Commando Archive

I was roleplaying and hunting with a Commando today, and he was rippin people apart that I had trouble with. I, though not out the Novice Marskman or Brawling tree, into the Elite ones--I am specialist in all fields as of now, and nearing the ability to become a Pistoleer(Though I don't want to be one). Commandoes aren't as bad as people on the forum are making it, though it needs to be fixed.

The Primary gun crap is horrible--but you can still do as much damage as anyone great marskman, or Advance leveled Elites or Experts as a Novice Commando.

Yeah if we DON'T use the weapons/specials of our class we can do decent dmg. Take away the class specific weapons and we're master marksmen. And a master marksman can't compete with an elite class who would expect them to so ummmmmm what weapons/specials was your friend using exactly? I'll guarantee they we're commando if he was doing decent dmg. Even the launcher pistol (our class pistol) can be out-damaged by a fwg5 pistol specialist cerfitication.

weren't commando even

This one time I saw this one guy with this one weapon and I was all like WOAH!! I mean he killed this one guy that had this one gun BAM he was dead just like that! That proves that commandos are just fine because anecdotal evidence overrides dps ratios,combat logs,resist tables, and AR that doesn't even work.

Sorry I'm bored

Sorry dude, you are wrong about exaggeration.

I can easily do more damage with my FGW5 than any of my heavy weapons. I just spam over chargeshot2, thats 400 to 600 points of damage every 1.9 seconds. There is no commando weapon that puts out that kind of damage, and "OCS2" is just a "Master Marksman" skill.

Tell you what, become a Master Marksman, master unarmed, get the 40k combat xp, train as a Commando, then run around trying to find a flamethrower, acid rifle, and launcher pistol.....get to flame 1 spend those points and dump them into Acid Rifle, and try out the Acid Rifle as well, then compare the dmg a launcher pistol does compared to a good scout pistol then and only then you have the right to come on here and say we are exaggarating. However I sincerly doubt you will do that, more then likely you will jump on the BH bandwagon. I dropped BH cause I would rather suffer though a gimp class and hope for a fix later then be on a bandwagon profession that spams knockdown styles. Now thats skill.

It's no exaggeration. Commando's are in a seriously sucky state as they stand now. I've been a Novice Commando for 4 weeks now and have yet to train ANY of the skill tree except Novice Commando. Sure I could have gotten Tactics I by now, but why waste that combat xp on Grenades that are utterly worthless, when I can go get an Uber skill like Pistol Melee defense in the Pistoleer tree?

I am still very skeptical about the "fixes" for Commando. As it stands on Eclipse, with the lack of resources to make heavy weapons on a regular basis, it is pretty much impossible to get HW xp...I have thus far amassed a whopping 70 HWXP.....70.....

I was ripping up creatures hand to hand outside Wayfar and people thought that the Commando profession was so uber! They were say, "Commando seems fixed now." People just don't understand that the things I'm doing have absolutely no bearing on Commando at all... I was simply using TKA skills with the Commando tag on.

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I used my flamethrower.

Yeah, but the Launcher Pistol is, at the very least, an impressive sight to behold.

OOoooooOOOoooooo..... pretty lights.

I can easily put on my "Novice Commando" title and equip my FWG5 pistol and everyone will think commandoes kick ass.

Agreed, as stated beforethat guywasn't playing a commando, he was playing whatever other profession who's skills he was using.
