Bro, have you not seen the Star Wars movies? Look at how bad/stupid stormtroopers were; that's the Commando/Vanguard whether you want to accept it or not. Like 5 of them couldn't even kill ******** Luke when he was trapped on that ledge. Or how about when they found Princess Leah on that ship, she capped one and the blast didn't even hit him yet he fell over. All troopers were good for was jackin' Jawas and jumping Jedi's when they had their backs turned. Troopers are supposed to be bad according to the LORE damnit. That's why, until subs run out, you need to abandon your Commando and play a Sentinel. Easy fix.

We all know SWTOR has been a huge flop, why are we even upset at this point? I'm done caring, GW2 is inbound and that will be the second nail in the coffin for this game; the first nail was 1.2, great job Bioware, you killed your own game, standing ovation!!!! SWTOR will be free to play by the time MoP arrives without a doubt. What some people don't understand is that PvP now makes or breaks a game, and if you break the PvP in said game it's done like dinner.

What do Commandos have that puts them on par with other classes? Let's see the side by side that you have put together. People like you make me laugh, you come here attempting to make yourself out to be some messiah of the Commando class, like you have all the answers that we haven't been smart enough to figure out. We all play the other classes and we see how bad the Commando is lacking when we compare them. Please, don't come here with your "on paper" theories and conjecture and try to tell us how to play, thank you.

Please, everyone, ignore this guy. We have told him so many times what is important and what isn't in PvP yet he still comes here and attempts to lecture us all. Overall damage means nothing if it can be healed through; dropping DoTs all over the place and Hammer Shotting isn't doing much but annoying people; a Marauder or Assassin's self heals will heal through that. Now MasterRodimus, please bear with us mere mortals and listen: if all of the n00b Commandos really felt that Assault was in fact the new "land of milk and mother****ing honey" don't you think we'd all be Assault? Please, just let it go.

When I said a few weeks ago that my fresh 50 Sentinel was ruining BM Mercs/Commandos I was scoffed at; all the highly skilled Marauders and Sentinels cried foul and then attempted to lecture me on how difficult their class was to play and how only really good Marauder players can dominate a Commando in PvP... <--- this was my only reply.

No problem my friend. I just try to keep it real as a mother****er and in doing so I have received a few warnings from the forum mods. Fear not though my fellow soldiers, I'll keep fighting the good fight until we Commandos see justice.

I think having an ability like Snipers/Slingers have (Cover) that makes them immune to interrupt and being leapt on is something I'd like to see on my Commando. We have to be stationary a lot of the time anyways and our main attacks are cast. Eh, it's too much to ask for though and probably would be too much in the way of buffing the class. IMO, the Commando/Merc needs a full overhaul to be worth playing. I'd be down with them (Bioware) removing the class from the game entirely TBH and giving me an equivalent Gunslinger.

Sentinel and Marauder players are suffering from a severe case of denial. The whole "only good players can play the Marauder really really good" bit is just a joke at this point. The class is not hard to play and even sub par players can see great success with the class. A friend of mine with severe injuries to his hands plays a Sentinel and appears to do very well but on his Scoundrel he's just really bad and always has been. In WoW he played a Druid and was "a great healer" but on a Priest he was just bad. Anyways, I for one don't see a need to nerf the Sentinel/Marauder or the Assassin/Shadow (which are imba as well IMO) or any other class, just bring all the other classes up to their level. Of course that would make all you "skilled" Marauder players cry a river, God forbid things get difficult, right? I can see it now: "OMG I bled my own blood!"

I'm sorry, not all classes are equal, especially in PvP.

I'm in full BM and have been and I still get hit for over 5k by Smash (Force Sweep). Is that fair and balanced? Ask Fox News, maybe they have the answer.

There has to be changes coming and soon, at least I hope so. Should the powerful classes be nerfed? No. Buff the weaker classes to be on par with the powerful classes. I could have seen certain powerful classes being buffed even more if the Commando hadn't been hit so hard or even at all. Were Commandos picking on the poor Marauders and Assassins? No, those classes were tearing us up before 1.2 and now it's exacerabated with our decreased damage and survivability. The developers at Bioware are so transparent with their favoritism it's not even funny.

Exactly. Mediocre, poor and dumb are all I have left.

Of course the class still functions but it's nowhere near the level that it needs to be especially when compared to the other ranged classes. Please stop trying to sell us your Kool-Aid, we're not drinking it.

Wow...just...wow.
