Did you guys know that you could use areaattack 1 from the marksman bar with commando. This is really good cause it does like 1k damage to everything in a circle around you and hits more people than the cone does.

you can also use overshout 2, or suprression fire, or....so on and so forth...

you mean you're just finding this out?

you can also use them with llc for a BH, or any other ranged weapon, just about...

It should not be a suprise that he is just finding this out. From what I read on the boards, the majority of commandos think they should be able to walk up to anything in the game and waste it with a single flame special. There is hardly any discussion about tactics.

Ya i am just finding this out lol. Some good strategies can come from having all these moves at your disposal.

Jee, doesn't make too much sense why you would over use overcharge on your flamer

Yeah, FlameSingle has about the same delay, does the DOT, does more damage, and since you can only hit most of the time when you're within FlameSingle range, OverCharge is pointless.

Contrary to Overcharge2, I can actually see Supression 1 or Point Blank Area 1 being useful with a Flamer.


On the other hand, Flame Single 1 is restricted to 16m range, while Overcharge 2 is not (as far as I can tell, never tried it during my Commando time)

I've used overcharged shot 2 to take out a person's bike before, then went in for the kill... it has it's uses seeing as it's 64m range

unfortunately..since our Special Heavy Weapons normally are more expensive than other elite proffessions...overcharge 2 sorta hurts a bit..


and Null...the main reason why there isnt a discussion of tactics here is because we still dont have a clear purpose and still need an overhaul...the biggest tactic on these boards is how to dabble to crate a template that actually makes commando useful (yet in doing so..most ppl find out commando lags their template down...if Master...not the dabbling Flame IV's)


Also...a big point here...do most other elite's *have* to go down their pre-reqs and use MM skills? No..but they have an option to do so...but most prolly dont as they have better and stronger attacks


With us...we dont have that such option. (and yet we're a hybrid..suppousedly stronger..take more SP..yet have less options in combat...)

Point blank area single is the attack most often used by pistoleers when they are leveling. It is an even better tool for leveling commando.


Walk up to a savage quenker lair (get buffed first), target the lair and start spaming PBA1. You will get all 6 quenkers in no time and they will die almost as quickly. A fast and easy 22k exp.

hum its ovious you just came up with this and have actuly never tryed it



it dont work very well :/


why becous they seem to suround you and get behind you more often then not wich means 90% of the time your still only hiting 1 doind same dam as cone 1 but with no dot


as for stratigy theres not much you can do with 4 repetive specails and novice marks men 0cs and poster down and the point blanckarea attacks


o ya by the way for thos who dont know by now ocs 2 is bug its same dam as ocs 1 but takes more con off your wep

Maddogs, you don't know what you are talking about.Not onlyhave I been using it for the last two days, but it is the most suggested way to level on the Pistoleer boards.It makes no difference if they are behind you or not. This is not a cone attack. It targets everything that is in melee range.


But, just to be sure, I logged in again, pulled out the FT and wasted a hurton lair. I even purposefuly moved around so most of them were behind me as I used Point Blank Area 1 on the lair. Guess what? They all get hit.
