Thread: IF the DoT on the flamethrower gets damaged, and Commando gets weaker...see you later SWG
How do you think I feel? I just need one more skill box (Acid Rifle Spec IV) and then I become Master...
I won't have ANY time to enjoy being a Master Commando because of the nerf stick 
Calm down.
Everytime a new patch comes out people read the section devoted to their prof and start crying and whining. I have been a Master Commando for at least a couple of months now and I must say that even if we only get one Flame DoT (i.e. they don't stack) we are still doing pretty darn well in the damage dealing department. Do you honestly need to tick off 3 or 4 Flame DoTs on something to be happy?
There are very few creatures in this game that a Commando can't take down with a couple shots so I don't see why everyone is getting upset about the removal of stackable DoTs. What fun is it to sit there and watch a creatures HAM go down while you do nothing anyways? I would rather hit it with a nice Flame DoT and then keep on firing away using whatever else I have. It might make you work a little harder or fight a little smarter but does that really hurt you?
Honestly.... All these cries of 'They ruined my profession... I am quitting *sob*' get rather tiresome. It's a game (don't forget) and with the DoT removed Commandos are still going to wreak some havoc anyways. If you don't like it because you can't be the l33t3st dewd out there than take your $15 dollars elsewhereand don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
The upcoming patch changes this as you know. Each person can only use one DOT, but a group of anyone ( commando or any profession ) can still all attack you and all use a DOT.
If a pistoleer attacks you with bleed and another does at the same time.. you'll still bleed faster. Whose fault is it you're fighting two people while you're alone ? We've all been in that situation if not much worse.
I'm a commando and have used flame DOT and still after a long grueling 10 minute duel been beat, although it was close. Every professions has its own advantages.
Of all the classes I really think Combat Medics have the most unfair advantage. They can poison you from 40 meters and run away while you die and then come back and deathblow you. That's not Pvp.. thats' boring and there isn't even any fighting.
Yes, I know I could choose to become a combat medic myself.. but its really just a cheap easy way profession. Poisoning people and running.. wow.. alot of fun there..
next patch changes do not affect the commando in pve (unless the CURRENT TC flamer 90% dot damage reduction goes live... see maddogs post about this).
but it does make it totally useless in pvp. remember, dot will do nothing to atsts, will do nothing to players using that chef food of 90% damage reduction per 5 hits (read: flamespecial does jack squat), the fire extinguishers (read: dot neutralized).
pick up pistoleer, 'cause the LP has now officially become the only working commando weapon for pvp. let the Lag begin.

I know im definetly not alone on this matter. If Star Wars Galaxies proceeds with its patch, I will have no other choice but to leave this game. My friend is also with me on this. The part that scares me about him is that he works for IGN PC, and a bad article on the game could sure hurt the future customers of SWG. He is a dedicated commando like myself, and ruining the elite class of commando would render this game useless to many. I can sit here and argue that other proffesions involving weapons are just as strong if not stronger, but we all know the facts, no need to go any further.regards,Robert
OOOhhh you might get your friend to write a bad article huh? Oh yeah.. I'm sure the devs are scared, I sure am. What ever will become of our game if this guy gets his big bad influential imaginary friend to say bad things!
*sarcasm*
It's not so much the dot nerf cause really I do support it but for a PISTOLEER to outdamage us????
DPS *damage per second* whether just for PvP or PvE should be ours lock stock and barrel....
This crap they are spoon feeding us is BS and they know and do not care and I suggest all of you write to lucasarts about this!
If they gave use accuracy and a bit more speed on the weapons I'd be fine with this since a dot shouldn't win the battle but to completely and totally nerf the commandos so all their weapons are no better than a stinking acid rifle is BS BS BSSSS!!!!!!
