Scout report on commandos
Last night ran into a a group of Heavies, mix of Commando and Sentinels. The match was a little lopsidedGÇª as I only had one other team member (who I only saw once, not that they were doing nothing we both hit over 800wp)

But what was interesting was the sight of the Sentinel being Guardian Repped by a Commando. would have been interesting to see how effective it was, but I was running alpha damage so it was not something i could really analyze for effectiveness. It was kind of a cool sight, and I can see some potential there.
If the Sentinel at the end of the leash goes down, you still have a solid fighting force in the Commando. Also the ability to switch between reaping and death dealing at a situational level is pretty flexible.

I've tried it before, and in my experience a Commando using a rep tool is simply wasting it's DPS potential. Commandos and Sentinels do work good together, but it would be better if say the the Commando ran the Wirykomi Nanite Injector, so as both of them can focus on DPS and when the Sentinel goes down he can be popped right back up with near full armor.

The needle makes sense (and that State 100% one would be awesome for that as well Cool

)
Depending on the Commando though the rep could still be useful. Say high range DPS on Mando w/ rep, while the Sent covers the CQC with the HMG, the two could cover most engagements, add in AV for versatility.

Its like the plasma cannon, it does not perform its role better than other weapons. If no respec is given I might go: Caldari Commando with RR and plasma cannon. - Plasma cannon jack of all trades (AV, room clearing, killing infantry) master of none. Only gotta spec into the commando suit in this case! If respec is given I might go: Minmatar Commando with CR, Swarms and possibly MD. :-) Still feels kind of gimped being in a heavy suit with only 700 EHP (no mods) when movement speed is so slow. But yeah... who knows what will happen to TTK at this stage... Think of the Commandos more as "assault heavies" while sentinels are "defense heavies." While they get more EHP, we get more DPS and versatility. ARC Commander CPM Info and Q&A - Status: Open

Only on armour tanking players and high regen shield tankers, otherwise you are simply rezing a man into a gunfight he can't survive. Otherwise is the perfect squad set up. 2x light weapons, fast reloads, and big fire power, with high EHP.....couple him as the last manstanding with a 100% Nanite Injector on a squad full of Amarrians.......
