Commando Archive

I'll stand by my numbers.

Best slice I've seen on a flame is 3.1. Best speed we get is +45. That's nowhere near the max speed cap of 1.0

It works out to us having the highest dps without specials.

But really who doesn't use specials?

cooper, ivoni is basing those off of being a master commando. i know that the difference in DPS with my FT just by getting the first box is tremendous. so i can only imagine what a master commando DPs would be like. as long as you are within 5m of your target, you can be doing 150-300 dps as a novice commando. thats pretty good for being a novice elite profession. only thing better is pistoleers really. so i dont know where you are getting your information from.

i think you 2 are basing the dps against enemys with armor rating 0 ....

take enemys with ar1 (the future of pvp)

or higher and the dps will drop a lot

im not saying our dps is bad .. im saying we dont have the BEST dps (as long as you dont count the charged weapons which really could deal a lots of dam)

you can pull out your abacus and do all the math, but there is not doubt that I, as a master pistoleer using the launcher pistol and using low blow and last ditch from smuggler or fan shot from pistoleer don't killa humanoid NPC nearly as quickly as I do when I use my flame thrower and hit one good flame 2...the thing is, theres a good chance that you'll kill in one or two shots...

with a pistol, you may have better damage over 30 or more seconds...i don't know...but in the 8 seconds it takes me to get off two flame single 2's, there is no comparision. Flamer hands down....

Commando is meant for lightning fast battle damage, dished out front with a silver platter. In a drawn out fight at long range Commando can do little with a LP and can't do much at all with no specials.

My flame thrower has a speed of 3.0. I got a great 35% speed slice on it. With the speed mods i'm attacking every 1.5 seconds.

Ivoni just to let you know, the other consumable weapons like the HBPC do extreme wound dmg to another players secondary stats.

I know in about 1-2 hits ive heard players complaining about 150 wounds to all thier Regen stats (Stam, str, cons, will, etc.. etc..)

And that was with a crummy 1000-2000 I picked up on the bazaar cheap.

I will have enough skill points left over after all the other stuff to get some commando skills. Please list whats good and bad about the different weapons...

well the weapons are all great but the only problem is the cooldown time after u use a special attack like flame single, its like 10 seconds although it does 5k to a stormtrooper and 800 to a player

Ivoni you are wrong on the flamer ....

the flamethrower can make lots of damage in a single shot .. but the DPS are not as good as a lots of other professions can make with there weapons ...

Zippy.

Since they nerfed my income to afford heavy weapons consumables I've joined the camp of toss both consumable trees out the window.

Or I could buy a second account and level my own master weaponsmith so I could actually have someone making them.

Bah, don't mind me. I'm still grumpy about Holo's post.

That and bashing nerf criers with the stick.

Need to go find an At-St to light on fire.
