To be effective useing the launcher pistol a Commando will have to get skills in the pistoleer profession, skills he will not be able to use with any other Commando weapon, also to gain pistol exp in the pistoleer tree he will have to use a regualr pistol, since launcher pistol will give you heavy weapon exp.


On the TC the launcher has a armor piercing of None = 0. Witch makes it even worse than the FWG5(since its slower, and do less damage, and the special cost is doubble that of the FWG5).


Pretty weak for a rocket fireing weapon.


So what exactlly is the point with the launcher pistol? When its not even armor piercing. Haveing to get pistoleer skills to do deacent damage is just lame.


This is what the launcher pistol on TC looks like right now heh, just makes metink about scrapping the profession all together if the whole profession will be patched together like this.


Bah

Launcher pistols should be at least AR 2. Rocket launchers should be AR3. Since AR 2 and 3 are reserved for "vehicles and big nasty monsters" we should be able to do some major damage to vehicles (since thats supposed to be our specialty and all).

It should be at least AR1, and AR2 would be more reasonable.

You need to shop around. My launcher Pistol is a helluva alot better than my FWG5 pistol. Min damage +20 Max damage +50 and I only have to wait what .3 seconds between firings, and not to mention a pistol I get a positive modifier at MAX range which allows me extra shots before I switch to melee or use warning shot. I can tear up alot tougher mobs with this beauty. Before you label the weapon cuz you found some piece of crap one ... shop around you may find one that puts other pistols to shame.

oh and the HAM cost ... only slightly (less than 10) higher in my action pool... actually lower usage for my mind and health pool

The AR 0 was stated by our TC Commando, thats how it works right now.

Thats very wrong, expecially since the dx2 is ar2 and shoots acid.
