Finrok Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Do you like them equally or favor one over the other? Is it due to pvp? pve? playstyle? tanking? healing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarry Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I prefer tanking, but the Vanguard appeals more to me due to the mobility if the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loveshock Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I can match your dmg, exceed it normally, and do it while moving! Oh, and not being able to be interrupted is why I do more dmg than you. Oh and if more than 1 person is on me im not automatically screwed. Oh, and I see bigger critz. Oh, and my armor looks better. Oh, and I got grappling hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embrosil Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I like vanguard over commando because commando wearing that huge BFG seems, well how to put it, strange. And when a commnado starts healing by releasing a green beam from that BFG, I do not know whether to laugh or cry. But that is my opinion only.

TheNightWatch Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Let's keep this goin I'm wondering the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottHK Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm currently not at this stage. I'm levelling it up to play with my friends and we like to PvP a lot. I've heard that the Commando is a powerhouse of death that is easily interrupted. Not sure I quite like the idea of being fully capable of dishing out armageddon but if any competant player comes across you, you're screwed. I've heard that the Vanguard has a respectable amount of damage, high in mobility, utility and CC. I like the sound of this. Sounds like a champion class for pvp.

MeanMartian Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I wanted to play a ranged DPS class with cast times and for that reason the commando appealed to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro-Protagonist Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have always loved the "root and nuke" classes. Gunnery is the perfect spec for me. I also love to see the big numbers pop up from my grav round and demo round. I tried the Assault Specialist spec, but the strong steady damage just doesn't do it for me.

Oh, and I got grappling hook. What terrible commandos do you play with that you outdamage? The only time a vanguard contests me on damage in PvP is when they have a pocket healer and I queued solo. Not saying it doesn't happen, just saying it's uncommon for the tanky DPS to come near the ranged glass cannons.

RangerLee Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I am a full heal spec commando, great for PvE, but I have come to realize that I suck bad in PvP. I have never won a 1 on 1 encounter. Guess I have to respec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinglanevothree Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I like the commando better because I want to play the DPS game. In all MMORPGs that I have played I have always chosen the melee tank character. I want to change and try out a ranged DPS as my main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregMD Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Vanguards are better overall in PvP and bring more to the table than dps commandos. I **** on pretty much every class 1v1, as opposed to just hiding while spamming ground round and hoping someone doesn't realize I'm there. Not to mention I can taunt, guard people, and harpoon ball carriers. Dps commandos are overrated. Edited February 3, 2012 by GregMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
