Got kicked out while trying to make a call. Can't get in anymore. Server status isn't up to date as usual. Hope the systems managers are awake. It's sunday so no one might be there.

There were some useful tips and insights in this tread. Thanks to all. By now I have War Hero gear with 2 pieces Tionese for the bonus. I have still to exchange the modules on the Tionese gear and augment all the gear. As a fresh 50 you never have enough augment kits, augments and money for placing or even buying them but I'm working on that. The 22 aim augments I couldn't find on the auction house so I took one tier lower. Against good geared people who really kinow what their doing I'm still gone in a second but at least I do some damage now and my survivability is up a little. I havent found a good Assault Specialist build yet only half/half builds so if someone can point me to the best build to get to put out good damage while mobile that would be very nice.

Thanks, will do that.

True. You don't even need leg-shot. Without Grav-Round I think I need 100 shots or more to take someone down. People either just ignore commando's or they slash them down quickly as easy bonus kill. We need to get some more survivability (armor?) AND do more damage. But only in PvP. We're fine in PvE.

I leveled my commando to 50 and it's a great class to quest with. When I started PvPing I found out the hard way our class gets eaten and doesn't make a dent. After 50 that gets even worse! I can be very useful and I do enough damage in PvE (daylies or Operations, etc.) but I die in 1-3 hits in PvP and am even unable to kill an enemy with grav Rounds and High Impact Bolts. Even when they stand still long enougfh to let me do 10 shots!!!! No matter what class. I don't have the best PvP gear yet but its not the lowest stuff and I fear gear isn't gonna make it. The difference is too great. Since I like the class and like PvP I try to be useful by interrupting the enemy and by trying to keep enough distance so I can do at least a little damage. A lot of people already complained about this but I see patches come and go but nothing changes! So please FIX OUR CLASS so we can have fun in PvP too!

... but since nobody seems to be at the controls it might take a long time before it's up. I'm in the middle of a dungeon so there goes my rested time for today/tomorrow.

Is that systems manager jerking off somewhere or what?! I mean, no message on the support page except for the automated server down. It seems they didn't even notice! Baaaad communication And put up a second english PvE server already!
