DUST Search - Things commandos need to make them fun and viable.

My feeling on commandos is this.

Either
1 they are too slow
2 they don't have enough hp
Or 3 they regen too slow.

I use the min commando so this is what I'm basing this off of. I just can't fit the stupid thing. Yeah its great for AV but if actually try to use it in combat you'll be fairly disappointed. If you fit it for speed you'll find yourself getting insta ganked due to its large hit box. If you fit it for regen, well same story really; insta ganked. Now if you fit it for hp I've found I usually have enough to slip in a corner with some hp left, however then the regen is so astonishingly slow it'll take you a minute to return to the fight if you don't get killed in the process.

Some blatantly obvious issues right of the bat is the cpu/PG limitations. When I fit my proto assault I can usually fit all proto mods and weapons If I'm following lore based fitting strategy. For my min commando however I really struggle fitting the mods I want and usually have to downgrade to adv or even basic weapons. That just won't do in a competitive environment.

Anyway I'll put an end to my rambling. Initial buffs that I'd love to see...

Increase slot count by one.
Increase capacity (cpu/pg)

I'd like to start some theory crafting for how much capacity these suits need for a competitive fit, including the added racial slot per tier. I'll take the min commando for now. It'd be great if others could chip in with the process for all the commandos.

Let's put this suit on the map.

Kierkegaard Soren Eridani Light Horse Striker 630	Posted - 2015.01.06 22:28:00 - [1] - Quote Things commando needs: Minor Speed and stamina increase. Additional slot per tier. Grenades, since it's often used as an AV platform and grenades are crucial to this. Minor buff to suit precision. It's ok for them to be seen, but they go toe to toe with assaults more often than not so why be blind to them? Additional durability, regen not hp. Don't want to step on sentinel toes. In terms of bonuses, commandos used to have one that buffed any defensive module fitted. It allowed them to have decent durability without increasing the slot count. Well, in theory, anyway. It was only 10% maxed out. 25% maxed might be more substantial. I'm aware that in the list above I've mentioned a slot increase, but I reckon just the one extra per tier shouldn't make them the unstoppable "heavy assaults" that were the initial concern when CCP first introduced them. Thoughts? And could really do with CPM and CCP feedback on what direction, if any, they want to take this suit. I'm aware that they might have bigger concerns to resolve right now, but a general idea of what and when would be really appreciated. Thanks. Dedicated Commando. CEO of Eridani Light Horse Strikers.

There it would get more exposure , hell people have garbage troll post up at the time ... this would be worth while and more meaty for discussion . This just needs to happen , I could see all but if you have three from these choices of suggestions it would be better because that role is not overpowering and I play it and wouldn't want it to become that because they over nerf the role then and it would never be the same . They just need an extra something about them to make them more viable . I wouldn't want to see the field cluttered with them like some roles and that's one of the reasons I play Commando , when I played logi there weren't that many . People prob had the skill and suit but only used it sparingly , now in pubs I see at least 3 or 4 and that's good and well needed as well as assaults getting in the mix but the commando is just missing something . I like stamina , they need a grenade slot ... I could do without the extra slots because that would be borderline but it the boost in CPU/PG isn't overdone , that would be a help . To be able to see is needed like the OP mentioned they are seen but really can't see that well . Yeah something that big really can't hide but why are they so blind ? Regeneration , well ... there not fast , don't have a immune bonus , can't really see and really fold like paper when fired on but I believe that has something to do with TTK and how people some don't really wanna have a fire fight . The like to OKH and three shot people . No confrontation . There in a almost good spot but to get them in a good spot their missing something a few things . Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

I've tried to strike up a dialogue about commandos before and they do get some solid ideas from other forum users, but nothing ever really comes of it after that. Which is a shame, because they're a tremendously fun suit to play but I wouldn't dare take one into a PC battle. It'd be a waste of suit. And that's what we're really missing here: competitive viability.

P14GU3 Savage Bullet 1121	Posted - 2015.01.07 00:01:00 - [15] - Quote Speed and Stamina - A must. These suits are just too big of targets not to have at least some burst speed. Slot Count - I think this is also a must. At least 1, it would give some flexability to the class. Grenades - I think this is a no go. This was the original sacrifice for the second light weapon. Tankers are already complaining about the minmando being too good at AV, this may just break it. I can imagine what a flux would do for my MD fit too. Ewar - With the addition of slot count, mandos could theoretically have decent ewar (I haven't done the math.) I think this is something we need to look into move before making a decision. Defense - Again we have to be careful about over-buffing the mando. Start with a slot count buff and see what kind of defense we start seeing. Overall, 'mandos aren't in that bad of a place. They just need a little love and they will be the DPS support they were meant to be. Logi AK.0 - Logi GK.0 - Scout GK.0 - Mando MK.0 - Masshole in every sense of the word.

Agreed , you really wouldn't expect a commando to e-war it up with mods and the fact that it's sig is so big it kinda wouldn't help but yes ... yes indeed . I like the fact that when I played Logistic I could do that and it was expected and welcomed by those who took advantage of the fact and guarded their logi's . Just cause your not in the same squad , your on the same team and a lot of people just don't get that . I loved being able to see and use my e-war mods and scanners to enhance the effect but at the same time it made me even more thin and to have people around who pay their logi's no mind didn't help .

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 1845	Posted - 2015.01.07 01:17:00 - [24] - Quote Commandos aren't terribly poorly off right now, their biggest issues are that they could use another slot (+1 low for cal, +1 high for min, +1 high for amarr & gallente) and some base stat tweaking (ewar, stamina, shield delays etc). With all that said though, I firmly feel that the minmatar need to lose the bonus they're currently getting to swarm launchers - it's really throwing off some stuff in regards to AV (+25% buff to swarms is a bit absurd for only having two damage mods, while also carrying a rifle that also get the same +25% damage buff). Hell, I'd even be okay with commando's getting a special grenade & grenade slot. As it stands right now though, commando's are only a few small tweaks and buffs away from being one of the most powerful suits in the game due to their ability to approach almost any situation with confidence and competence.

I use the min commando so this is what I'm basing this off of. I just can't fit the stupid thing. Yeah its great for AV but if actually try to use it in combat you'll be fairly disappointed. If you fit it for speed you'll find yourself getting insta ganked due to its large hit box. If you fit it for regen, well same story really; insta ganked. Now if you fit it for hp I've found I usually have enough to slip in a corner with some hp left, however then the regen is so astonishingly slow it'll take you a minute to return to the fight if you don't get killed in the process. Some blatantly obvious issues right of the bat is the cpu/PG limitations. When I fit my proto assault I can usually fit all proto mods and weapons If I'm following lore based fitting strategy. For my min commando however I really struggle fitting the mods I want and usually have to downgrade to adv or even basic weapons. That just won't do in a competitive environment. Anyway I'll put an end to my rambling. Initial buffs that I'd love to see... Increase slot count by one.

The commando needs one more module and a buff in cpu/pg. I would also like to see a 50% ammo pool increase at proto (10% per level), which would make it much more versatile, since it wouldn't be mandatory to carry hives on the suit. Edit: I fit my minmando with passive scans and damage in the highs, and regen in the lows. This seems to work ok'ish.
