Commando Archive

Ok, first let me say I am not a Hologrinder, nor am I looking to be the ultimate power in the Universe .

First a short story:

When I started this game last year, I wanted to be a Commando, but I also wanted to craft. Mainly I get bored when I do too much of the same thing. Going Commando at the time, would have seriously impaired me from being an accomplished Architect. So, instead I went with Master Rifles. This allows me the oppurtinity to fight most of the stuff in the game (while gimped in PvP), and still craft effectively, and be able to sell my wares.

Well enough of that.

I have an alt, that for the longest was just sitting there supporting my crafter with it's lots. I have recently started developing him into a full combat type. Also, there is still this unfulfilled itch to be a Master Commando. I went ahead and read Mr EvoBenny's guide (mucho work there and very good info), and still have a couple of questions. A little background before my questions tho.

One would think that in order to be effective in PvP (Not a god, but not gimped either) a Commando should follow up the unarmed with TKM, correct? However, TKM does not appeal to me. As much as I love Bruce Lee, TKM just doesnt have my calling. I would really like to go fencer, but that would sorta leave with no skill points to spend in scout .

So, in order to be somewhat effective in PvP ( not a god, but just have enough ump to have 50/50 chance or a little better):

Can any of the Pistoleer branches help to accomplish the above?

Or am I destined to have to Master another Combat elite profession to compliment MC?

Thank you for you time interest on this matter.

Sincerely,

sorry to say this, but if you wanna be a good PvPer, Commando isnt the way to go. We are good at PvE but PvP... we suck...

Im still tinkering with my templete so sorry that i cant help you

The point of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other b@stard die for his.

I love to PvP, and I am a Master Commando... we do suck, though I hold my own.... Uber weapons, food, drink, buffs, spice... etc...

My template is Master Commando, Fencer 3040, Pistoleer 0040, Novice Medic. Wanted to be able to take down turrets with Fan shot, and a Krayt Launcher pistol.

I find that for PvP I suck alone or in smaller groups (2-3) but if we have 5-6 on either side I can be very effective.

I am master commando and CH 4-0-0-4, I know it sounds whacky but when you can pop out two decent pets, one with crippling blow, and the other with fast acting poison, you can really dish it out, and sometimes the pets will keep the melee guys busy long enough for you to burn them down. Oh, and knowing the pets will keep on attacking once you are incapped/dead, is very enjoyable.

Commandoi is good for pvp when really in a group. I can say that first hand because i got toasted by one when i was beating up his friend. There still nice but you may want to pick up a melee skill also.
