So is ther eANYTHING a commando can do other than sit and die in pvp

[WoWGoneBad]

ok i will admit i am pretty late in the pvp game here.

but seriously how do you dps commandos survive in pvp nowadays, my last pvp was about 2-3 months ago so i am way to rusty and have a huge gear disparity to all these WH(augmented) ppl out there.

what are the current pvp specs if anybody can help me and since im gear shot would augmenting gear with some endurance help me out??

any advice would be great i consider myself a fresh pvper even though i do have some BM gear but heard that nowadays its crap

Commandos are suppose to get guard priority and a tank should be spot taunting melee that are on the commando.

A second way commandos can protect themselves is to go cybertech. The wyntech cyro grenade offers an escape against 1-4(5?) melee.

If you're in Full Battlemaster with full augments on every piece of gear you should do considerably better since most Augmented all 12 pieces of gear the day they were allowed. If you are completely augmented thats +360 stats of your choosing other than the endurance side of all the Augments which is huge in survivability. I Have 4 pieces of Warlord on my Sage and she hits sooooo much harder than my Inf Shadow thats Full blown Warlord Augmented. Commandos took a serious nerfing after 1.2 if I recall correctly

People say it all the time but it really comes down to pvping with another person perferrably a tank with shield get matched up with other premades

Maybe I'm missing something, but there's 14 slots in this game, and they can all be augmented, so not sure why you're saying 12 unless you're assuming that everyone had already, previous to 1.3, augmented 2 slots?

OP, I play a commando, gunnery spec and before I knew about recruit gear, I regular got whacked pretty quickly. Once I got recruit gear, I didn't get killed so easily and had some time pop my shield, heal or just run away. Now that I have a full set of partially augmented Battlemaster gear, I can hold my own pretty well.

I kinda suck at pvp, it's not my massive skills that keep me alive. It's mostly having good gear and a bit of common sense.

Very much this. There was a dev post awhile back explaining about how expertise is the most important stat in PvP and that if you don't have it you will be killed really really quickly. The Recruit Gear helps to at the very least give you a fighting chance, once you get gear beyond that it gets even better. If however you have the better PvP gear and you are still getting killed super quick there is something very wrong going on.

Aslo, pyrotech specialized commandos are awesome. Great spec, with a lot of DPS and utility.

Being a DPS Gunnery Commando in a WZ can be tough. You have some of the worst mobility in the game (though not the worst), casting abilities are your main DPS, heavy armor that doesn't do much for protection/was recently nerfed, not that great of escape-ability, ramp up time to full damage capability and a complete lack of an interrupt.

The only real upside is that a Commando can put out some serious damage if left alone. However, chances of that happening aren't that high unless the other team is bad. Commandos are regularly one of the first focus fire targets along/after healers due to their lack of mobility, survivability and ease of locking down casts. Unless you are playing with team members who realize this and support you against a decent team, things can be a little rough.

most tanks that use guards use them on the healers and i dont blame them more heals equals more survive also it gets them their badges faster
