But from a purely statistic point of view, i'd tend to agree with the CPU\PG, the base speed (did you skill the biotic skill that raise sprint speed passively ?), the radar signature (has to be between assault and heavy) and base HP.
Regarding slots (low, high, grenade etc..) on the other hand, it needs to be a fitting wise limited suit. Slot layout is thus ok by me. Real pain seems to be the pg\cpu more than anything. Beside, dont forget you will probable get racial variant of this commando. Anyway good feedback as it shows the commando is not the totally useless piece of crap everyone was qqing about.
i'm pretty sure it's a fun suit to play with. That could be even funnier with slight adjustments.
If the suit follows suit (heh) with the other racial variant conventions and no changes are made beyond PG / CPU then we wiill have some seriously bad POS commando suits. What would the Minny eHP look like on this? 210/210? Maybe some extra speed 1 extra high slot? and the same awful shield repair?
The current speeds vs eHP is really just awful and then a bonus like melee damage? really?
Commando just under-performs in all areas right now. 2 light weapons isnt a big deal. Want to run Swarm with AR? Well, really, how much better are you than a Medium with Swarms and SMG? Once skills are maxed (commando absolutley relies on passives and max weapons) the SMG isnt the hugest downgrade from an AR considering a medium suit can be so much more versitile. Tank for more HP, faster movement by default and faster potential builds, stacking damage mods, carrying a grenade AND equipment. Commando just cant compete with medium or heavy.
I had recommended in another thread that a potential fix would be to make one of the light slots a heavy weapon slot. Keep all existing stats the same but add more PG/CPU. Now you have the potential for huge firepower with very low mobility and survivability along with providing the "Weapon combo" goodness that is the draw of the suit.
Its still a fun suit in its current form, but it still has to dig itself out of the "piece of crap" hole along with current scout suits. |
