Hey All,
I quit after the first wave of big CH changes, I was Flame 4, working my way up the CH Tree. My question is, what has changed to the Commando line since I have been gone? Is Master Commando actually something people strive for now, or is it still dabble in flame 4, then pick other professions? I ask because I liked the commando, but felt most if not all the other skills I had in the commando tree besides Flame were useless compared to the other choices I could get with those skill points.
I was thinking about going up the bounty hunter line for fun, because I like the idea of bounty hunters, but with the missions the way they were before I didnt want to mess with that either. Im not looking for easy road uber template responces, I am just curious if other commando tree's are actually usefull now.

Neither, now it's "Completely ignore Commando, it sucks." Commando is a dying profession, it can't do much against high level MOBS (except at 1000cr per shot) and is pretty useless in PVP as the Burn doesn't do much damage anymore, average armour reduces the flame damage by 85%, Doctors can heal the burn etc. Hopefully that should change in about 2-3 months.

The only new thing in the commando box is +30 accuracy to the flamer and HAR, and +40 acc to the rocket launcher. But as Razer said, high end mobs resist the flamer excessively.

Commando is still fun, just be prepared to see that once mighty burn tick of 8000 on a Nightsister be reduced to 400.

Nothing has reallychanged, except we now have some idea of the scale of change coming to the profession during the combat balance. Word has it that we'll be getting the HSW line essentially replaced for something different, in addition to the rebalancing of all of our weapons.

Well, on the postive side in patch 11 we allegedly get:
- Revamped GCW
- Combat Rebalance
- Squad Leader Revamp
Things are still rather broken, but at least the fixes are finally on the horizon, with the number of details regarding them exponentially increasing each weak.
