Kind of hard for a BH to spam anything once you use intimidate on him. It is quite effective in screwing up peoples accuracy, damage output, and defenses. I know a few MBH's that take up novice brawler for this reason, that and warcry.

It depends on the player.

Depends on whether or not you are wearing a good acid resist composite helmet or not, and whether you land your flamesingle 2 on the first shot. If you meet those two recquirments, you might win. If the BH runs around spamming eye shot, yer dead....

More importantly, is this group or solo PvP your talking about.


If you offer a duel to a MBH, expect to be waking up in the clone center if the person know's what they are doing. They will move as far away as they feel is needed (64 meters) accept duel, and you'll be on the ground from having taken a beating long before you ever close to 16 meters to actually use the FT for something useful.


If it's "I bumped into a Overt BH, as I stepped off the shuttle" then it's possible you might win. If you got your special off, and then got yourself out of range till they dropped, or the Flame DOT incapped them, before they could DB you, and you got up first (yes, the DOT does incap still) then maybe you win, if not, if you landed the DOT, you can be assured that you'll be ready for the next battle walking out of the clone center in better shape than they are wound wise, even if they did win.


If it's group PvP, you have more than a fighting chance. Let others engage first, then sneak up and zap as many as you can, while retreating the moment after you fire that special. Any you managed to hit, will shortly be out of commission, and there pet(s) will be at your mercy. Just remember, your a high damage support class in PvP, and you'll do well.

They don't...they die...


Commandos have to be within 16m to fire their only attack that does anything...flame single/cone.


On the way from 64m to 16m, the BH fires knockdown, dizzys (can't get up), and eyeshots in a rapid fire sequence until you are dead.


To add insult to injury, a BH might also place the commando on fire(yes BH's have fire too, that is even more effective than ours) before they commence eyeshotting.



The ONLY way commandos have any effectiveness in PvP is to have a large group to distract the opposing players, to run in quickly and flame, and run away to await the 10 to 15 second delay.

BHs are designed for PvP, commandos are focussed towards PvE. That doesn't mean they can't mix it up a bit but when it gets down to the crush a BH isn't nearly as handy in a PvE encounter and a commando isn't nearly as good in PvE (unless supported by a group)

Well 1-1 we get owned, by pretty much everyone. But in a group, we are the giant leg. We kick them in the groing hard enough to break their cup imo. If you are smarter than the average commando.

Give the commando a rocket launcher and the BH is dead. Unless he misses of course. Then the commando is going to get eyeshot spammed to death.

Am I the only commando in the universe that uses RL's? They work great.
