Hey all, i am new to the commando profession...my alt is picking it up. . .

I noticed that using the launcher pistol with concussion shot (smuggler) that I AoE root/daze . . .this is a GREAT feature of commando. Why dont more PvPer use it? am i missing some huge drawback?

low dps, low special selection, sometimes it is not wise to use AOE, some of the best weapons are not cl 54 so they do less damage then desired,and less then optimal healing. T_T

the prof is not easy enough for most people......that's about it

m commando/m smuggler is awesome for CC.....IF you take on that function, get an LBC made for elemental damage (with pup over 270 elemental shouldn't be hard to make)

mcommando / msmuggler seems like a no brainer as a support cc prof. . . .thanks for the tips

Plus, the profession's AoE is only great when using another profession like smuggler...so even our "best feature" isn't really a feature at all, just a hollow shell waiting to be filled...

Then take into account what Ackehace, and the fact that the profession is pretty much a challenge to play as (till you learn how to use it).

The commando is useful but you only need 1-2 in a large pvp fight. Using smuggler or pistoleer attacks you can root and mez large groups of people. If you are two commandos you can chain root with stopping shot, this works pretty well. But for damage it's useless.

The greatest irony of a damage dealer..

Kind of sad, really

If you could redo how the Devs "graded" commando in and of itself, how would you do it?

well I can see some similarities between the "hybrid" profs....smuggler MBH and commando

all 3 aren't THAT good, but have HUGE potential when teamed up with another prof.....of couse commando and smuggler got the short end of the stick when compared to MBH

maybe the devs now mean that a "hybrid" professions is a profession that isn't very ideal to use as only combat profession?

i understand that commando isnt a damage dealer but more of a dabbler prof. . .at least thats how it seems. Kinda like the jedi healer tree, it has some good skills but master isnt that great. . .

thanks for hte advice
