Hey i just started commando, and im all pumped thinking hey im a COMMANDO i should be able to fight things. Then i get to it, Umm whats wrong with this, anything with an ounce of heat res just laughs at my attempts to attack it. I have a pretty good Flamer too its about 550-1100 and rancors just laugh at me. I was so pumped, i worked all the way to it, thinking ha those nerfs cant be that bad, well i was so far off. hey devs not to be a jerk, but instead of nerfing a COMMANDO whose main goal is to be able to kick the crap outta everything who uses a FLAME THROWER, how about nerfing peopel who use there HANDS. Hmm lets put this in perspective, my hands or a a hot blast of flame, who would win, well this game seems to like to throw resonabilty and common sense through the window cause you get your butt handed to you on a platter if you look at any char the wrong way, a dancer could prolly whoop up on a COMMANDO, devs think about this, give us a good HAR, i mean its a large acid launcher i should be able to spray the rancor down, oh wait nvm it laughs at me again. Well this is just my 2 cents if anyone has any aggrements or flames, feel free to share im just getting the anger out of me cause of the crappy COMMANDO nerf.

You also just started commando. You have to give it some time, some playing time, and A LOT of heavy weapons experience. 
Not sure about post patch tactics, but we used to go up the flame tree first. however, with the heavy acid rifle fixed, maybe that can actually be useful.

It's not that commandos can't solo at all - it's just that every other combat class can do it better.

first off, the problem is that devs made the flamethrower more powerful than the rest of the weapons, so instead of making the other weapons more powerful, they just made us weaker. it makes sense about the changes to the flamethrower, the only problem is that it leaves us with nothing. i would expect something that cold resist the intial blast to be able to withstand any flames from the same blast. sorry, just makes sense that something fireproof shouldn't burn all that well.
how much would you be crying if you were givin a true commando weapon, an assault rifle or the e-web that everyone is screaming for? what would you use the flamethrower for if you had an armor peircing non-expendable weapon? i mean aside from what they are designed for, close-combat against unarmored opponents. the flamethrower never should have been the main weapon of choice for the commando.
wanna kill rancors? you'll have to either wait for some dev love or pick up another class. learn to live with it. or stop attacking the enraged ones, there are rancors that arent 100% heat resist (normal rancors come to mind) if you want to level the commando tree, the flamethrower is still the weapon of choice (its still the only sensible weapon on the list) just grab some bol missions or piket missions or find some other creature that is vuln to fire, you'll notice you can one-shot these creatures, and even if you dont, the burns will take them out.
the remark about the TK being able to kill things we can't is very true. Devs love TK's for some reason (cuz when i think star wars, i think teras kasi... not han solo with a blaster or stortroopers with rifles... no, i think overly powerful ninja) but we arent finished with the devs "combat rebalance" wait til that plays out then you can whine...
im a commando, i've lived through EVERY season of commando. i was a commando in BETA, i grunted through the early days of commando in launch, i enjoyed the "fix" to commandos, making us super-powerful and inviting the dabbler, i lived through the melee dmg modifier nerf, and now im playing through this one. im a commando simply because it makes the biggest explosions, really, i dont do it for any other reasons, i just like watching things explode. until they turn off the particle-effects on my launcher pistol and grenades, ill be a commando.
oh, side note, they haven't "fixed" the acid rifle. they fixed the accuracy and speed mods and the particle effect mods. ...never mind that every other acid weapon in the game is armor peircing, exceptthe commando acid weapons (k, so an acid pistol eats armor better than a heavy acid rifle? right.)

That is funny.. but true I became a commando for that reasontoo... Big guns that blow **edit** up 
As for the Rancors.. get some buffs and they will still die... just takes longer to kill it with the DOT than with a direct hit.
Eventually we'll rule the combat classes....or burn everyone else to a crisp. Just have patience my friends, for good things come to those who wait
