Kinetixx Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It's funny when they don't realise you're using HiB, full auto, demo round etc. Weaved into all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonidasSith Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Seriously Bioware when are you going to nerf these stupid spamming commandos ... all they know how to do is spamm that stupid grav round, wheres the skill in playing come on ... surely you didnt design the class to be like that because if you did that is pathetic. put a longer cooldown or a activation time ffs im sick of just getting 1 hit by 3 commandos running around together scared using nothing but shields and spamming that stupid same 1 skill and healing each other when they take the slightest bit of damage, how the hell do you expect other classes to even fight back with that when you nerf them. LOL edit: would you rather they didn't heal? Edited February 20, 2012 by LeonidasSith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirdthestrill Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yes, complain about the 23% of troopers being lame when the other 77% doing their job and doing it well. What are you trying to accomplish here? The guys who spam GR won't listen to you, and the guys that don't never did it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 He is angry because he cannot defeat 3 commandos at a time solo in pvp. That's what I took away from the rant lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelnikSP Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 That's what I took away from the rant lol I think he's trying to make 'GR spamming teaming healing' commandos feel guilty.. it's just that....it's hard to feel guilty when you are laughing so hard you soil yourself.

Stoj Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 As far as I'm concerned, priority 1 is to get the 5 armour debuff stacks up, then start normal damage rotation, only firing another grav round when the stack is about to finish. At lower levels, this means opening with 5 grav rounds, at higher levels, 3 (once you get the talent that puts two debuff stacks for each shot). Why wouldn't you maximise the damage you're dealing by keeping a full debuff stack up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neovag Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 As someone on the outside of this argument, is it not a rather dull playstyle? I'd be rather irritated if I had to use the same spell 3 or 5 times in a row, to ramp up to full damage. Saying that, it does seem a bit illogical that such a spell is also pretty high dmg, considering it is still essentially a filler nuke, there to proc other stuff, not just be spammed in and of itself. Although the OP has clearly licked many windows in his time, I do know what he means. As a deception assassin, I can just be shredded instantly or forced to cloak by a single commando, if I'm peeling a healer who happens to CC me, when my breaker is on CD.

BobaFurz Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) They have too high dmg when talking about the 10-49 brackets. Grav round doing 2200-2600 every 1.5 (same like the GCD) seconds from 30m range. Combine this with other abilities followed and you have almost the dmg of an operative, but from range. ....we need a combat log and I bet a lot of people would been suprised about the tests.

Miallen Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 This, the people spamming nothing but grav round are idiots. My demolition rounds hit for much more than any of my grav rounds hit for at 50. Full auto also crits for 2k+ 3 times in the duration it would take me to cast 1 grav round, especially with a proc. Not even to mention that they'll run out of ammo very quickly and be spamming hammer shot for a while being pretty much worthless. This is pretty much it. Commandos can be just as effective laying down AOEs, or dropping HIB and Demo on the run. However, if they allow me to plant my feet and start my own rotation, well...that's their problem to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a very similar post in the Bounty Hunter forum. I agree that it's annoying, but I'd rather fight a missile spamming BH than a lightning spamming Inquisitor any day of the week.

The thing is, very rarely will an enemy player (unless they're horrible) let me get off more than two before they start to interrupt/do something about it. We're not so great on the fly (or at least, not on the gunnery spec.) and it's this lack of combat mobility that is our biggest weakness. I've had enemies kite my max range while I try to cast, I've had them ducking behind pillars to break LoS every time I try to cast. Once a jedi closes the gap and starts wailing on you in melee range, you tend to not be as effective either. We're strong as a stationary turret, but there are so many things that you can and should do to counter this that it balances out quite nicely.
