I'll be honest, the main reason I went into Commando was because I wanted a suit to use the laser rifle in while having something I can defend myself with if people get close, but ever since I got the KLO-1 Scrambler Pistol I've been able to defend myself pretty well with a sidearm and have been using the laser rifle on an assault suit mostly instead. I also have a fit that uses it with the swarm launcher which is a nice combo but I only have militia swarms since I'm going full Amarr. I'm sure by the time they release an Amarr AV weapon I'll get some good use out of this suit.
On my alt I fitted two plasma cannons on the commando and the reload speed definitely helped considering it's a one shot weapon, but from what I gathered the plasma cannon needs a suit with more speed to be used effectively.
Ah yes, scrambler pistols are my thing and I love them, so I'd never bother using anything else in a combat role. Your LR ScR combo could really work if there was some sort of weapon bonus to them for the suit but I have no ideas what a replacement bonus could possibly be. As far as I can see, it seems the commando is suited to being a medium-long range defensive role but that's a pretty narrow and somewhat unrewarding playstyle. |

This is definitely how I see it, especially when you consider the slow shield recharge rate - you just can't put yourself in a position where you're constantly leading an assault since you'd spend so much time waiting for your shields to go back up. I've tried it with various militia weapons, shotguns are pointless because you're not fast enough to use them effectively and doing something like an Scrambler Rifle / Assault Rifle combo to wipe out shields then switch for armor is silly since the time it takes to switch your weapon and readjust your aim you could of done a lot more damage. Some people said dual assault rifles to cut on the reload time, but you already get the bonus for reloading which is really nice and how often are you going to need to spray 120 bullets non-stop? I may have chosen Laser Rifle / Assault Scrambler Rifle because I want to go full Amarr, but it really is a great choice for mid/long range defense.
As far as a better racial bonus goes, it has to be something that plays off the strengths of the suit. Something like +5% ammo capacity per level or even +5% light weapon clip size per level. Maybe even +5% rate of fire per level. It is Amarr so I wouldn't mind double dipping in the 5% heat build up reduction per level. |
