OK, time to get down to business. We all know that commandos are good and all, but you don't know that you could still lose a lot in PvP/CTF. The main reasons are your build and your strategies. I have all classes so I will soon make a guide for Engineers. First thing is first, your gear. It is important to the battle. You would think that since you have custom then you would win against another "Red" commando, but that is not the case. It is how efficiently you use your gear.A good substitute for a Nova Blaster is a Chaos Breather and it's only 5-9k out of your pocket. That way, you could still win.A good shield could be either the platinum store shield Blackstar Shield OR a regular l35 purple shield. Holiday shields don't do you any good.
Now for your build, you need skills that represent Damage, Armor Buff, and Regen of heal/mana. Here is a good build that i had just tried out on my commando a few minutes ago.

I love it personally. People always over do their mana regen, but i think 6 is too much. This is the photo for lvl40, add further points to Kinetic Energy. Special shout out over to BOEJANGLES! thanks for your guide man. P.S, i didn't take his info, i just read it to see if i was wrong in anyway.
Class;
Engineer:
For a commando to beat a engineer is very common, but one thing about engineers is that they have to be prepared to use their DOTs and run. For a commando to kill an eng, make it a fast battle and use;
Kinetic Energy>Rage>Increase Mass>Graviton Slam>Vigor>Singularity>Neuron Stomp>and the last killer move Backbreaker! then they will be dead.
Operative:
These guys are tough, but they can be beat. A few minutes ago, i tested out to see how operatives fight. Most of them fight head on with good damage skills in their build so when you are fighting them, make sure you stay in the middle of the map. That way if they lurch you, you could get away from their harmful attacks. Now the aggressive kiters , make sure you use Graviton Slam and stand near the pillars so that when they try lurching and running, you would be able to use the Singularity. That way, you could get into stomping range and throw rag doll combos at them and yell "TASTE MY RAG DOLL COMBO". Commandos are tough guys and need to show that more.
Commando:
Commando vs. Commando isn't based on tactics. Commandos are the only class that jump into the battleground to kill. They always do head on clashes when facing one another. To kill one, you must have a build like mine. Its really simple to make your own build, but that'll be in a different thread. So for commandos, all you have to do is try your hardest and use a lot of combos. And one tip, in the beginning of the battle, save your Increase Mass for after the opponent throws their Singularity and Neuron Stomp at you. That is the moment you use Increase Mass because Increase Mass lowers your Dodge and dodging knockdowns are crucial to you health. That way you can dodge their knockdowns and get a good armor count for when all they can do is shoot you. That preserves your HP by 10% so you could win against Custom commandos with your cheap red armor!
