I've been playing my commando on the PTS for a few days now. So far I've had pretty good success against the top tier teams (usually we split matches). Commandos have to work a lot harder for the win than most melee cleaves. The problem is against good double marauder/sentinel teams it's nearly impossible to get many casts off as gunnery. So lately I've been playing assault and having success with that, but the burst isn't quite there, it's lacking something. I think one big change that would definitely help commandos would be what blizzard did to hunters in WoW, allowing them to cast their shots while moving. Just that alone would be a big help to gunnery.

The individual skill of the players in Synergy is below many of the top-end pvp guilds (MVP and Don't Panic) with the exception of Hood-rat and Baddies. Before they switched to the 3 scoundrel comp they would be consistently farmed all night. So Sifu changed to the 3 scoundrel comp to cover up for their individual weaknesses. Their dps and a few healers might not be that good, but now they never die with 3 scoundrel healers. BDS does whatever it takes to try to win games (3 scoundrels, huttball macros), so obviously us complaining about their comp is not going to make them change it. But in Sifu's quest to win rateds he has turned fun matches into long, boring turtle fests.

BDS is pretty good, but he's no Yul Brenner. Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up it's bobsled time. COOL RUNNINGS!
