Helig Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, I'm looking forward to see your opinions and +/- of each tree To begin with, they're drastically different as far as playstyle is concerned. Vanguard is close range, Commando is long range. Love Gunnery Commando myself. Tactically flexible, very adaptive and self-sufficient. A little stationary, but can do significant damage on the move, when it's needed. The main disadvantage probably is a significant degree of crit-dependence for burst damage. Moderately susceptible to interrupts, but this can be bypassed with 2x TO instants. I also run a Powertech (vanguard mirror), switching between tank and AP. The pull is great - highly annoying on the receiving end, and provides you with tactical leverage. Both AP and Pyro (Assault and Tactics for Vanguards) are getting buffed in 2.4, and, from what I've seen, the class becomes very solid. Less self-sufficient than Commando, has limited escape/self-peel options. Edited September 8, 2013 by Helig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuNtOziO Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 From what ive seen on the PTS so far vanguards are looking very good again in 2.4. Commandos are in a good place currently as well. Roll whatever you enjoy playing the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckeyduckey Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Pt/Vanguard. COmmando's still suffer from lack of mobile damage (Only have 2 high damage instants unless in Assault, one of which requires grav round to use.) Commando's overall damage is higher IF left untouched. However, against a good team, a vanguard will deal significantly more damage. PT is my main, and I never -not- come top damage. Even against smashers. I have a Merc alt, but it bores me. However, it's got solid damage, and solid survivability. I still prefer the Powertech, because I can get Immortal much quicker.
