Thread: Commando not so hot?
I have just started the commando profession and while I understand that commando doesnice damage in both PvP and in PvE I have decided that I am going to drop commando because I dont like the insane cost of commando weapons and what I hate the most is that commando weapons have a very slow rate of fire. A master pistoleer/commando with a launcher pistol is very good but I dont have the skill points for both pistoleer and commando.
A master commando told me commandos do have a slow rate of fire so it helps tohavea pet as a tank for you when yourin PvEbut I dont like the idea having to use a creature as a tank just.
Good bye commando profession.
The slow rate of fire comes from specials. By Flame 4 you have +45 speed to your Flamethrower and if you have a nice speed sliced Flamer (3.5 seconds or so) then you'll end up with about 1.9s per shot which is most definetly not slow 
I also noticed in my Commando days (I also dropped Commando) that with Flame 4 and the speed sliced Flamer, I could fire off a FlameSingle2 every 6-7 seconds, and I'm not kidding.
Dont do it, commando is weak at the beggining. But once you getflame 4 you will own in pvp. I beat Bounty Hunters all the time. Commando is the profession where you get to punish people for their stupidity. By frying anyone within a 15meter radius
i say dont do it but as u say were not that hot were r only rily good at tef range and tef is bing removed i hear in next pach im a master commando and ya i have speed mods but still we r slow i dont now wats up with them saying im fast i wish i were but um helo im not maby thos mods r buged at master c i was master befor the pach we have alot of bugs and stuf r acid rifels ham cost dose more dame to u then it puts out dam if there wereing comp armor it will if ur lucky do 200 dam

The feedback so far is true to my experience as well. Your commando skills aren't any good until the 3rd box on the branch in question. Once you get to the 4th box, you'll see why people like commando.
I am only at 0010 and am already very satisfied with the set of complimentary skills that commando has given me. I look forward to Flame IV, but my basic commando skills i.e. a launcher pistol is great. I have hit up to 5000dmg in one shot with that thing. Getting 1000+ damage in PvP with an added explosion really freaks people out.
