Commando Archive

Jsut curious as to what all the marksman were leaning towards...being a bounty hunter or a commando? And why?

def a BH......the commando is nerfed so bad right now its not really worth it.......thats what I have been hearing.......plus he can't really solo on his own, he is more of a battlefield char who can do good area dmg and structural dmg and that kinda stuff (hence the name)

I'm going commando when they fix it. I'm getting close to meeting the requirements as I only need about 30k more combat exp (I know it's a lot but I got 10k in one day) and I need to finish Master Unarmed Specialist or whatever it's called. I think I'm just going to work on my pistoleer skills until the do fix it though.

As for Bounty Hunter, every wanna-be in the galaxy is going this way because of their incredible ranged weapon powers. However, I see very few people actually collecting bounties because as one person put it, "It's hard." Boo-freaking-hoo you shouldn't be allowed to have those powers if you don't collect bounties. Sorry for the rant, but I just wanted my feelings to be known.

hmmmm. it's actually a huge dilemma for me.

I wanted to be a commando. But I've played a broken class in EQ for the past year or so, and it's finally just frustrated me beyond belief (not the class, just the broken-ness and the way SOE handles this kind of thing).

I see the same crap happening with the commando class. I mean come on, how hard is it to fix Acid Rifle certification? How could someone let the class go live without any proper XP giving BASE weapon for the class to use? The worst part of it all is, this stuff has been brought to their attention a LOT, and it continues to get ignored. Classic SOE.

I'm enjoying being a scout as well as a marksman, so maybe bounty hunter. But I dunno, it's not exactly my favorite part of the movies. Boba Fett, IG-88, Dengar ... /shrug ... just not my thang in Star Wars.

So I may just go Rifleman, and work on being a sharpshooter or sniper of some kind. Least that I could RP well, and have fun with and not stress about broken-ness BS.

Go bounty hunter right now. ALl the weapons that commando's use arnt in the game, so thats pretty much makes the commando class useless. Bounty hunter is only missing ligtning cannon. And the commando needs all the weapons it gets certified for at the novice commando level. Going commando right now will give you nothing, and just leave you with 6 used skill points.

definately BH. was going to go smuggler for a bit but came to my senses. I just hope that pc bounty misisons get added

From what I've personally seen, everyone and their kid brother is going Bounty Hunter. Actually, I'll be surprised if anyone is left to RP out the marks.

As for commando being broken I have no clue, but from what my roomie speaks of he follows the BH stuff pretty closely and BH's seem pretty screwed from what he tells me.

I'm in the dilemma as well. Being a Commando just sounds so cool, a person bornfor the battlefield, taking out his enemies left and right.

At least, that's what their supposed to be, since they're not quite finished yet.

But, I want to be a Bounty Hunter because I'm tired of the criminals killing the people I escort, and them attacking people for no good reason. I want to make the galaxies a safer place for everyone, and it would be even better to do this and make a few credits in the process.

So.....I don't know where to go from here. I've got about half of both my Scout and Marksman skills finished, and I know it's going to be a while before I get enough combat XP for either class (man that stuff is hard to get by...ya know, being a loner and all), so I should have enough time to think this all through.

But, my main goal is to hunt down the criminals in the galaxy and make them pay, so far the only way I can do this is through the Bounty Hunter missions.

The lightning cannon is in the game, I saw it. Two bounty hunters were in coronet with them.

Well I'm trying to decide whether to go into bounty hunter or commando and i was wondering if some of u could tell me why u think commando is the better profession (i'm assuming u do think commando isbetter, since u are in fact commandos, but i've seen a lot ofyou complaining that bounty hunteris better).

I'm a bounty hunter, and it takes up so many skill points, soI'm probably going to get rid of it. Commando is my next coice since they are very powerful and a lot less skill points. Master commando is about 15 skill points more than novice bounty hunter. But whatever you prefer. I hope i was helpful

but you gotta look at the 15m range for commando specials with the added 2.5x dmg. That can really hurt a commando.

I havn't played bounty hunter myself, but as a commando i think it is by far the better of the two. Firstly, asa commando you get all the funky weapons that are only usable by commandos - flamethrower, heavy acid rifle, all grenades, rocket launcher not to mention all the other heavy expendable weapons. Commando is an intimidating profession because when u score a hit with your flamer the target is gauranteed to die either instantly or after 5 seconds when the first burning damage over time comes into action. Also if you really want to make sure someone is completely dead, use a rocket launcher on your target and kill em in 1 shot with 30% wounds.

Also, if you become a bounty hunter you are destined to be soloing 90% of your time as u build on the investigation tree... commando is a far more valued team player profession which the enemy have learnt to hate because of their arsenal.
