Is commando a dead profession?

[reyak]

There isn't much posted in here - is the commando a dead profession on Awakening?

I'm thinking about going down this path, but was wondering if stuff was broke or not working and that is why there isn't many commando hanging out.

Ask this question again in general chat in game matey - as well as advice here you might be able to get practical info too

Well considering he is asking here and not general, means he perhaps deserves a response on the Commando forums. Not for nothing but General chat is far from a constructive place i find, 99% of the time i do not look at it because it seems to be people complaining about something.

Anyway.... @ OP - Commando I understand to not be all that popular because certain tapes apparently do not work as I understand it. Rocket pistol and flame thrower are the only weapons one uses atm for whatever, I assume no solid resource for others have spawned. It's essentially a specialist class, it requires alot of points invested just to obtain novice so most people prefer a melee spec like swordmen or Tk mixed with medic,doc, or CM. Main reason to this seem to be the fact range in general is not a optimal course of action due to npc atm always charge you and eventually go melee very fast in a fight, even if using a range weapon to start. Also, back to the resources... There is simply to many resources in good quality missing in the server. Hope resource quality server spawns change because this server seem to have a very poor % of quality resource spawning in a solid variety which is very much affect the economy and people opting to play range classes right now.

Did they apply the same patch that they did on EMU so that ability DoTs were bypassing armor?

I was a Master Commando back pre-CU. I've thought about grinding out another one here because I loved watching people panic when they were torched... and then laughing like a crazy person as their HAM bars turned solid black from the wounds. But back then I also had a Krayt Flamethrower with a 1.3 attack speed... I digress. I've been working on other professions here but I might head back to Commando someday. Good times.

As someone who played a commando back at live, I'm just wondering what you pair with it that you're able to kill krayts axeljacobs...

TKM/MCommando? If feign death worked that would be another option.

Commando is not a dead profession. Excellent for high end pve.

After seeing the work that commandos put in on the DWB mobs I agree.

Im actually grinding a commando and really like it. If you see burned fambaa corpses around Avalon that would be me..

My brother and I are hunting krayts. He's a commando and he does the majority of the damage. Setting them on fire and watching them burn is awesome.

i really like playing my commando in pve but i still think there should be more incentive to go anything over 0040, as right now you're pretty much set dps wise without mastering. maybe a FT speed boost at master, maybe some kind of crazy heavy weapons bonus? what i'm trying to say is that ive put as much thought into these ideas, as i have into mastering commando. lol
