistant pets can resist our flamethrower, but not our DoT. This is possibly going to get fixed. Lastly, your staying alive... Bottom line is keep out of 16m range and I would suggest a pet that can dizzy, blind, or knockdown with either high heat resist or high ham (both preferred). This will keep you alive versus novice commandos sometimes, but a good Master will probably get to you and kill you if all you have is CH skills to combat them. I also would recommend fighting commandos when you are near water. One of the most assured ways of winning 1v1 PvP battles is to make sure you choose the time and location of the fight to defeat your enemy regardless of how much stronger they are.

I am a wookiee, I ama commando, there is nothing you can do except run for water after you get back up from the initial incap Also, flamesingle1 CAN NOT do 30k dmg, I hope you added an extra X, I can do 3k dmg, minus the pvp restriction I end up doing 700 in pvp.

Also, doctor buffs work well.

Sorry, my mistake. That should be 3xxx. Bikebum, are you saying flameshotONE only works in 16m?
I don't understand why you said fight commandos near water. My guess is flamethrower won't hurt that much if I stay in water, right?

Netwalker, what you said is true in 1 vs 1 situation. But in many vs many situation, when I have my pet attack somebody else, then a commando run up and give me a flamesingle, I don't even have enough time to command my pet to attack that commando.

Maybe you didn't notice, but in war, CH or people with AT-ST always become the first target.

Last, I agree that CH has good position in PvP, but that's only in 1vs1, not in many vs many.

BTW, wookiee CH really sux in PvP.

But there sure are alot of them...

Fire is put out if you jump in water....that's why you fight near water.

All of our special attacks are only usable at 16 meters or less. Flamesingle1 and 2 will not fire in water and if someone lands them on you out of water and you live, running into water puts out the flames (ie dot). Having doctor buffs will help you withstand the initial attack. Now our normal flamethrower shots will hit you if you are standing in water, however with the PvP restrictions on damage it will be minimal compaired to normal (300-500).Also in normal firing, the flamethrower is relatively slow (approx 4 sec delay), and somewhat inaccurate particularly when compaired to other elite combat professions.

Interesting question, here is my question to the Master CH. Your pets do more than Max dmg to me in pvp, considering that all player weapons do what I think 1/3 damage I would say a 500*2 +dmg pet (Gurreck, G Mauler, etc.) would play advantage CH. Just stay out of the range of a Commando and his best attack is worthless against you.

I can understand your plight right now, Im trying to figure out stradegy for fighting combat medics with their canisters which right now I dont know is possible. Even if you burn them down you will incap once their disease catches up with you since there is no way to heal it without another CM.

I think every profession has an upside and downside, personally I dont think all professions should be "balanced" but each should have a reason to play it. If you want to be the pvp king look at the professions better geared toward that. I think CH has good position in pvp although a Master BH is probably the most efficient PvP proffesion.
