http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjYsibnuTIY We still got something but perhaps not the best !

I do admit that commando's lack uniqueness but we still pull of good damage I don't see why I wouldnt get a spot.. Perhaps people rather take vanguards, I don't know. Havn't got a spot for rwz yet anyway.

Hi everyone! Been trying to find a group for rwz with random players lately but I'v been turned down for one sole reason: "We don't like commando dps, sorry mate but your class aint good enough" hell... My performance as a gunnery commando after 1.3 have been great! I end up 1-3 top dps/kills every decent game I play but still I'm not welcome... Time to open up your eyes people commando gunnery is back!

Thank you! I don't think players on Lord Calypho will get the chance to move to be honest since it's the only RP-PvP server. I don't got the patience to wait for paid transferrs either besides I wouldnt pay for it either. But thanks for the answer!

Hi! Do anyone know or perhaps if some bioware employe sees this, if you can move your legacy betwine servers? All my characters and legacy are stuck on Lord Calypho (we didnt get the chance to transfer) and I want to move my legacy to the new server I rerolled on, is this possible? Would be nice to move some credits aswell. Thank you.

I love "1v1 encounters" part, run or die great I get the feeling I'm playing a wonderful class! I'm totally useless if someone attacks me! yay! Lets try to run away, ooh wait! I just got pulled, jumped or my enemy just ran to me with speedbuff. I'v given up on running away instead I just deal as much damage possible before I die or manage to kill my target off. Since Commando don't have any escape ability I find running away to be a bad tactic. Of course you can pre-action kite, like go los if your 6th sense start tingeling and you know someone is coming for ya. Started a Vanguard and I have been playing more and more on that toon instead of my commando, much more fun to be the predator than it is to be sheep.

thanks for the replies! I'v been trying out being the "support" dps you mentioned and somewhat it's easier to except that you get stomped once a jugg/mara jumps you. Our damage + cc as gunnery got alot of potential but it's as you say, it's not a "faceroll" class and sometimes it's damn impossible to pull off something useful. Due to "long" cast times and no tool to break snares/roots (in the gunnery tree that is) commandos feels alittle underpowered if you take a look at sages for example with speed boosts instant cc, roots, range interrupt and so on. I still play my commando since I enjoy it but I would enjoy it even more if our role gets abit more defined, as it is now we are just alittle of everything. cheers again for the answers. Also about the tips, I'm fully aware of pretty much everything you mentioned ^^

Heya everyone! Been thinkin' lately about what role do a commando have in PvP as dps? I find that something is lackin, am I supose to be a turret (stand still and actually do damage) before I get bashed or am I supose to run around using hammershot? Been playing around with both assult specialist and gunnery they have their own benefits but I'm not very satisfied. I can empty a full clip of ammo without killing my target and if I get attacked it's pretty much over. I consider myself a good pvper and I'm use to the playstyle (played elemental shaman in world of warcraft 1700-1800 rated arena 2v2 and 3v3) but still I can't figure out how to kill a melee class. So I wonder, if I want to be of any use to my team during warzones should I just try to deal as much damage as possible before someone notice me or should I run around trying to survive the best I can? perhaps off-heal as dps? I don't know. What role do a commando have in PvP?

How exactly does that work? how do you take down a similar gear/skilled melee class? The lacking of tools to be competative just shines when it comes to commando. "don't be a turret" well commando gunnery aint dealing that much damage if we don't actually stand still to either channel or cast something, my on the run abilities are, sticky bomb,stockstrike, hammershot. Anyway it doesnt matter anymore just respec'd assult specialist because the lack of mobility in Gunnery so far it working out much better.

haha! perhaps, well sadly enough I think we are already on the toplist for the "most gimped class in mmo history"

Like gravity round share same cooldown with stockstrike, fill up 5 armor debuffs at once + knockback = greatness, much less spamming and bioware just forfilled their goal with gravity round!

Ah crap, it would be great, would it?!

Hi Bioware and fellow players! Just checked the "classes" section on this site and I happend to discover something cool! I went on to the trooper > commando and looked at the four abilities that are supose to stand out for each commando specialization and there it was, "Charged Barrel" = "Charged Rounds increase the damage of your next hammershot by 10%, last 6 sec" Is this something for the future!? If so it would be great! it would increase our mobility by alot and perhaps even make us a threat in PvP once agian. Please respond bioware, you got my hopes up!

Hmm, it was pretty much the same pre 1.2 just that when a caster got off an attack it actually dealt damage. I had this scenario 1v1 agianst a tank juggernaut once, just him and me alone at mid civil war, he used all his might stright away with leap, force push, leap bash/smash whatever and then started to interrupt nearly every gravity round I tried to pull off. Then I got one gravity round off and it hit for 700 damage that's just weak considering I got 1205 expertise (full battlemaster) alittle off-topic but still. Since there are so meny interrupt don't you think a caster should be able to deal some damage once they actually succesfully cast something?

This is something Bioware need to look into! I know that meny want to play ranged but they pay the heavy price of being bad in PvP. I like being ranged and I like playing PvP but it all boiled down to this decision: Stay ranged and suck at pvp or go melee and get good at PvP. which is sad. In one of my other threads this guy told me to reroll gunslinger but that just aint happening since I enjoy being a trooper. Perhaps there will be a hotfix/rewamp on this matter soon so stay vigilant my ranged brethern, don't unsub!
