Master Brawler - the conclusion of your basic training in the four melee classes.
I can wield swords, axes, knives, batons, my fists, lances, and staffs; however, I suffer the X second delay in switching between weapon style.
As a Master Brawler, i can inflict status effects using:unarmed/polearmto stun, 1h to dizzy and unarmed to blind. Yet, i have to wait X seconds between changing weapons to do so.
I also have the ability to target each of my opponent's HAM pools: 1h for health, 2h for mind, polearm for action. I stillmust wait X seconds before changing weapons to do so.
With the introduction of weapon switching delay in the latest publish, i would like to suggest that Master Brawlers should be able to switch weapons faster; it should be a benefit of mastering the profession.
Thoughts, ideas, flames?

I have been and will continue to ask for this. So far no response 
I proposed when I first learned of this that Master Brawler and Master Marksman not have the delay. If I get any news about it, I will post.
I made another post about it.

Good call Mapai.
Can you tell us why the delay was even created? (ie "what were the devs thinking?")
I see the reason for the armor switching delay (with the Jedi revamp, to stop jedi switching between composite/robe for specials). What was the reason for the weapon switch delay?
I feel for the poor BH. Three elite trees dedicated to different weapons, yet with a large delay in switching.
The same thing is true for Brawler / Marksmen, to an extent.
I think they should seriously revise this delay.
Perhaps add a Brawler/Marksmen skill to switch weapons faster, or/and allow people who MASTER a profession to switch weapons faster (ie someone who masters Fencer and Carbines, could switch with 0 delay between carbine/fencer weapons).

From what I have read they did it so that it takes longer to apply Dots in combat. So if you are a Pikeman and you have an uber disease pike and an Uber Poison pike it takes just a little longer to apply the Dots. That seems to have come from fairly credible sources and I would have to go back and look up the post. Also it keeps the weapon switching just to apply states down, such as switching to a dagger for fencer just to apply all the one handed states at a super low HAM and then switching to a high damage weapon to fight with.

I think that master brawler and master marksmen should get some sort of reduction in the delay. It would definitely give the MM some love that they desperately need.

I agree with the original posters idea, I have been working for Master Brawler now for about a week and I find myself wanting to switch weapons quite a bit. Removing the delay at master seem to be the right touch.

I would say master marksman and brawler should get the delay cut in half and master BH and commando should lose it altogether, that or just take DoT weapons out of the game and make armour a cert you lose when you get Jedi skills so they don’t need the delay. It has more or less made MBH a pointless skill now.
