Thread: If defenses arent going to stack...
Whats funny is that we are in almost the same jedi, all offense, no defense(or soI understand), but they are probably going to get revamped while we will probably get ignored. Funny how a class can be around so much longer and get no love.

What prof are u guys playing?
The greatest weapon we own is the rocket launcher. at 55m u can incap in one hit on anything that is not armored... most time even if they are buffed.
Flame Throwers? Why do u want to get up close to a KD? maybe if they rush u... but to use it as yer main weapon....are u nuts? if u cannot afford a rocket launcher, then go with a Particle Beam.. 45-50m and u will cut through armor with these. (AR3 5.3 spd 2300-5k).
Why go to 16m when u can hit from 55 and incap in one hit with the most minimal ham use in the game?
Let me paint everyone a picture of our future once defenses andDoTs stop stacking...
We Commandos are a profession withone workingHigh Damage but slow firing Weapon who's specialsare only usuable at Melee range (16m)....because of our high power we are given low defenses and therefore often dabble to gain more defenses...except defenses will no longer stack...so we will still be forced to Melee range to use our specials, but won't have any defenses to protect ourselves once we get there...We won't be able to stack our DoT so we will have to rely on non-DoT attacks while dealing with speed issues.
Yes we have lots of power, but what good is that power if we have to get up close to use it and we have barely any defenses to protect ourselves...Other ranged professions (not BH) has more defenses then us and they have ranged specials...They don't have to fight at Melee Range...we do...
To sum it up...Imagine a game where we have to get up close to apply a DoT...only one DoT will stack...and that DoT will can be put out with a Fire Extingisher...and thanks to our low defenses we are dead before we get off another special...If you think PvP is difficult for us to win now, it's about to get 100 times worse with all the things the Dev's have planned...
The scary thing is, most of the Dev ideas appear at first glance to be unrelated, but together they effect our profession so severly that it's ridiculous we are the only ones that see it...

This is why we need to fight hard to make the Devs see just how damaging this and the other changes are to our profession...

4Major Issues with the RL and all Consumable Weapons for that Matter...
- The Speed and Accuracy Is Horrible...Typically worse then our FT
- They cost on average 1K per shot and only about 20 shots ever connect per weapon on average
- They can't be used in an indoor invironement (like a cave or building)
- You have to stop and kneel to fire this weapon which puts you in an incredibly vunerable and non-strategic postion. You can't kite with the RL....you can with the FT and OverpoweredShot if you are forced too...

The FT is easily, hands down our best weapon (unfortunate to say)...and all of the flame specials can only be done at 16m or less...The fact that you push the RL so hard over the FT makes me truly wonder what profession you have been playing...
Why go to 16m when u can hit from 55 and incap in one hit with the most minimal ham use in the game?
Maybe the fact that:
- The FT costs less per shot...
- I can fire the FT while running and indoors as well as outdoors...
- Better accuracy...
- Better speed which means I can score more damage faster then waiting to actually hit my target with the RL (and not miss several times in a row)...
- The Flame DoT...
- I've never ever had an issue with HAM use via the FT...
Shall I go on?
