So I was an amarr commando in 1.7 and that was....hard to say the least. But in 1.8 commandos are viable now and I have been having tons of fun with the assault scrambler and laser on my amarr commando. I encourage anyone who loves scramblers or lasers to go amarr commando. My only weakness is heavies. So much armor...(shudders)

While yes the Scrambler + Laser Combo works well on that suit, having a -20% damage against armor at all times (and no grenade slot) really makes your life harder than it should be.
It's why I now have two different fittings for my proto:
Laser + ACR (Long Range, with decent CQC counter) ASCR + RR (Medium Range, with decent Long Range counter)
Unfortunately, the damage increase from the skill is nothing compared to the damage potential of the Amarr Assault when it comes to the laser. Because you get a reduction in heat build-up, you do a ton more damage right before you overheat, whereas the commando deals more damage as you first start firing.
Either way, the reload bonus kinda makes up for the damage loss, as you can start firing again after a shorter period of time.

Yeah, I use the ScR/CR or swarm combo on mine. If you want some laz0r goodness the assault is the only way to go! The DPS difference is insane.

Must post 25/0 in ambush with my LR on my Commando suit for you Winston
True but in my time Commandoing I find that having two damage types is not really what makes the Commando successful. Its picking weapons that synergise well, maximise the reload and racial weapon bonuses, and allow you to control you range and provide the suppressive factor that Commanndo suits excel at.
I did used to be of the opinion that the CR and Laser Rifle should have been the superior combination, over time however I found that to be proven wrong.
It's all a matter of playing the Amarr Commando to its strengths when using the LR and AScR, and the more you realise how to apply those strengths to any given engagement...... the more often you come out on top even against players who appear to have gear advantage.
Plus whoever uses filthy Minmatar tech on our glorious Commando suit deserve to have the full Wrath of God be turned upon them.

Never said I was proud of my use of the CR, lol. As a logi it's been a necessary evil, and on the commando I just overheat waaay too much, my internal clock is too attuned to the Assault. Suicide is, after all, prohibited in public areas.

My ground fit is Amarr commando. Maxed out on all skills. I use the laser as my main, and the AsR as a secondary. BUT I often uses the CR as a secondary due to the 80% against armour of the AsR. I personally feel that the 80% is a bit harsh. I and planning a video on it... perhaps It's time I did it.

I use it as my secondary. Mainly because I just like the laser. By that I mean I enjoy using it; how it looks, the way it makes people hop like they are really on fire. I will use a weapon because I enjoy it over how effective it is.
