heres my thing, when the game first came out i decided to be a commando and go up in Acid Skill tree first for 2 reasons, Acid COST more XP poitns to advance(Therefor in my mind, should be in SOME WAYS, even if just a little bit better than flame) and also ACID, ouch that not only burns the skin it rots it and makes it bubbly gooey.

So far i am very upset with my choice, OBVIOUSLY after reading the forums Flame is the better first pick, and becuase ive already got my first 175k xp Acid Shot that takes 20 seconds per to shoot and doesnt do near the same dmg of the flame(from what i hear) WHATS THE DEAL!?

Im still using my Launcher Pistol after getting 175k xp for a special shot that i dont think anyone uses.

Talk about screwey profeshion choice!

anyone throw some help my way to comfort my Depressed RAGE?

As far as I can tell acid and flame are very simular in damage. Theres no real big difference in attack other then the damage type. You see its rare to find a Creature/NPC that has defense for both heat and acid damage. So just attack the Creature/NPC with whats it vunerble too.

Actually flamethrowers are better than acid rifles because of the dot factor. Personally I don't know why Acid Rifles don't have a DOT as well.

Like i said, it doesnt make sense. Acid shoudl have SOME advantage over flame or it should be equal cost of XP points, right now the way they have it, flame should cost more than acid cause its obviously better.

Could just be that because Acid is one of the least resisted things in the game that it costs more exp to advance with. Heat is quite common from where I normally go and hunt, but acid is rare from all the places I've seen.

I'm having a hard time myself trying to see whats the point in progressing in Commando past flame4. Why even use the HAR? I have novice pistoleer and can use a DX2, which is actually AP1 !!! Oh the debate continues!

The whole point of the acid rifle is to give the friends you hunt with a break from all the noise you make with the launcher pistol and flamer

hey you can do the math, or maybe u can't. since u called ME the idiot, you add those total's up and tell me which one comes out more

Im just dissapointed cause i read all the posts on how the ppl with flame throwrs are so satisfied with the changes made, i was the HAR user that said what needed to be said, it hasnt changed, and it stills sucks.
