Go commando or wait?

[Pandabomber]

I dont think sharpshooter is terrible at soloing , its pretty good.

It's really not. You're screwed on a corridor map like Town or City like anyone else is, and the reload time for the best crossbow at the moment that's widely available, the Siege Crossbow, takes a long time to reload, while also having to stand still. Engaging in melee is a must - but once a Sharpshooter does, he's a mediocre Commando, which I'm fine with, because otherwise Commando's wouldn't have a job. The Ornate Espada may be stronger than the Steel Sword, but a Sharpshooter has much less survivability, and is probably the slowest out the four classes, having to carry a full equipment load.
