Commando Archive

I am working towards Master Commando and am a little stumped with flameCone1. It doesnt seem to be an area attack, even if everything is aggroing. Can someone explain just how to use this attack (like distance and positioning and such)? Also, if using a pet or a "tankbot" is best, could you explain the best way to go about that? I tried and they went after the bot for a min than me. Thank you.

I usually continuiously walk away (notice i said walk so i dont lose the aggro) from them when everything is aggro on me. Like Garvine said they have to be attacking u first so... attack however u like to start, make sure all the nasties see u, then walk in a direction away from them to get them in the cone which is about a 30 degree radius i think. If u walk I guarantee it'll hit them all tho, I use this tactic to mo- down a base of about 50 rebels and hit nearly everyone one of them (damn -miss- bubbles haha)

Hope this helps

The FlameCone works best, litterly, when have have your targets lined up in a stright line infront of you (or as close to it as possible)...

There is also a known bug with our Cones currently that makes them not hit any additional target beyond the intial one if they aren't aggro'd on us...

The trick I use when doing a FlameCone is to start my attack with a FlameSingle then run backwards away from the Mob...this will cause them to chase me a bit and tends to get them all into the Cone area of attack while chasing me...Then I FlameCone them all...
