First of all: /sigh

So I was down in some Imperial player city on my server the other day (Im rebel) covert just stopping in to get some missions from the terminal. As I'm selecting missions a flood of imperials come out of the cantina and start taunting me and telling me to "Move along rebel scum." I don't mind that sort of thing, its cool to get in character and stuff. Anyways, one of em challenges me to a duel, so I accept, and... just my luck, a CM. Well, after he poisoned me I was down to 1 mind point, but he couldnt hit it (no other mind attacks I guess) and I incapped him.

After I recover my damage another person challenges me: a TKM. I hate fighting TKM's, but I was in a good mood so I accepted. He wasnt wearing armor and I incapped him with 2 flame single2's (after laying on mybutt dizzy for about 20 seconds). Unfortunately he had about 4 of his croonies healing him while we dueled (quite cheap) and he got up before I could DB or end the duel and Dizzy/KD'd me again... and of course wasted me while I was helpless on the ground.

Here's what bothered me: after the duel he complained that I was cheap because I was using a flamethrower. I just started laughing... I mean, here's a TKM calling me, a Master Commando, cheap for using a flamethrower, go figure. Grr...

He called you cheap? LOL. You should have pointed at his friends healing him during the duel

Heh good story

But its true..

Know how many times I hear "Anyone wanna duel? No flamer" in coronet?....Its almost like "Commandos Not need to Apply"

People have to get over the fact that the FT can do 1-3k dmg instantly in PvP without armor...meanwhile, we can only get in melee...we got at least a 6 sec spd delay - AT LEAST - and at master with a very fast FT...have virtually no defenses compared to other proffessions..got a 50% chance to hit with regular blasts...even without specials..our FTs are still rather slow....FT's dot is pitiful now...the accuracy on FT with a special still sucks...we miss many many times...do I need to go on more?

Only thing it has going is that instant 1-3k dmg..if we're luck enough..itll hit in one ham...and instantly incap..most cases this is not true - why?

Our crappy accuracy..PvP is all about speed...

Counters..we may land 3 hits..but they get countered...thats at least 18 seconds of combat there...

...and with no counters/low defense we prolly wont last that long unless if we got TKA defenses/pistol defenses etc and good armour...

...and speaking about armour...if you do 2.5k dmg...and the opponent has a 60% composite armor...and that applies to heat...thats 1 thousand damage...every 7 seconds (for me)....but...with my LP..i can do up to around 400-500 dmg every 1.3 spd....(i can get upwards to 2k dmg in PvE - using stopping shot of course -..and its sliced for 1.3 spd) on average thats more around 200-300...without resists mind you... but thats at nearly 1/7 (prolly is about 1 spd or less as my pistol speeds apply towards it from marksman) spd...

And then..most PvPers have armour in the 70's to 80's precent..that lowers our FT damage output even more.. to about 500 if 80% composite...and every 7 seconds?? and in potentially random hams?? and against most PvPers..thats IF you hit...

Ppl should be chanting...Dueling commandos only...for god's sake
