Commando Archive

I have been working on Ranger / Rifleman for awhile and I am not really likeing it at all. I am always getting killed by everything because it seems whatever I shoot at it comes in on me and I get like a -70 to - 90 penalty on point blank. I am thinking of taking the commando route but not sure by listening to alot of complaints on the commando. Can anyone that already is a commando tell me if this is a worthwhile profession. I really like the idea of using heavy artillery and grenades. I was thinking of going the Commando / Tera kasi route.

1) the new patch is not live

2) if you think you die alot now, the current commando will die EVEN more...lol

3) might want to stick with what you know for now and wait and see what happens...

sorry if this seems a little direct however, nothing is set in stone just yet...lots more testing to go.

As a Commando killing stuff,your main and only weapon is the launcher pistol, with the Flame thrower as a back up for reasons unknown.

Had you been here a few weeks ago, the flame thrower was our main weapon for HW xp, as the Launcher pistol gave pistol xp and was pretty much useless, except to Bleed mobs with which you could have used a blaster pistol for as well.

Check out the "considering commando, consider this" post. You'll do a lot more dmg as a rifleman and have more skill points available to you.

The smartest path would be to pick up a pistol. Scoutblasters are cheap and effective and you can climb that tree so fast it'll boggle your mind. Overcharge shot and a scout will help you with those close range problems and not target the wrong pool (mind vs health).

You problem would only be worse as commando. Pistol is easier and more in keeping with what you are trying to do (ranger).
