Zahle Undt Bullet Cluster 1159	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:02:00 - [1] - Quote Agree or disagree? I had hopes the commandos would be good viable suits without being OP, but I am not noticing my 2% per level damage bonus and I generally feel like I have to "work harder" for kills and to survive than I do in either my assault suits and definitely my scout suit. I'm not a very good player so maybe it is just me, but like so many other new thing this build I wonder what the pulse of the community on this is. Oh and by the way you all are welcome for my scrub self using cal commando almost exclusively the little I've played during this event. You all should split your ISK profits from killing me with me Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
crazy space 1 GunFall Mobilization 2231	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:04:00 - [2] - Quote the 10% damage buff is amazing now that less things give you damage buffs
Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 7822	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:05:00 - [3] - Quote I've been doing well with the commando since Uprising 1.2 and my performance only went up with 1.8. I wouldn't say it's hard mode, just probably not the best role for you personally. Either that or you need to keep working at it and learn how to maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses. Amarr Victor
BL4CKST4R WarRavens League of Infamy 2253	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:06:00 - [4] - Quote They feel pretty squishy for how slow they are. For the Federation!

I'm definitely not giving up and its not like I am doing terrible either, I'm going positive with my adv. cal commandos, just not doing as well as in my other suits (gal logi excluded because I haven't used it since Tuesday). You are probably right I gotta adjust my playstyle with that suit. They are definitely squishy though. Assault health, logi speed, with sentinel profile and hit box. Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
Broonfondle Majikthies Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 1032	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:24:00 - [6] - Quote Commando is great You just have to remember your support and not front line Real hard more is still Min Scout - eWar scout with no bonuses to eWar "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"
Fire of Prometheus Alpha Response Command 4091	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:40:00 - [7] - Quote It shard cause you're bending it outside of its role.....you are suppression and back up, not frontline slayer Fare well my commando's fist of god o7 Patron saint of commandos Ck.0-scout, commando // ak.0- logi (commando soonTM)
Sgt Kirk Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 5401	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:42:00 - [8] - Quote I love my Commando *1st Official Role Playing Gallente Asshole* -Title Awarded by True Adamance
Zahle Undt Bullet Cluster 1163	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:45:00 - [9] - Quote Fire of Prometheus wrote: It shard cause you're bending it outside of its role.....you are suppression and back up, not frontline slayer You are most likely right. I fit my comando with RR and ARR and all too often I am going in there with my ARR like I would with an assault but without the speed to get in gank a clone or 2 and grab some cover. And my commando has about the same exact EHP as my Amarr assaults Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
Patrick57 Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 6277	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:47:00 - [10] - Quote I think the bonus is really good for any weapon, since the damage of every rifle was nerfed. They'd be even better if they weren't so slow.

Emperor1349 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 56	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:50:00 - [11] - Quote I find it harder to survive being so slow, use to that minmatar assault speed and jumping over rails to avoid fighting 2 or more at at once. But I'm using a min commando now with a Cr and Md, its fun to use, but I still say the lack of modules kill the suit, just like before. Also a grenade slot are you kidding me even the medic suit has grenades :) If you have a poor gun game no proto suit can help you. If you have a good gun game no proto suit is needed.
Roy Ventus Axis of Chaos 1538	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:51:00 - [12] - Quote Fire of Prometheus wrote: It shard cause you're bending it outside of its role.....you are suppression and back up, not frontline slayer Was waiting on your post lol. How's the Commando Six? Are there more people or you guys went your separate ways? Also AGREED. I've been saying this for a while when everyone kept saying "lol commandos will be the best slayers all the time." Commandos don't have the same versatility as other suits being both heavy weight and restricted to offensive capabilities.

da GAND L.O.T.I.S. D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 608	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:52:00 - [13] - Quote Bit more difficult to get around in a commando suit for sure, but I'm doing alright in my Minmatar commando suit with the mass driver + combat rifle combo. Don't nerf heavies, instead do This

Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 815	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:54:00 - [15] - Quote Skilled into gal command to level one for the event, threw on a AR/LR combo and was greatly impressed. Next thing I know I dumped my logi suit SP into em. Was waiting to see the changes they made to medium suits before spending it but I'll be able to save it back up by that time anyway. CCP you better nail 1.8, as it stands 1.7 is a total disaster. Henchmen21: Infantry Gotyougood Ufkr: Vehicles
bamboo x Eternal Beings Proficiency V. 513	Posted - 2014.03.28 21:54:00 - [16] - Quote Dat Caldari Commando with a Thale's http://www.protofits.com/fittings/shared/337/2617 B.D. Wong AKA Dr. Wu returns to Jurassic Park sequel

I figure if I can't get the hang of using my dual rail combo I'll have a back up use for a suit I put a lot of SP into Most tankers are like sand people.

Alaika Arbosa Matari Combat Research and Manufacture Inc. Interstellar Murder of Crows 1887	Posted - 2014.03.28 22:00:00 - [19] - Quote I've been having fun with my M/1 Heavy Assault (aka Commando). I haven't been doing too terrible with it either, most of the matches that I have used it primarily, I have been 1.80+ KD. I run it basically the same way that I ran the M/1 Assault pre-1.8 (I haven't used the Assault since 1.8 released). Isk positive too. Why are people surprised when I pick them up with a Wiyrkomi on my Heavy Assault? Arzadu Akbar Motherfuckers!!!! Closed Beta Bittervet Bomber
Awesome Pantaloons Lokapalas. 393	Posted - 2014.03.28 22:00:00 - [20] - Quote Definitely not hard mode. I've been using advanced Amarr with Elm and CRD-9. That thing is a beast. lol The others are pretty awesome too. Commandos definitely got love this patch. "The Wrath of God is Immense. His Justice is Swift and Decisive.

Ace Boone G0DS AM0NG MEN D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 61	Posted - 2014.03.28 22:03:00 - [21] - Quote Broonfondle Majikthies wrote: Commando is great You just have to remember your support and not front line Real hard more is still Min Scout - eWar scout with no bonuses to eWar If you brick tank minmitar mk.0s, they're insanely fast assaults. It's not really hard mode with a combat rifle and tactics. 2x profile damps, 1x complex ferroscale, 3 complex shield extenders should do the trick with a shotgun. meh.
Tupni Capital Acquisitions LLC Dirt Nap Squad. 78	Posted - 2014.03.28 22:05:00 - [22] - Quote A little more HP than most (sometimes), less customization in modules, a larger, slower target with all the disadvantages of a heavy but less HP, two light weapons, whatever those bonuses are supposed to be that I think I read aren't actually taking effect yet.... Leaning toward hard mode.
I-Shayz-I I-----I 2752	Posted - 2014.03.28 22:09:00 - [23] - Quote The amarr commando is definitely the best one if you go with any of them. I can't figure out a good fitting for my minmatar one though...just know that using a mass driver on that thing is suicide. I personally feel that the damage bonus isn't noticble enough. It should be more lik 15-25% at level 5, not 10%. Links: 7162 wp with a Repair Tool! I make logistics videos!
Dimmu Borgir II The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 273	Posted - 2014.03.28 22:17:00 - [24] - Quote Sgt Kirk wrote: I love my Commando And your Commando loves you hehe Blue is good, red is bad, orange you glad you're not red?

It should be more lik 15-25% at level 5, not 10%. I'm waiting for more hofixes before making a judgement on that. For all we know its not applying the 10% bonus, just like the game is not properly applying the amarr assault bonus or the minmatar assault bonus Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

JP Acuna Pendejitos Canis Eliminatus Operatives 103	Posted - 2014.03.28 22:34:00 - [28] - Quote Pretty hard for me. Maybe i still need to adapt to the suit, but i've been ISK negative since i started using it. I lost over 5m only on wednesday because i had to stick to the ADV since the STD had no slots until thursday. Maybe i'm getting better now, i don't know, i just paused and started playing scout again. The commando makes me look like a complete nooooob.
