Thread: I NEED Your HELP!
Some of you may know that Commando weapons require rare resources and a huge quantity at that.
If you had a chance to carry only 3 Commando weapons (inlcuding stacks of grenades) what would you pick. I do not wish to make a CryoBan Grenade if the Proton is way better. I assume it is, however are there certain grenades used best in different situations or is it safe to assume that if I am going to make 1000 grenades thay should all be Proton.
Would you bother with a Lightning Beam Cannon if you had a Heavy One or do they serve different purposes?
I know there aren't too many masters bu tlet us collect as much data as possible, no sense in wasting valuable resources for lower end weapons if there is such a thing in the commando profession.
Thanks.
Well first of all, we cant really tell you, because none of our weapons work properly.
Secondly, the heavy lightning cannon is a commando weapon. The light one is a bounty hunter weapon.
Isn't the Light Lightning Cannon the BH Weapon, I was refering to the Lightning Beam Cannon or are they both BH?
I understand i't hard to make a choice now considering the broken profession but as a personel prferance what would you think you would use?
Launcher Pistol - will be even more popular after xp swap.
Flamethrower - only current viable heavy weapon to xp with.
As for grenades they so rarely hit and do such low damage atm they are only being used in combination with bleeding on mobs for 110% combat xp. Fragmentation is your best bet and quantity over quality since the bleed is the real damage. The current personal deal (key word is personal) I have with a smith friend of mine is 125 (25 sets of 5) for 6k again quantity over quality. Don't bother smithing the higher cert ones since nobody will actually buy them (I know I wouldn't) since the damage doesn't really matter for xp'n with them right now. The most important factor with grenades imo is hitting and if you already have a bleed going your basically done if you hit it with one grenade no matter what the damage.
Everything else is a waste of resources and creds right now.
The cannon/launcher charged weapons are crap (due to limited use) unless you want to sell them for 2-4k a piece don't even bother making them. Only the insanely wealthy would be willing to buy one of these to only get 5-10k xp from it during it's lifetime.
As for different weapons for different purposes......I've hit heat vulnerable mobs with my flamer for the exact same damage I get on a non vulnerable mob imo vulnerablities are wacked as well atm.
I hate posting so many threads about the same topic but I really need everyone's help.
I posted a thread on the Discussion boards about Squad Leader. Lo and behold, I got a response from Xahn, an SOE employee for those who don't know. I want to make sure this thread stays in the fore front so that it might garner more attention and support but I can't be the only one bumping it or I'm sure it will get locked. So I'm pleading with you all to post there and show support for your class! A few words of support, an idea how to fix SL, or asking for them to fix what they broke...anything you post will help. Here is the where the thread is located:

I thank you, fellow SL, and your profession thanks you!
