Commando needs some more CC or interrupts...

Well, this thread just went from boring to awesome pretty quickly.

You bet, I just was in WZ and an Arsenal Merc healed from 10% to 100% HP in 1 cast while his summoned Spaceship pet started nuking me and I had no turret around to disable it. Tru storee.

On the topic: you are welcome to roll a Sniper, all the CC and interrupt immunity you ever wanted... What? No heals and heavy armor, you say? Too bad, can't have everything... Which brings me to the main point.


You can't have EVERYTHING, bro!

you don't need an interrupt ****.

This post is almost 3d, made my head spin reading it.

I know, if they cant play without thinking they have an instant whinge to BW for an improvement to their class or a nerf to the class they lose to, it is so sad.

ive used our basic attack in pvp and you can barely notice it so no, its the same as sitting there for 4 secs

immune to steathers? have you ever used that ability? it has a small radius so unless you already know where a steather is or is going its worthless and being on a 20 sec cd its not spammable

how is electro dart the best stun in the game? its single target, ive seen other stuns that are aoe

that "dispel" does not clear everything, idk how that makes it good

its a typical mezz that ive seen most classes do

how is jetboost the best knockback? all it gives is a snare, not a root so i fail to see how its better than the sorc knockback

10% damage reduction is nice but its not a lot and it only has noticeable numbers on higher hits which is what we dont want

we do as well as melee classes? is that why we are so good 1v1? i hate to tell you this but we are only good when we are left alone, other wise life sucks. oh and fyi, a 1.5 sec activated ability is not burst. im not sure two abilities is considered burst but ok. lol @ faceroll

I'm a marauder and my only cc reliable (as in not rooting me while I'm channeling) is against droids which breaks on damage

I agree with OP.

A Merc/Commando gets completly locked down when they get hit, its not only interupts that interupt, you can interupt one skill, then stun them when they use next, then stun them agaain when they use next, and then interupt will be up again.

A commando will loose about 75% of their attacks and can hardly do anything just standing there as a puppet.

If you get interupted you CAN cast another skill, problem is all skills have casting time and inductions, so all of them can be interupted.

A good pyrotech on me, can kill me with a blindfold, a good marauder will interupt and stun me over and over (pyrotech harder then marauder though) an operative will kill me very fast, if i try to run away, that just opens my back to them for more high hitting attacks..

A huge lack of "get away" skills is a huge deathsign for commandos/mercs

I dont know what a interupt would do for a commando/merc though, the only one we can use it against is eachother. Most of sorc/sage skills are instant, even if you interupt them, they gotten of a fair amount of damage, whereas the commando/merc havent started doing damage until half their inductionbar. Actually almost all classes are insta skill users except commando/merc

Sorcs need burst ability, news at eleven.

Literally no class in this game needs more CC. There are some classes that should get less. The BH/Trooper classes should have less stuns than everyone else, they are a ranged pewpew class...
