i know commando has got alot of trouble with its profession but this is what i found when it came to blast damage....

my template.... master commando bounty hunter 0030 smuggler 0440


i made my own blast special hotbar i made this especially for trying to kill nite sisters and since blast one of fewweakness i thought lets try....


i got my self a descent launcher pistol im partially pistol stacked (since i was a former pistol stacker)

beeing able to use low blow, last ditch, eyeshot, bleed shot, and still haveing some speed and accuracy

i armed my self with imperial detonators and bazookas (rockit launchers)


ok im not a medic so i cant rid bleeds or regain my health but i just feign death if things hit the fan..

but we just dont have a a descent blast type weapon that does good solid damage at a constant rate froma normal ranged weapon....


like i could get 64m range of a nite sister out of aggro range and hit them for about 5000-6000damage with the bazooka

but i found the imp detonator useless as u need a tank to keep the things at a 10m distance to be able a not to get caught in ur own blast and to be able to hit them....

my launcher pistol hit for about 700-900 damage with last ditch... (please take note i stack intimidate 1's on them/not a master bralwer)

but for the beeing the kings of blast we still cant match up to swordsman weilding power hammers how the hell do hammer count as blast damage?

yeah i can kill normal sisters but as soon as u go after a higher end sister u have to have a tank to be able to do it ...


only viable tactic i have found is to get at 64m range launch a missle at em do 5k-6k damage then when they get close do a low blow run and then launch another missle but after that its all hassle against protectors i know many commandos go tk but i hate melee why i have only ever mastered ranged and yes call it my own fault and i know hopefully the combat revamp should change all this but whats your opinion on the matter...

1) We are kings of making big boom graphics that induce lag....Lag Troopers!


2) Our Niche suppousedly was Blast, unfortunately Bomb Droids and Power Hammers can do a much better job than we can - and for a fraction of the skillpoints.


Thus, ironically if you were looking for a blast proficient template, commando is not really a great choice - unless if you gomaster pistoleer with some smuggler and/or the BH pistol skills. The LP, despite its lag, is really good with Master Pistoleer, more so than the smuggler pistol skills (with stopping shot and fanshot i can get upwards to 2k a second in blast dmg), however by doing this...theres no real point going master commando as the rocket launcher really isn't worth it and there are no LP skills.


Plus, your template leaves little room for much defenses...which is a necessity for commandos.

commando once was somewhat of a scarypro to meet on the battle field ,now is a laugh and a mockery .

i Look back to the first day i saw a master commando back in sept of 03 when i was nublishus and young at hart i came to the city of Theed and saw a Imperial MC Toasting 3 Rebels with a flame cone and watchen them run like little stuck pigs. From that day i was like im going MC For Lizzife! made it to MC then shortly after that The nerf bat came out and smack us in the face, everbody left MC expect the few that realy loved it and could put up with It More nerfs came ..blah blah you know the rest.. all shut up im just drunk .



-III-

- I support a rollback and keeping & balancing the old combat system.
...and making SWG a better place to be.

yeah i should of really expected as much its just ive defsne stacked pistol stacked been there done it all really... just expected something different (dumb idea).

as for pistol i been pistol stacker before but i still have my smuggler rogue and bh desperado skills ok im not capped and blah blah blah but last ditch by far beeing the best special for pistoleer for pve to only hit 700-900 is feeble i know its all about resists and stuff but if thats the best pve special and only blast weapon which isnt consumable and it can only dish that out.... well thats quite frankly ---- fill in the blanks
