Commando Archive

On friday I had the most fun playing this game since launch, when everbody had newb characters. My story starts on lok, I found a master doc and said to myself, "OMG, the last time I did pvp was beta, I need to get it together." So I asked him for some buffs and he said 5k plz. withinn a minute my health was over 3k and all other stats near to that. I got on shuttle went to bestine starport -> anchorhead shuttle -> recruitment officer -> *moun gold high* ->bestine shuttle. I got lucky with my port as there were no imps near the shuttleport. A ran into the center of town and saw three red dots on my radar. One was trapped in the bank area (confident I wouldnt have to deal with him for at least 30 secs. Immediatly charged by a master pistoleer, /kneel, fired a 43m shot from HPC and dropped him with a beautiful shot to his mind (2.5k dmg). next guy comes rushing from cantina, flame 2 to his health and he's down in after one tick. Tired of waiting for imp in bank I rush in a get quick draw with flame 2 dropping him in 1 (he was camping with a flame, so I got luck). 10 more dead imps and 1 at-st later (hate to kill those, but was not left with a choice) I was db'd by an eye shotting BH, inevitable. (so no matter what I hear, now I know that commando is an afffective pvp force)

you took out an at st on your own ??

how ?

flame dot is powerfull .. but the at-st will kill you even with buffs within 20 seconds ...

yes, tasius armor is composite made by a player named tasius (retired, dont send him tells as he no longer takes orders). I realize that armor can go over 50%, however my stats are perfectly set to a 49% encum (a little slack for bad slices for when I get a new set), so hence I am not interested in anything over 49%.

off topic: for the post that said novice BH can beat commando I would have to disagree. An expert commando should have 75% chance of killing a master BH without taking more than 500 dmg. at around 45-60m your HPC that is your chance of hitting (I've recently been lucky with this and had very little trouble dealing with BH's)(fyi, my HPC is sliced to over 4k dmg)

This is why commandos need to be nerfed Nobody I repeat Nobody should be soloing citys

Hold up, Pump your breaks my friend!! You said that Commando's should be nerfed because one guy used good tactics to take out 10 imps? Ive seen the player named Samus, who's a bounty hunter on the flurry server take out many people in bestine. This guy will march through bestine without fear, and eyeshots any all who stand in his way. And his buddy Kal(Combat Medic) takes out scores of imps with his poisin attacks. So it's possilbe for one guy to come in a city and and wreck havoc! Im tired of these nerf cries, Im a commando and I can get killed just as easy as anyone!! Remember each time this guy did a special he wasn't allowed to do anything for 15 seconds. If you cant kill him in that 15 second delay, then you deserve to die!!!!

tactics or no tactics, this guy had to be lucky to catch morons in bestine that day....

a master pistoleer getting hit with a HBC shot causing 2.5k dmg while he's walking by?! in order for one to actually hit, either you have to be lucky OR the guy had to be standing still!

and people getting killed by flame s II while they're coming out of the cantina? either they're blind or stupid.... (or didnt see their radar)

either this guy found idiots in bestine, or is making most of this up (oh, do tell about the at-st since it takes alot of time for one to die from burn...the guy wouldve been able to clone, come back, and order it to fire on you again + db you)

I hate these posts, its just the fuel the nerf whiners need to start their fires.

Hmmm well yea he was lucky. If I find people unprepared and disorganized then I cna do this but once people start paying attention or people who like PvP show up I ma toast.

Good armor on his oponents would have helped... prevents one hit kills. People still burn but if there is a good Doc around that is not a problem. And people let him get ot 16m. Repeatdly. This does not indicate a high lvl of professionalism.

I just had a night where I went against a combat medic/doctor, a smuggler/commando, a carbineer, and a BH over and over in Anchorhead. I was giving as good as I got mostly but I died a lot. This makes it sound easy but with good enemies your going to loose a lot.

I do agree wiht the AT-ST though they are really not that hard to kill. Especial if your close...they miss a lot when your practicly under them. They might incap you but your gonna do a lot of damage before they get you... especial if you have decent armor and a shield.

Also if you jsut Incap the owner of hte AT-ST and then work hte pet by steppiing in and out of 64m range with a good rifle or a rocket launcher you can kill one pretty easy. NOt a thing the owner can do about it. Cant recall or command it while incapped and ever time you step out of 64 m it looses agro...well aproximatly 64m. Give or take a few =). YOu can also have a partner time the Incap so you know right when to hit the owner again as he stands =). Not very nice but useful.

Hardly any one brings out the AT-ST on our server any mroe except for base defenses and hunting on adventure planets. If you bring one ot Anchorhead you are asking to lose it. Also they don't really need it... most of them are so effective on their own no one needs ot use them.

Plus he didn't "solo" bestine, he had a doctor, a smuggler, and a medic help him at one point down the line, he couldn't have done it otherwise....so he he absolutely didn't solo the town

A high-level commando can solo an ATST with few problems if they're intelligent about it - you can either take the direct approach, as the original poster did (which requires a deal of luck, since you could end up taking 3 1k shots to the same pool, and you're toast), or you can coast at the edge of range and use expendables. Even better is a Commando with CH 1-1-0-0 or better. Just send in a pet with 8k-9k HAM to soak up the agro while you tag the As*hat (AT-ST) with the stackable flame DoT's, and it'll be down in no time flat, especially if you just let your pet get shredded and retreat out of the asshat's agro range.

I started 100m away from at-st (just db'd the owner, who commanded at-st to attack my freind, who died in one shot leaving me as the only reb there)

1: flame shot 2 on at-st
2: at-st hits health for about 950
3: at-st hits action for over 1000
4: flame shot 1 on at-st
5: at-st hits health for about 900
6: at-st hits mind for about 1000 (moun gold saved me)
7: flame cone 1 on at-st
8: at-st hits health for over 1k
9: I'm incapped

all the flame dots are stacked and at-st died promptly. I was not slain by at-st because a covert reb hit me with a stim. fyi, I was wearing 49-59% tasius armor and a 43% energy protect shield generator.

Yes, I'd like to hear that one as well. Even if your flame eventually burned the AT-ST to death, it should still easily be able to kill you first.

What is Tasius armor? Never heard of it?

I have heard of Marine Armor - Composite etc.

Never knew armor could get over 40%.
