OK, so lets summerise here a second. We have a variety of weapons, all of which have recieved some downgrades since release. The disposable weapons used to typically have around 100 charges each, thats been dropped to an average of around 30 so now they're perfectly for when you want to shoot money at people. 1500c per shot almost. Not exactly what I'd call cost effective consideringtheir 50/50 chance of hittingon many occasions. Then you have the LP, which as we know had to be downgraded because it was possible to put to power handlers into them. So those are weaker now. Now we also have the flamer, admittedly overpowered to begin with due to the DoT but now thats been cut as well.
So what does that leave us?
Well you have the HAR, inaccurate and slow. You'd probably get more DPS from one of the better guns we can use as a marksman and finally you have the grenades, accuracy so low that a 6yr old skipping rope would be impossible to hit... thats assuming we were standing actually WITHIN the blast radius to actually ensure that it hits. But we know it won't. An area of effect weapon which has less chance of hitting than any other weapon in the game.
Put simply folks, there's nothing left to nerf. Things can only get better from now on

of course they can nerf us more.
they can make our rocket launcher fire water balloons and our launcher pistols shoot out a little stick with a 'BANG' flag.

Hey think of it this way, at least there isn't any protection against water damage if they do that

Lol, the sad thing is, I think this will happen, and at the same time, increase our timer to about 45 seconds. Folks, things aren't going to get better as long as TH is around. He says he's a commando, but then he comes on our boards and has no understanding of our BROKEN profession. I think he's still a TKM. Remember, he said he would push for TKA changes back in the day, because he played that class and understood its problems. Now, TKM's rule the galaxy, commando is the laughing stock (pikemen got some more accurate weapons now, thus making commando the worst combat profession in the game), and TH, ruler over all, the magnificent, the golorius, the supreme, declares that this is the order of things, for I, TH hath spoken, and deemed all commandos to be slain.

Heh, think about that Our dot is worthless now so the fire extinguisher is a stupid and pointless idea. It'll have the usefullness of a proton nade

Not only can they NERF us more, but I almost guarentee they will...The NERF cries have already started about the initial damage the FT does now with no recognition of the DoT reduction and the restrictions...
The Devs will hear the NERF Herders over us as they often do and we'll see that initial damage reduced probably by patch 7....
By patch 8 maybe we'll start seeing improvement...But I STRONGLY believe it will get worse before it get's better...

Or every commando can quit thier account and give the devs a real kick in the ass so they wake up ? just a suggestion realy.. im about ready to quit since this patch just showed that they have no intention on fixing us. Rather they want to make a STAWARS game all melee. Loser devs... great title to work with, but no brians to back it up.

I wish it couldnt get worse however, people are still whining about us, and there is a fire extinguisher coming for an already worthless DoT anyway so who cares bout that anymore?
I would be very afraid with this new combat rebalancing. The next phase of it is weapon rebalance sowe're screwed.

Rifles useless at close range?! BS. Im a master rifleman and i geta +170 accuracy bonus, I can hit anything at any range from 0 to 64m.
Your really missing the whole point of the post. If you bother to read the initial post, you'll see that a lot of things are broken in commando, just like alot of other professions. The heavy acid rifles are useless, the rocket launchers cost around 50k credits each, miss half the time and you only get 30 uses out of them. Your more likely to kill yourself with a grenade then the creature your trying to kill. So your crying nerf cause a commando can do 12k damage in one hit with a heavy weapon that has no AP? On most harder level mobs with descent heat resist and armor you will not kill in one hit, and then you have to wait 10 seconds to fire off another special and since you need to get fairly close to use Fire Single 2, you are within melee attack of the mob during that time, so unless you have stacked defenses from another profession you are going to be taking some major damage till you can get another shot off. Stop crying on our forum and go cry for imporvements to your professionin the swordsman forum.
