DUST Search - I love the Commando (and I never thought I would)

I finally was able to try it out today when they released the 'neo' commando suits. I didn't want to waste 50k sp just to try it, and then I did anyways so that I could also try the A-1 series (goes good on steak I heard)

Oh there are so many things I wish I could change about it...but I think I like where it is.

First of all, let me just say that the Scrambler Rifle/Mass Driver Combo is so OP that you don't even know. Charge shot to take down their shields, finish them off with the mass driver. Scrambler for long range, mass driver for close quarters. Scrambler for when you run out of ammo with the mass driver...mass driver for general purposes.

The biggest downside to the suit is the pointless % to shield/armor modules. Just no.
The second downside has to be the absolutely pathetic shield recharge rate. With one high and one low I decided to put an energizer bunny in the high slot to boost it to 15/s, and a armor repair in the low slot to keep my armor full.

I also use only standard weapons. The idea here is that I already have level 3 proficiency in both the mass driver and scrambler rifle so I do enough damage already. I also use them to my advantage, so I'm doing 129% damage to their health at all times (20% for the weapon bonus vs shields/armor, 9% from weapon pro). Killing enemies isn't the hard part, it's just staying alive that is.

Lastly, it's a heavy with an equipment slot. This means that for my setup I HAVE to use a nanohive, but I still tried a repair tool. I think people were doing double takes when they saw me healing them as a heavy...it was funny XD
If I could have anything in this game, it would be a minmatar heavy with an HMG and a repair tool. Oh please mighty CCP devs, grant me my wish...

Now that I think about it, this suit has a lot of advantages. It really is a strategic killing machine, but you can't judge it by the module slots, or its stats, or the fact that it looks like Ironman.

If there was one thing I'd change, it would have to be the cost. I understand that I'm not spending a ton on modules and guns for this suit, but the advanced version costs as much as my advanced logi loadout with prototype gear :/

As a side note, the prototype version needs something. I don't think it's a module, maybe like a second equipment slot? One of the light weapon slots changed to a heavy weapon slot? idk.

My next test is to try it out with a complex sprint mod and a melee mod running around bashing people to death with my massive elbow...or whatever it is he smacks people with to do that much damage.

Yeah man, with a proto melee damage mod thats 420 melee damage.
