Commando Archive

I hit some guys DarkTrooper pet for 8856 points of damage tonight with Flame Single II. I was one shotting players left and right in Theed, and even if I didnt kill them outright with a special they would keel over 3 seconds later when the Flame DOT kicked in. I truely believe that no DEV actually picked up one of these Commando weapons on Test or their internal test server and fired one.

Because if they had this never would have gone live. Seriously folks, enjoy it while you can because were gonna get beat down with a nerf bat.

I'm seriously convinced that some DEV just threw random numbers on the weapons and pushed them to test center. There is no way these weapons should have gone Live as powerful as they are. I am a Commando, don't get me wrong I want our class to be good and FIXED. But the changes they pushed are so stupid that 2 seconds of testing could have brought them to light. Seriously when is the last time you saw any player hit for 8000+ damage? Or one shot another player in PvP since they implemented the 755 reduction? I was hitting players for 1500+ damage with Flame Single II tongiht.

I agree that the damage they upped the commando/bh weapons to is very rediculous, however a commando should be able to do a lot of damage. Some ways to balance this pvp wise would be to make a start up delay on anything considered a heavyweapon. As pvp stood pre commando pump a 1v1 would last almost a minute with very many shots being fired. No one should be able to one shot kill another player in this game. There should also be a defense penalty on any player getting ready to use a heavy weapon seeing and how anything using a "cannon" should not be as agile as someone using a pistol/carbine/rifle.

Also, why do bounty hunters get a heavy weapon type? Shouldnt they be sniping their targets not blowing everything up within a 100 yard radius?

Possibly. But, I look at it this way. For as long as commando was broken, you guys/gals deserve some serious enjoyment in the game. Carpe Diem, and never look back. heh

i dont know bout u but i always thought that when a flame hit u and caught fire.... you are perty much dead and that is flame 2! if it was flame 1 i would agree whit u

the commando's about to become the class of idiots and jackasses alike

i need another underpowered class to flock to.. they could've tried to balance the weapons before they let them out..at least make the rare metals still be in schematics to put some kind of limit on these powerful weapons.. ch +commando is going to be a bit too much

ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR

DON'T PVP WITHOUT ARMOR... people who do are moronic!

ar3 on most new commando weapons..

they just fixed the **edit** class they should go breaking it again if the imps have there 1 hit kill at-st the commandos should be fine how they are now not that i have had a chance to try yet cant find a weapons smith on valcryn

Hmm..I dont think so cause my friend just did FS2 to a I think a gnort and did about 3k. With my Heavy Acid Rifle AS2 I did a max of 4900 to a correlia butterfly drone. In PvP I wasnt one shooting anyone with either weapon(i'm 1,1,3,4). True Flame dot was good but no worse than someone putting on a Health shot,Mind shot,action shot bleed or heck Bounty Hunters own Flame Fireknockdown DOT.

i dont care about theory..

dmg is far too much.. expect EVERYONE to be a commando soon..

the only thing im thinkin of to offset the dmg is the nice long delay.. its long.. but long enough? i dont know.. and the cost.. removing specific metals lowered the cost was a bad plan i'd say..

only time's gonna tell..

Hmm...15sec delay highest miss rate of all the weapons at MASTER level and I have YET to see someone or myself do those "high dmg" . You know what? I think the devs cant get those high dmg also thats why they didnt post anything. With the T21 it was almost immediate when they said " We fixed the T21 and we're scared"

Starting to think most of the people posting dmg above 5k~6k with the Flamethrower/HAR are just using photoshop.
