Thread: Using Commando as a Support in pvp
I’m getting bored with this game and almost considering playing WoW. Does anyone knowhow well aMC/MCM template would work? (And throw some points in another profession for damage and specials) I am interested in this profession because of the sick weapons, grenades, and rocket launchers. Being able to revive and heal would be a plus, but would the lack of damage and specials make me a walking target?

I don't know about Master Commando / Master Combat Medic. Commando relies very heavily on other ranged combat professions. MCM provides no specials that can be used with Hvy.Weaponry.
What I have seen work wonderfully in my experimentation is M.Commando / M.Pistoleer / Carbineer 0440.
You get most of the "Puppeteer Specials" and if used in conjunction with area weapons, namely the Flamethrowers, a Commando can inflict many useful states on multiple targets.
In group PVP, the Commando can get by if very careful. Well placed, well timed Flamethrower streams can screw with the opposition (namely lag?).
In 1 vs 1 fighting or duels, that's where I have problems as a Commando. Damage output to me isn't high enough and the defenses are bad.

I have a Master Smuggler, Master Commando, Combat Medic 4000 char and it is just GREAT in PvP Support.
Especially in group fights with a rocket launcher you can control entire groups of enemy players by knocking them down with standard ranged attack, root them to prevent escape and rip larg groups of enemies apart to let the riflers / melee tanks finish them off.
Knocking people down is like putting a "death mark" on them which results in whole groups to swarming to them for the kill.
Commando and espeically Rocket Launcher is a great class.
IMHO CM 4000 is enough. Ranged heals and are heals are very welcome in all groups.
