Today i learnt a hard truth, Legendaries make the build.
So, going back, i decided to do a tanky character to farm equip for other builds.
Comando is one of my favorites, because blastshield sinnergize in a very good way with a shield build. I use cadence because the hit three buddies at the same time add aoe to a skill that is amazing as a single target damage doer. Blind fury adds more aoe and targos hammer are like a cherry top to a already delicious cacke.
So, imagine my dismay when every piece of legendary equipment was made for witchblade, with shared bonuses for skills on both trees. Imagine my tears of frustration when every damm piece began dropping.
Meanwhile the best my comando could do at lvl 60 was to equip a perdition set and live as a hybrid cadence/retaliation build.
The gods above in the great sky of developer angels must want. No, i think they are ordering me to go witchblade.
Must i defy the gods and die cursing them like so many greeks heroes, or i should i surrender to my fate?
Thing is i usually play on green substances and spirits, after 9 hours of kitchen work. So i kinda need a shield just to offset my slow reaction speed.
Also heres my defiance again, because everybody says “(vulgar version of the word fornicate) shields”
Edit: im already at 13k of sheet dps, warborn comando have 17k at lvl 85 with legendary equips
Not very little at all, cadence commado is my main Gladiator crucible farmer. It’s a beast.
Edit. I don’t know if you are following Ceno’s build or doing a shield build with Markovian or warborn. If it’s not Ceno’s You don’t need so many points in fighting form.
You also don’t have Assassin’s Mark. You will do very low damage vs tough bosses/Nemeses without it.
Doesn’t really matter what bonuses appear on items, CoF is better than anything Demo has to offer, and Occultist has the same passives otherwise. I can imagine Blast shield and an aoe stun retaliation benefitting some squishier classes like Arcanist, but for something as tanky as a Soldier, damage boost from CoF is just what the doctor ordered.
tl;dr - I can’t imagine Commando ever being a useful class as long as WB is as broken as it is. If they undo some Fire strike nerfs or nerf Cadence back into the dirt, maybe.
Triggered…when i complete the set i’m making and internal trauma build with Oleron instead of Bulwark. Thanks:rolleyes: …as if i’m not starting too many builds already
Which is the reason why my Poison Sabotuer and Lightning Warder(i’m working on others but this is the closest to completion) never made it to the forums.
This. Although due to cadence changes, great equipment choice (warborn, markovian), huge flat phys from menhirs b, and shield training, op overguard any phys shield build with soldier survivability, and in some cases dmg, vise is far above any other melee build.
My builds are almost never in the compendium anymore because I have no idea which compendium to use and who’s in charge. Seems to change with the wind.
