Commando Archive

OK! After months of pain, frustration, ridicule and suffering, we have finally recieved working weapons.

So, how are you doing? Do you feel we are working as intended? Do you enjoy the game more?

For me, it's a totally new experience. After trying to test the profession and getting back to novice within a few days of launch, then sit and watch the endless debates here,I'm having a blast! (Literally) I held back from doing any serious grinding, waiting to see if this fix would really do anything. But in 2 days of play I've filled half the tree and am continually shocked at the improvement. I've even hit for 10k on a tusken and about fell out of my chair.

Now we have a profession to be proud of. To everyone here who's hung on despite the challenge, nice job.

(Pity Garibaldi isn't here, though. He would have loved this)

I am confused as to the purpose of the acid weapon skill tree. Am I missing something or is the flamethrower superior in most, if not all, respects?

HAR needs AP1 and then will be fine.

AP1 for HAR and the LP would be a good step in the right direction.

Depends on the mob 's resistances. Go to Dantoine and you'll be using the HAR and doing nice damage.

I hunt tuskans and use the heavy acid rifle since they have 40% heat resist. The only problem is that the har accuracy you gain at novice doesn't stack with the the accuracy you gain in the har skill line so i tend to miss a bit

Hey,

Doing well so far. I can handily, if not easily, solo a stormtrooper with my FT, and I can generally deal witha stormtrooper and a couple low-levels too, like specialist non-coms, or Imp troopers/medics at the same time.It depends. I just got my first special for FT, but I find the lack of a variety of specials has a silver lining: Full Armor.

In some cases, I use /aim. It may help, the jury's still out on that.

Been using FT more often now, but as I'm only at level 1, I miss 33-66% of the time. Finding more good situations to try FT though, and have hit for up to 3200 dmg on MoBs. Haven't done HAR or and of the others yet. On the Radiant server its difficult to locate many Hvy Weapon manufacturers, and costs for some are pretty steep (asking 50K for a 28 shot Rocket Launcher).

Overall looks good, and I expect accuracy to improve as I advance to Flame3/Acid3.

Commando 0-2-1-1

Pistoleer 0-1-1-1

Im crying with my weapons, i keep buying flamethrowers, getting them sliced by master smugglers and getting 20-27% speed slices.. 4 flamethrowers down the plunker..who knows how many more before i get a good damage slice.

I remeber getting my HAR when i got commando to find that: commando was usless, all i could do was throw it down in my house. But when the patch came i never saw comando notes anywhere but a weaponssmith in my PA gave me a flamethrower, and 3 limited use weapons, I was cutting through imperial NPCs like butter and can't wait to lite peopple on fire in PvP (especally lite their pets on fire and watch them cry [seems cruel but the same things whjooped my but in the past]). I finally think commando has a purpose.

Down with the at-sts!

Finally! Our day has come!*

*The day will actually come when I am a master commando that fires a Rocket Launcher into the dork with the two at-sts mouth, succeeding in a 35,000 damage shot in PVP settings that is so searing to his psyche that he scraps all his skills and become a freelance neutral chef*
