Commando Archive

This is just my opinion of what I think would make commando a more interesting class to play, as opposed

to a "we got 2 specials class". First of all it would be nice to fix the small bugs which I beleive will be fixed

soon, I would also like it if the HAR went to ac1. Finnaly, I think master should be far more revarding then it

is. We all know this is a problem with all classes, so we are not alone there. Anyways, this is how my skill

tree would break down.

A Few Side Notes

All The special abilitys on grenades only effect the target all radius damage is pure damage no status effects(except proton grenade)

I realise that a % (IE 50% chance to blind) isnt how it works I think it would be more like 30 points to blind which would be but against all applicable defence to blind modifiers.

Also I dont know if a armor debuff is doable in this game but I think it would be an ability that would make us very valuable for groups.

I realize this might make us a bit overpowered but I'm sure it could be toned down to a resonable leavel. The debuff Idea for the HAR came from the description of HAR 4 also as A side note when doing a acid debuff special you can not change wepons till the effect is over with. If you read all this thanks let me know what you think or what could use improving.

HW 4

Shoulder Fire Accuracy/Speed +20 Cert Rocket Launcher

Ummm you obviously mustn't be a commando because no commando would ever say this....this is our MAIN anti AT-ST weapon, to only give it paltry speed and accuracy mods is completely retarded and I would never want to see this in game.

And the whole idea of the falmethrower would ruin PvE.....no DOT for flamesingle 2? No way, the delay on it is suicide if it doesn't do extra damage in our downtime we're screwed....remember, this game DOES NOT revolve around you PvPers out there.

All the heavy wepons went under shoulder fire instad of all having a seperate speed and accuracy for all of them I fail to see the problem you acctually get more speed and accuracy that way.

2 how many times does the dot tick before you get to fire again?

I currently have FT 4 and I fire again before the first tick of the dot

You are however entitled to your own opinion but I dont think a massive damage/dot should be avalible going up one tree of a profession. Master needs to be worth getting. I dont think any proffesion should be limited to 1 do all end all move its just rediculious.

Like i said its just my opinion you dont have to like it...its not like it will ever happen thats just my idea of a fun way to do the commando tree. Also they do need to give some sort of cure for burns like apply salve around the same lvl medics get cure poision.

I just tested in game with my FT I get at least 2 more shots off before the dot from flame single 2 tics. The whole idea is to make the acid rifle usefull. Use it at range to pull and then toast em with your flame thrower at close range. The debuff would have to be on a 30 second timer like the kd attacks though and mabey decrease the duration to 6 seconds and allow people to switch weapons. That way you could pull with it and then get 1 or 2 shots off with increased damage.Anyways it was just some ideas I was thinking about while grinding.
