oh and the AR is being buffed again. so stop **** talking the gallente before all the chickens are hatched

Lol, you know what I find funny? I was playing earlier on FW, guess what? 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.

JP, I saw you with 1100 ehp!! you mad bro!?

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

OP obviously doesn't realize the AR is a scout killer

edit: OP also doesn't realize the commando can carry an active scanner

having two weapons does not fully make up for being super slow and vulnerable imo. and yes, the problem i believe is in large part with the plasma rifle being the weakest of automatic rifles.

Well like I said it makes use of the Plasma Cannon very well if that's your thing. Shotguns are questionable on a suit so slow, which leaves you with the Assault Rifle which is rather UP right now. So I think it's more the AR being bad and not so much the Commando's bonuses.

As for slot layout, I'd love to actually use a proto suit and feel like a proto suit, but when a Proto Commando has the same number of slots as a Standard Logistics...

Than you sir have not used a Proto commando GK.0

The Proto gallente commando is actually one of the best, if you rep tank it with one armour plates you have a pretty solid suit regardless of weapon choices, I'd say use a RR and an AR if you're not a fan of AR & SG

EDIT: you may also need a lesson in tactics, but judging by the other posts and how they recount your success, you don't need some better tactics...you may very well just be trying to get the commando buffed unnecessarily....

Dude, i'm an AR specialist and it's not a scout killer... not more than a ScR at least. 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.

let's try buffing the AR before we buff the suit, seeing as most of the issue is with the weapon :p
