Thread: How good is this for pvp?
The lack of any accuracy and armor piercing on most of the weapons means your commando skills are only good in pvp against nakedartisans, entertainers in flimsy outfits,and noobs.
Try tka/doc/rifleman like everyone else.
I've been pretty stunned at how hard it is to hit/damage high level NPC's and creatures as a commando. Another issue is that our launcher pistol, which has some AP ability makes it impossible for your melee group members to see and drops their framerates to nil. So, it stays in my holster and I have to use the F/T even when it doesn't make much sense. The DoT ends up doing more damage than the shots, and I get very little XP.
I'm thinking I might have a role in base assaults, although it seems that a master riflemen with a T21 is still probably better and doesn't have to spend a thousand credits per shot.
I'm having fun though, and I also have TKA, but I've maxed the meditation line, and am taking as much of the other lines as I can. It is nice to be able to switch over from one to the other as the situation dictates. It is also nice to be able to heal bleeds, poisons and diseases... and force of will is nice when it works too.
