Ive started my 3rd holocron which is to become Master Commando...Now that I have become a Novice Commando and i get buffed, put on my good Advanced Comp Armourand do some solo missions(i.e Sharnaffs) and im being single/multiple attacked by them I am losing lots of health...Why is this? before using unarmed/sword/rifles etc I would only incur small amounts of damage and would naturally health myself before the next round of attacks. I checked the combat window and it says that my armour absorbed 80%+ damage. Am I getting damage from my flamethrower?

Thanks in advance!

Have you checked your hit/miss ratio? Moving up the Commando ranks you are probably giving up your rifleman/swordsman skills and possibly losing Ranged and Melee Defenses which leads to you being hit more...Also Commandos have a lot less defenses then those other professions which could lead to more damage.

Another thing to consider is that your speed of attack was much faster with those other professions then it is with Commando. Many people don't realize that, even though we appear to have huge initial shots, if you compare DPS (damage per second) other professions often out damage us which leads to fights ending faster (and inturn means you take less damage).

The FT shouldn't be doing you damage (besides a little HAM cost for the specials)...Grenades on the otherhand will damage you...

Please let me know if any of this helps...

sharnaffs should NOT be the prime choice to solo...regardless of armor..at novice...if you want some good XP...try the leviasqualls or what i did - the Tortons! on rori with the flamer

also yeah...we get virtually NO defenses while we're leveling up commando...we only get them basically at master...which is simply stupid as the other proffessions steadily increase slowly by slowly, their mods..defenses included..with us..we're weak save for damage right up until we hit master...

Becouse you now dont got melee mitigation.Mitigation 1 2 and 3lowers an attack from 300 to 150 and Commandos only get ranged mitigation.
