Thread: cant decide which path i should take either bh or commando any advice
if you want to take the "best" PvP char get BH
if you want the highest damaging non charged Heavy Weapon get BH
if you want the guy with the flamethrower (thats all we get) go for commando
if you want to pay 1 -2k per shot then you can also use weapons like the rl (this weapons have very bad acurity)
and even if you kill him with that weapon ... it costed you 2k !! and that person will just respam at the closest cloning facility and keep in mind that the devs think about REDUCING the acurity of the heavy support weapons against non vehicles

I'm along the same route, unsure as to if I want to go Commando for the Flame Thrower, or Bounty Hunter for the LLC and Pistols. Commando leaves me with many more SP, but doesn't have the call that the LLC does.
LLC does half the damage at twice the speed with specials as the flamethrower. It also has AP1. Flamethrower does twice the damage at twice the delay, adds a fire dot, and doesn't have any AP at all.
And whoever said commando's aren't good pvp. Your wrong. We are PURE combat and therefore are better at larger armies. BH can KINDA handle a large mass of enemys, but is better 1 on 1. Thats how I see it anyway.
You nailed it bro, when you figure in the high wound rate,the commando is the better "team" player because he degrades the enemy or decreases their ablility to get back to the battle more effectively. This is where SOE got it kinda right.
A mediocre BH can kick a good commando's butt 1 on 1. This does make sense to me and I accept it.
Buzzy

Actually, that's not correct. LLC does 3/4ths the damage, is more then twice as fast (with LLC IV and a great speed slice, it's possible to fire once per second), and HAS NO COOLDOWN AFTER USING SPECIALS.
In short, the only advantage the flamethrower has over the LLC is the fire DOT. But really, if you can lightning cone II every two seconds, who needs a DOT?
