I started as BH and discovered I hated pee-shooter carbines/pistols and loved the LLC, so I thought why not try Commando - all heavy weapons sounds great. With the new changes to BH pre-reqs easy I have 4 in LLC and got up to 3 0 4 0 in Commado and puchased my first Flamethrower. Similar stats to the LLC 4.2 500ish - 900ish Flamer 4.7 500ish - 900ish both sliced not much difference. So to try it out, full of big expectations, horror of horrors its awful. Time between specials is 2-3 times the LLC and non specials damage lower. The dot is hardly significant as the mob is dead before it makes any real damage. What am I missing here?

You don't seem to be missing anything. In my time I've been both Master Bounty Hunter and Master Commondo. (at different times respectively). The LLC is faster and can out damage the FT the only advantage is the DOT of the FT and like you said it isn't hardly significant for most things but then again in a long battel aginst some of bigger baddies out there who knows the DOT just might be helpfull.

OK I am stunned - I was really looking forward to Commando, one more question, the Heavy Acid Rifle - as it doesnt have aDoT - are the specials as slow as the Flamer?

No. They're slower. Welcome to Commando.

The FT DoT is also useful when engaging multiple targets—kind of a fire and forget sorta thing. Really makes farming faction a whole lot faster when you only have to hit once before you can move to the next target.

maybe I just have a crappy LLC, but I like my Flammer much more, i do 6-11k damage to rebel mobs with my flamer with flame single 2, while with the LLC having extreamly similar stats, the ham cost is harsh and i find myself not using the specials in fear of self-incap (another reason i don't use nades) lighting single 2 does about 6k damage tops, and hits my ham for -334 average
Stats of my weapons:
Flamer

4.6
579-1078

Get the word out and tell your friends. Too many people believe we are so uber that we need a nerf.
And dont even touch the HAR.
