Jaran Vilktar CORP SIX KING 122	Posted - 2015.01.30 17:47:00 - [1] - Quote So, I recently finished skilling into my Proto Galmando and last night I decided to have a few matches with it. I figured it'd be fun to run since I've spammed my 'Centurion' BPO enough to know how to use a Commando. I went through those matches, it was fun but I noticed I was being taken out far too easily by Assaults, galassaults in particular. I noticed my attackers had similar HP pools as me yet were of ADV rather than Proto tier, could avoid my shots better and destroyed my HP sooner than I thought they would... so I went on protofits to compare these 2 suits at proto with my skills. These are Stats taken from Protofits, please take notice of the bold stats: Galassault: CPU 418.5045 / 498.75 gF PG 88.7475 / 91.875 kW Shield 193.75 [266.35] HP Armor 343.75 [668.25] HP eHP 537.5 [934.6] HP Shield Recharge Rate 20 HP/s Shield Recharge Delay 7 s Shield Dep. Rec. Delay 10 [10.7] s Armor Repair Rate 2.5 [14.88] HP/s This should be about 19 but it looks like protofits hasn't updated yet. Movement Speed 5 [4.8] m/s Strafe Speed 4.5 [4.32] m/s Sprint Speed 7.35 [7.06] m/s Stamina 183.75 Stamina Recovery Rate 21 /s Scan Profile 40.5 dB Scan Precision 44.55 40.5 dB 36.45 dB Short Range Scan Radius 30 m 22.5 m Medium Range 7.5 m Short Range Melee Damage 110 HP Hack Speed Factor 1.25 Max Eq Bandwidth 16 Mbit/sec Frame Class Medium Frame Dropsuit Race Gallente Dropsuit Role Assault High-Slot Modules 3 Small Capacity Granades 1 Equipment 1 Sidearm Weapons 1 Low-Slot Modules 5 Light Weapons 1 Galmando: CPU 352.66 / 354.375 gF PG 50.35 / 73.5 kW Shield 312.5 HP Armor 500 [676] HP eHP 812.5 [988.5] HP Shield Recharge Rate 15 HP/s Shield Recharge Delay 7 s Shield Dep. Rec. Delay 10 s Armor Repair Rate 3 [12.38] HP/s Movement Speed 4.05 [3.93] m/s Strafe Speed 3.65 [3.54] m/s Sprint Speed 5.95 [5.77] m/s Stamina 131.25 Stamina Recovery Rate 15.75 /s Scan Profile 49.5 dB Scan Precision 54.45 49.5 dB 44.55 dB Short Range Scan Radius 30 m 22.5 m Medium Range 7.5 m Short Range Melee Damage 240 HP Hack Speed Factor 1.25 Max Eq Bandwidth 16 Mbit/sec Frame Class Heavy Frame Dropsuit Race Gallente Dropsuit Role Commando High-Slot Modules 1 Equipment 1 Low-Slot Modules 3 Light Weapons 2 Also, I compared the damage of the Duvolle AR on my Assault and on my Commando. The Commando dealt about 3 damage per shot more than the Assault. So, I'm glad that it can at least deal more damage as intended. The end result? The Assault can deal similar damage as the commando while having almost equal pools of ehp with higher rep, recharge and recovery rates and is capable of avoiding damage easier than the commando due to better strafe and smaller hitbox, not to mention better ewar. I concluded that the only reason to use a Commando (other than for the fun of it) over an Assault is the Second Light Weapon slot, which can be somewhat irrelevant as sidearms have good firepower and we also have the Black Eagle AR (I know it's rare and unlikely to use it due to it's rarity but I ould wield an AR and PLC on an Assault if I wanted). I don't think this is right, I think the Commando needs a general buff to it's overral stat's. Like stamina, what's the point of having 240 Melee Damage on our suit if we suffer of Cardiac Arrest everytime we try to chase a dying enemy and run out of stamina before we land the hit? Sure, I could use a Complex Crdiac Regulator but a Commando's base Stamina and Stamina Recovery or so low it just barely get's me above an Assault's default Stamina and Stamina Recovery rate's. This just isn't right. IMO the Commando's need a buff. Thoughts? And no, I don't regret skilling into my Galmando.

I use an HMG and shotgun with mine Assaults breach, they're slayers.. Mandos are the link between the slayers and point defense. Exactly, I have two Commando Roles. Engineer - Has a Plasma Cannon to keep vehicles that linger around at bay, which is great for keeping dropships off your squad. It won't kill the vehicle unless it's a terrible fit or pilot but you will scare them away. He uses an AR and relies more on Armor Repair and Speed than overall health to keep up with his squad. My Engineer has an Allotek Nanohive to resupply armor and Health in tough situations. Ranged Support - Features a Duvolle Tactical Assault Rifle for defending areas that are surrounded by wide open areas coupled with a Breach Assault Rifle to deal massive damage in close range engagements. My Ranged Support class comes with an Active Scanner for keeping track of the oncoming enemy. The Ranged Support Class is armored to the teeth while having a good amount of armor regeneration with a sacrifice to Movement ability but when you're defending an objective it's all about holding your ground and who deals the most damage. This is where my Ranged Support Commando shines. Both of these are extremely useful suits to have in this game, especially my Engineer class but they are very squad oriented which is where people fall short with their solo one man army mentality. People overlook the ability to have an Anti-Vehicle weapon at the ready when the moment arises, and trust me. The Python pilots do not expect the Plasma Cannon at all. *Vote 'Keshava' for the new Gallente HAV name!* *~Democracy will win!*

Leadfoot10 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 3061	Posted - 2015.01.30 18:12:00 - [11] - Quote A gal commando SHOULD lose to a gal assault. The basis of your argument is invalid, IMO, because there should be a tradeoff between the flexibility of the commando and the specificity of the assault.
Joel II X Bacon with a bottle of Quafe 5859	Posted - 2015.01.30 18:12:00 - [12] - Quote The only thing that shines in the Gallente Commando, is being able to carry a Plasma Cannon and another weapon, plus the reload on the Plasma Cannon.

Bethhy Ancient Exiles. 3330	Posted - 2015.01.30 20:21:00 - [19] - Quote Commandos are decent... Where they are failing these days is they have similar health pools to assaults... With limited regeneration ability... Limited speed.. Bigger hitbox.. Slot reduction.. No Grenade.......To sacrifice for 10% damage increase. It's and interesting concept... But seems CCP was trying to be careful with the Commando in implementation and made sure they put 5-6 nerf chains around the legs of the class. Even a slight health increase would put them more into the the actual game... Because DUST is usually played within a 60m Radius... IN Majority...... And for sure competitively.. And commandos just can't hack it at that range unless playing a purely support role and being worth the sacrifice in a competitive scenario... in Pubs they are just fun as hell.

Having the ability to kill an HAV and then massacre the guy who jumps out isn't really possible with other suit types. The Plasma Cannon let's me either one shot high HP players or cut them down in size. The AR is there to do the rest. Now if I could only get that grenade slot ;) Put your flags up in the sky.

It always take less than a clip to kill anybody [not talking about fat douches], so there's no point to swap guns in middle of the fight and if someone doesn't eqiup AV on commando then he should use assault suit.

Talk to Kirk, Arkena, Cat, or pop in the Lucent fw channel for tips on how to make the GCom shine. I LOVE mine its one of my favorite suits, I run it often, and I still havent had to buy any since the event because I rarely die with it, using it properly. Gal Commando is a situational suit, and is honestly perfect for when the situation calls for AV in a hotzone. Can't afford losing AV or AP capability? Why not both then? They are also great for the same reason MinMandos are great, great direct damage from a rifle, and great suppression power from an explosive sidearm like the Mass Driver or Plasma Cannon. Both fill the role of flushing targets out of cover, albeit the Mass Driver does it better (Though it can't AV so that's fair). These suits only need some small help to get rolling, but CCP has to be careful with that. Overdo it and Commandos will tread all over Assaults, since both are so close in so many ways.

Just because they get to use two light weapons shouldn't be a reason to have a suit like that , that's just so gimpy . Gal Assaults with 1000 armor are fail Gal Assaults that strafe worse than sentinels. They are my favorite targets, the type that can't escape once I put them in a bad position and just start hammering them. Also, yes it is a reason to have the Commando worse than an Assault for having two light weapons. You trade raw power for flexibility, if you had both the Assault wouldn't have a reason to exist. People who say Gallente assault can get over 1000 armor make me laugh. They don't realize that it becomes a terrible, terrible suit at that point?

Dropships? No prob. Tanks? Shoo fly... I'm actually sad that my net is off right now I feel like going commando. Mark a$$ tricks, and bags of dicks....

Yeah, I know the Black Eagle AR is a "sidearm" I was just trying to say that you can achieve similar to better results with a Galassault instead of a Galmando if you really try to do so. And if you're prepared to lose some rare gear. Jaran Vilktar wrote: And if you're prepared to lose some rare gear. If I bring rare gear into the equation I can make the Commando look like god. Cough Officer weapons Cough Ok, I got it. So everyone think's that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Commando's and that there is nothing wrong with Assault's being able to gain Heavy level HP while being considerably superior. Thank's for your participation. Assaults cant get anywhere near heavy level total hp. My amarr heavy has 750 armor and 450 shields without mods. that's 1200 hp there. An amarr assault gets roughly 600 total hp without mods. (assuming max hp skills) Assaults can get roughly 1000 hp with mods (but crap regen such as 2 armor regen) amarr heavies are slow with low stamina but they get roughly 1700hp with slightly better regen (roughly 5 armor regen) or 1600 hp with roughly 10 armor regen. (assaults may get better shield regen though)
Nirwanda Vaughns 1317	Posted - 2015.02.01 00:00:00 - [42] - Quote Assault is a specialized suit designed to kill a lot. Comamndos are jack-of-all-trades, being able to do many things but not truly excel at it, personally i'd prefer commandos to be uniform accross all races in their slot layouts similar to how they used to be with just Hi/Lo STD 1/1 ADV 2/2 PRO 3/3 it just allows them to be more flexible and not restricted fully to racial profiles of slot layouts and i think it allows more unique configurations. tweaks would need to be made to base HP values due to added slots in order for them not to become too OP but it would allow for far more variety to the suits. at the moment they're abit stale and boring with fittings. just tank it out and slap on a high end weapon Never argue with an idiot. they bring you down to their level and beat you through experience proud C-II bpo owner

Just because they get to use two light weapons shouldn't be a reason to have a suit like that , that's just so gimpy . The commando is a different flavor to assault but seems designed to have no range weaknesses if fitted with certain weapons. But that doesn't justify having worse shield regen and worse ewar and worse stamina stats and stamina regen and and worse shield regen delays and worse speed overall. They also have less slots which prevents them from reducing many of those weaknesses. They also have no grenade slot which prevents them from flushing enemies out of cover which is a great ability only mimicked by a mass driver. And they have less AV ability because packed AV grenades give you great initial damage per second at close range. Player skill can help them overcome these difficulties but if another player is just as skilled, those weaknesses really show themselves. The all commandos needs something such as much greater stamina. If all commandos were also had ewar mod efficacy bonuses added to there role bonus then they would be much better. I would try not to add more hp to commandos because they already get similar, sometimes higher hp levels than assault suits. Proto assault suits sometimes have more hp than commandos because commandos gain 1 extra slot per tier, while assaults gain 2 slots per tier.
