Change to Commando

[Swadius]

Commando seem to be the most used and overpowering class so why not make them slightly harder to play as?

We could reduce their stats all round.

Then my friend, which class you'd be; a 2hander slasher with best damage output and with best armors, or an ordinary shielder who only have his/her shield with mediocre armors? Answer this honestly please. For an example me, who also shield most of the time when playing because of lack of shielders in-game in hard mode or normal mode; i will chose 2hander class over that shielder of yours. And other 8 commandos out of 10 who can shield right now with current commando class too, because they are already not shielding even while having kite shields over their shoulders and even after seeing their shielders dead; they just keep slashing till everybody in team is dead... Its all slash-slash-slash for commandos already. At least right now there are few people who shield because they can with current commando class.

If you dont give that new shielder class something he/she can chose over new damage-dealer commando, he/she wont chose it no matter what. In my example, that's better defence than others. He is a shielder; a defender so isnt it more suitable to have most defence out of all classes? Also why should a 2hander damage dealer get best armors too? (lol) Where is the balance in that? It just sounds like you want your favourite 2hander damage dealer class with best armors out there to be playable in NI .

I disagree.

if you have 2 shielder class people and 3 commando people in a map, it is the same as having 5 commandos in a game minus the ability for shielders to change to slashers. Also, having a shielder class promotes afking. Who would want to just sit through games over and over standing still and pressing u so the shield stays up?

Nerf the commando? Please dont give them anymore of these ideas... I'd say boost the pikemen to make them more logic as slashers.

[Swadius]

We could keep the commando but make 2 very specialized classes.

I disagree with the idea. Seeing now that its already hard enough for the redshirts up to the tier 3 people to even make it to skirm round on normal. If you were to make a sole sheilder class as you have said giving them a 1h and a great sheild with great armor. Isnt that the same as a commando? lol. The commando is a great all around class and I say we keep it as it is. If you were to make another class it would be even harder for the new people playing this as we all know how long it takes to level your character up let alone having an alt class. My final word is...Keep it the way it is.

Commando class split to twohander & Shielder  ??

I have only one word to say to this: No.

[alee56]

imo the simple fix would be to nerf commando 2 handed usage and move most of the top tier 2 handers to the pikeman (but re-name pikeman to something else), so commandos would be left with strong armor and shields and the new pikeman gets strong slashing weapons to balance thier weak armor, just my 2cents

[Bas]

Disagree.

[Jalau]

disagree! Commando is good like its now! Because you have the choice what you are going for! And a shielder class is boooooooorrrring!!!
