I fully agree that we should only require one branch, or be given better CL's. However I was weighing up the usefulness of 4xxx vs xx4x.

4xxx - everyone that is serious about sampling DNA simply has to have 4xxx. Effectively this forces a SP requirement of 135 SP. That leaves only 115 points.

xx4x - gives us a boost to harvesting, but the difference when playing in a group is negligible, you harvest so much anyway. Solo people that absolutely have to solo are usually rangers anyway and so have the extras there anyway.

I guess what I am trying to say is that a requirement of 4xxx would suit me better, andI thought most other BE's too.

The current limitation is workable. Obviously your change would be helpful. It would be more helpful, though, for BE to get a CL rating.

The requirements should ONLY be Medic 0004 which is in-line with other crafting professions requiring only one branch.

-OR-

Give BEs combat level which is in-line with all other 2 Branch requirements.

yeh didn't make sense when u really need mask scent

Although it's a good idea, Scout is getting a revamp in line with the new Ranger revamp so I'd wait and see before crying for changes

the ranger requirement shift over to marksman is devastating to my template.

i don't know if this is upsetting to any other BEs other than me.

but, there goes my ability to use stim-Ds.

although i suppose the point breakdown would be the same if they get rid of master scout.

okay, i just talked myself in a circle.

UPDATE: i'm upset again.

to anyone doing the calculations: the highest CL we can achieve post ranger requirement shift will be CL 57, unless someone can point out otherwise.

goodbye stims.

What he is suggesting is something beneficial for BE's. I don't view his comment as crying at all.

Crying is when you threaten to quit if they don't do what you want.

I think you have been in the BH & Jedi forums to much and its jaded you

Hey yeah don't get me wrong, I'm not moaning or anything, it was a suggestion. I never asked for a petition or anything like that, although I suppose the word campaign might have been too strong.

Like I said before, it simply makes more sense, as we most all have the scout 4xxx line anyway for mask scent, and the harvesting line could essentially be dropped quite easily.
