Hey, that's what i told to Hypernoma yesterday on irc, infantry needs some love!!
Atm, there is no real specialization from commando:
- Armors are almost the same, no need to be commando to have a good armor (even sniper can have 50 armor).
- huscarl shield is too banal, anyone can have one at wave 1, any level32 "noob" can grab 3 huscarl shield and be efficient as a commando.
- weapons : with poleaxe and cutter, knight are more powerful than a commando (cutter is almost better than an obsi), steel sword is nice but doesn't make a big difference.
- stat : same no big difference here, commando doesn't have a real better damage resistance. Neither they do better damages.
Only role is meat shield, but anyone can do it, commando doesn't find his place and doesn't give any different advantages to his team.
I don't speak of reward this is another problem, stated in many other threads.
Some options and ideas that could be found on forum :
- higher strengh cap (will give a bit of damage and resistance) and more PS)
- more IF (better resistance)
- a better shield than huscarl, what about a swadian round steel shield? (With a better resistance to crushthrough)
- better armor, only for commando that can allow to take huge load of damage
- a new ability : short burst of damage or armor once per round
- better pierce and blunt weapons
- may be double the hit point
The idea is not to allow commando to solo waves, but to give more interest in this class and more fun to players.
Commando are a must in normal mod, it's disapointing when you go on hard, you feel like a poor puppy that try to bite with his little teeth but didn't hurt anyone, puppy are cute, give some love to puppy
