Thread: WHY SHOULD I BECOME A COMMANDO
Hey commandos,
I am on my way to become a commando just need to pick up a decent rifle so I can finish off the rest of rifle specialist. I was just curious what it is that makes being a commando so great. Is it just the awesome weapons that we (looking ahead) can use?
If that is the case I have a concern, it is called the laser rifle. As I said I have been looking around for a rifle and I saw some guy selling one its dmg was 150-420 and its speed was 4.3 and laser rifles have medium armor piercing. Now I must say that is an exceptionaly well made rifle, but even the lower end lasers are pretty up there stat wise, and that particular weapon was by far the best weapon I have seen in the game. Granted I have not looked around to much at flame throwers, acid beam rifles, or rocket launchers yet, but I have seen a couple as I know I will need one. Saw a flame thrower 110-205 speed 5.6 and no armor piercing. Now that pretty much pales in comparison. Can you guys tell me was that just a really crappy flame thrower? Or does it do something really cool like set enemies on fire and constantly do damage to them or something.
The most annoying part about this is that the cert for laser rifle is like in expert rifle or something. It is not even in the forth level of novice marksman. It seems like a weapon this powerful should not even be achieveable if you become a rifle man. Look how hard we (looking ahead again) commandos have to work for using our heavy weapons that don't even do as much damage as a laser rifle that a novice marksman can wield.
Please tell me if I am missing something here, or should I just become a rifle man?
well launcher pistol is neat looking and fire pretty much fireworks.
and flamethrower is good for chef(seriously), can cook a nice BBQ in 20 second flat.
I like nothing better than a deep fried calamari... yummmmm.
Couldn't help but notice your handle, you should become a commando to keep from being 'toasted'....
That was a crappy FT. Whether you become a commando or rifleman depends on your playstyle, as they both play VERY differently.
Commandos are very high damage, but they are also very slow, and most of their weapons have charges. Their weapons have poor accuracy and are slow, but again have very impressive damage. Commandos also receive no status (blind, stun, dizzy, etc) effects.
Riflemen are also very high damage, and are also quite slow. However their weapons don't have charges, their accuracy is much better, and they get VERY fast at Master. They get some status effects, and have attacks that can target the unhealable mind pool directly. However they suffer severe penalties at close range, so they are not an in your face class like Commando.
Lol, I like that I could be the upset marshmallow who goes around toasting people
also you can toast a rifleman in 1 shot without special due to the fact that rifleman take 3x damage from a flame thrower attack.
and the food list goes on
"Fried Wookie wonton, BBQ beer-can Rodian, Trandoshan on a stick under a slow flamethrower".

Yeah, that 3x damage is a bug though, which hopefully will be fixed soon.
is it? I thought holo did a post on flame thrower because it's was counted as a melee weapon due to the short range on the specials.
"more Imperial fried food list. Deep fried bothan roll with vegatables. and the reason master chef should get access to flamethrower... They need it more than commandos... probably use it more too.
