Commando Archive

I've been a Master Commando for nearly a year now, reveling in the joys of super high damage weapons. Pre-CU I had always been MC/TKM which was great. Now that the CU has hit I've begun changing my template to Carbineer. No problem. Picked up a nice new Plasma flamer, which of course is a Master level weapon, dealing about 410 DPS adjusted unsliced. Fine, sounds like nice damage. Since I had to finish grinding out Carbineer I picked up an Elite Carbine (No prerequisite certs)...quite a nice one, sliced doing around 390 DPS adjusted as a 4440 Carbineer. I get to Dath, grinding on lvl 75 malklocs (a good grinder for a CL76 character like myself) and find that this low-level carbine is outdamaging my Plasma flamer by 300-500 pts per shot using the exact same attack! Has anyone else had this problem? If the Commando weapons are going to be outdamaged by normal profs, what is the appeal?

There is no appeal. You will always be outdamaged, and outclassed by other ranged profs. Drop it and move on is my only advice..
