ClassiCKlynch Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 im just trying to figure out if i should go commando/vanguard and then which spec i should go with. i love healing but i think i would rather be dps or tank in this game. 1) i heard combat medic is kinda weak compared to sage, is it even worth being a medic?2) does gunnery put out enough damage to become one?3) for vanguard, can they even tank at all? or should i go straight dps vanguard?

BlasterFace Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 From what I've read on the skill trees, Assault Specialist is the PvP spec for commando dps. You'll have the basic healing spells of course, just not the talents. Gunnery and combat medic will work in pvp if you can manage to stay back from the melee. But the good combat medic heals require casting, and you'll end up getting stunned a lot. Same goes for Gunnery--basically similar to Arcane Mage or MM Hunter from WoW. Assault specialist has a lot of instant and DoT spells that make you more mobile. I'm only level 30, so take it with a grain of salt, but that's my observation about commando. idk about vanguard, haven't played it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos_FTW Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I play a Gunnery Commando. All you have to know is how to properly position for fights. If you charge in and expect to win, you won't. Proper positioning is key to playing the Gunnery Commando as well as the Combat Medic. Assault spec has more mobility, but I believe is a little lackluster in damage.

I play Gunnery commando and you have to take a "not an in-the-fray" style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutious Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I would not say that Combat Medic isn't worth playing. Currently, yes, sages have the edge in PVE healing. This is partly a balancing issue and partly a design issues where a good deal of the PVE content is biased towards the Sage's healing package. If they want people to play this game long term that will be balanced, as class balance is a huge complaint in any MMO that gets it wrong, so I am not worried. I've solo healed Bonethrasher as a CM, so we have the power. It is a harder playstyle, I think. As for PVP, I think we are the best healers going right now. I am never beat by sages in Warfront healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnery puts out good dps, but make sure you understand and are ok with the play style, which is very mage-like 3. Vanguard is best PVE tank in game at the moment. Vanguard DPS is much lower than gunnery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahknorath Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm a gunnery commando and like others say, consider yourself as a machine gunner in a bunker, you're absolutely annoying if you can stay out of fray, I haven't tried combat med, but from what I've seen from others, it's heavily similar to what I said about gunnery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
