Thread: Need some PvP advice
Hello ~
I've decided to pick up Commando to help suppliment my PvP, but I can't figure out which branch to go with. With my template I could go with two branches at most, but I'd prefer to keep it down to one branch.
Do any of you people have any suggestions for me? What branch(es) of commando is/are good for PvP and for what reason?
The only other tree to consider is Heavy Weapons Support, which gives you the rocket launcher, particle beam cannon, etc. Those weapons are exceptionally useful and powerful in PvP. Both are AP3 and can do more than 3000 base damage, or close to 6K damage against an unarmored opponent for a virtually guaranteed 1 hit kill. The downside is that they are extremely picky about range, so you have to use them in precicely the right circumstances. Furthermore, they're charged weapons, so you'll burn through quite a few credits using them.
If I were going to take only 1 tree, I'd take the Flame Thrower. It's useful in both PvP and PvE, the DOT is very good, and it'll make people think twice about using thier Revenge TEF or load ganking you if they know they'll have you coming after them with a wound cannon.
