Imagine your weapon Proficiency skill going up to level 8 instead of 5.
Caldari commandos with Thale's sniper rifles... *shudders*

have you guys seen what extra damage does in this game?
i can already see commandos being god mode with the only thing that can take them 1 on 1 being sentinels if they can even get close enough, or a sneaky scout.
Amarr commandos with SR will one-shot most assault and logi suits, and melt them within a second or two with a LR
Caldari commandos with RR will two or three shot them, not to mention sniper rifles
Gallente commandos will make the Duvolle AR a terror to be feared again
And they will be even scarier in city maps
With Minmatar commandos waiting behind a corner one-shotting you with a combat rifle, or decimating groups of people with a mass driver
And Gallente commandos will one or two shot them with a shotgun
Most importantly I think medium suits are getting the short straw in 1.8 because I mean, how useful is light weapon clip size, accuracy, etc. compared to the raw offensive power of a commando and defensive power of a sentinel?

first of all both of the minmatar medium suits have always been the worst suits in the game
second caldari have been weak for a long time since they nerfed caldari assault; shields are bullshit in this game
most importantly medium suits were pretty evenly matched with heavies and scouts, and now they're going to be cannon fodder and I think that's stupid, this game needs to be balanced not biased

If you catch one out in the Open they are as good as dead. Think about it, the Amarr Commando has about 600 HP, and it will have the Most HP out of all the Commandos. Any well fitted medium suit will kill them without flinching.
You are neglecting the possible damage mod nerf
But they will be unmatched at long range with some cover

Any well fitted medium suit will kill them without flinching. You are neglecting the possible damage mod nerf But they will be unmatched at long range with some cover That is the purpose of the Commando suit. Long range fire and suppression. However properly fitted a Commando can also offer Mid range fire support to a very effective level. I already use mine, I already go 15+ kills a match, and I don't even fit damage modules.....now perhaps I will be on par DPS wise with you all.......then there will be hell to pay.
I think its good that the commando will start to see some use.
With the confirmation of a somewhat universal balancing of weapons maybe even the poor old plasma cannon will see some use

How does that work? If I could fit two light weapons, they would be exactly different weapons. That dudes way off? Rail Rifle. His friend got up close? Combat Rifle. What does Logibro mean when he says commandos are so specialized?
Slow and easy to kill. But honestly I see 1.8 giving the commando a serious buff.
