For a long time, I was against the idea of commando's getting state effects for their grenades. As a Ranger, thrown state effects were "my" turf, and seeing commandos get to use them on players before I could was a bit frustrating. However, as we all know, Ranger is changing drastically. Thrown weapons are no longer our forte. Thrown consumables are a part of only 2 professions. Scout and Commando.

Now I've see a few players complaining about the tkm pre-req. Some, I'm sure, like it, while others don't (much like the idea of Ranger becoming a hybrid). But I was thinking about it this morning and I realized that there could be a possible solution in all this. What if commando became like Ranger-- a scout/marksman hybrid. Their roles already seem to be intertwined, and I've already started a toon that's going to be Ranger/Commando. But what if Commando required Trapping IV rather than unarmed IV?

First of all, this allows a commando to more easily pick up terrain negotiation skills, secondly, it makes an hybrid profession draw off of that scout pre-req logically and I think it would serve as a good starting point for trying to make the state effects of grenades much longer in duration. I must admit, it would also make my Commando/Ranger much happier SP wise, but that's anscilary. I understand the concern of melee commandos, and I certainly wouldn't push for this if there are a great deal of you who are opposed, but I do think that Scout makes a bit more sense for a Commando, especially the trapping line.

anyway, let me know what you guys think.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

I think the newranger should require 4400 scout and novice marksman to more accurately fit their role... The unarmed requirement for commando makes quite a bit of sense, but post CU is nearly useless (with the exception of CoB) due to how melee and ranged are completely divorced now. TKM/Commando was a very popular template pre-cu, but now is rather gimped.

I see the sense in your idea given where ranger is going, but my problem is that I dislike a chunk of that. I think leaving commando's requirements as-is and re-examining the new ranger would be more appropriate. The theft line should be part of underworld or a replacement to spices, and rangers should keep a tracking line.

The likelihood of this occuring is probably on par with the chances of seeing me don that garment whose name I will not utter

Honestly speaking, I'd rather for us to keep the UA IV and move commando more to its CU role of being a master with weapons and generally the bad boy of combat. We don't have the sneaking powers of rangers or riflemen, we don't have the skill of mortal 1 on 1 combat, we don't have the finesse of using weapons elegantly and swiftly.

Nah, we got guns...lots of guns. And we know how to use those in all quarters of combat, and make our enemy run like the wussies they are.

At least...that's us in theory.
