The problem with commando (other than the bugs that should still be fixed) is that they messed up when they added the specials to the weapons, yet left the weapons at different levels and spreadthroughout the trees. I like that the commando weapons have their own abilities and that they dont need specials. But most of the weapons need a usefull power increase to make the specials worth using and some abilities that make it worth something to other classes.
I dont think that my ideas will drastically over power the commando which is a big fear I think of the devs and a problem with most of the suggestions I have seen. Also my ideas should help solidify the role of the Commando as the premier heavy weapons specialists in the game.
-All weapons will keep the innate specials they currently have
-All weapons will keep the elemental damage they currently have.
-Some levels need to be changed to make them viable and the the base DPS needs to be adjusted. Only weapons with levels lested next to them need changed. Level 50 weapons should do about 260-270 BDPS with the best weapons ever ona server. Level 54 weapons should do about 295-305DPS with the best weapons ever to spawn on a server.
- All current skill bonuses are fine in commando and should stay the same and where they are.
- Structures mostly include turrets and anything SOE determines to be a building in the future, such as a gate or door
- Rocket Launcher Powerups (see below) have limited used (5-10ish) and drop condition by 1 (min) each use
- Weapons not mentioned (looted items mostly) stay the same cert as before.
