JP Acuna Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 241	Posted - 2014.09.05 18:59:00 - [1] - Quote Feels there's no damage buff at all, doesn't have range in any weapon and it's too slow to survive anything, can't strafe well, even when it's not armor stacking. Can't do anything in CQC either unless against starter fits. It's just a soft baloon that's too easy to hit. You'll do better with any assault suit or scout.

I trained the skill soley for the damage and reload. Yeah, i think the bonus is good, but the saddest part is that you do better with non-gallente weapons. And yes wearing proto is a waste

I get pwned by scouts all the time, just not fast enough. But if you play it from the back/rear, it's a pretty deadly suit. Just gotta have squadmates willing to stick around to help watch your ass. I run mine with a kin cat so it at least has acceptable speed. I've tried this in the past, also rep tank. Thing is, it may have more armor than my assault, but it takes all hits because of its huge hitbox. Never going to be fast enough to be worth it the kincats, especially since they don't change strafing speed. The reps are not too good either, it's hard to take cover and rep being so big and slow. I'm trying tho, i'm trying. Shotgun is not bad in CQC just in case.

I think you may just be bad with the suit.... Gal commando is probably the best. Vehicles? No prob. PLC is pretty good AV. Scouts? Pull out the shotgun Ranged enemies? AR says hi PLC is the worst AV. If you want to kill with it, you need a scout with remotes and AV nades. PLC alone sucks. Scouts with shotguns will kill you before you know it. AR sucks at range. You'll get owned by any other rifle. AR is best with any other suit, especially Gal assault.

I saw you stomping around with that gk.0. Either taht or my team sucks. But still, stop complaining. And it wasn't just you. It was your big group of Fatal Absolution and Molon Labe. guys. That was actually after i posted this thread. I really wanted to find a way to use this suit. Probably that match was the one in the Line Harvest map. I was mainly getting assists and getting late to do anything LOL. i think i went 15/0, but just because the team was good.

On my proto I run Complex Kin Kat, Complex Cardiac Reg, Complex Rep, Complex Light DMG Mod - Gauged Nanohive Weapons: PLC and Duvolle/Six Kin CR (I know, but the AR just does not cut it right now) Other weapons: Shotty/Rail Rifle with scanner Tac AR/AR with scanner For other weapons the reload bonus plus DMG mod is very nice on the commandos which some of you forget. If you havent skilled into PLC then try swarms/sx kin - if this works, you definately chose the wrong race go look at the minmando (all I can say is you have no skill) If you dont think the galmando works, click my link below ................................V I was trying a different fit. Before i'd been rep tanking the suit, but it didn't work as espected. Since the assault buff, my galass can tank even more with better reps and mobility, so i thought it would be necessary to put some plates, but not good either. I've tried kinkats but still no good... I just conclude the weapons it gets a bonus with are not too versatile or good. I refuse to carry a CR and SL in a suit that's supposed to optimize plasma weapons.

I do carry a proto active scanner. You just haven't met good scouts. Don't take me wrong, i do get kills with my commando, with ARs and even PLCs. But i mean competitive games, against good players.

It's not a buff to the suit (unless it was a speed buff). The problem is that the damage bonus only applies to weapons that don't fit well in a slow, squishy heavy. I know it would be crazy to ask for the Galmando to be the fastest, since across all roles that's the Minmatar main thing. But sure thing you don't need to run fast to be effective with a CR, MD, or SL, whereas you would be awesome being fast with CQC weapons. But I'm not asking for that. Let's just say it's an uncomfortable situation to be a Gallentean commando, unless you use other weapons, which denies the racial bonus. Edit: And yes i've used a proto commando gk.0 and lose it continuously. And for some superstrange reason i even do better with the G/1, lol.
