Thread: our wish come true?
- Altered weapons certifications to allow certain weapons to be equipped cross profession.
- Change examine info to show new weapon level certifications
very interesting new system. now most certs are based on your level, while some are based on level and skill, and some are based on level, skill, and race. with the right tweaking this system could work out well. it should make grinding a new profession easier, but still keep the best weapons for masters of their profession only.

yep i tested it... i can use any weapon within my level... carbines...pistols....rifles....heavy weapons....polearms (don't even have brawler)...
so the key is to get to lvl 54(max cert for all weapons) then just pick up whatever specials have the best effects and most damage. they should just get rid of all the skill trees and forget professions and just mush them all together in one big profession since there is no distinctions between any profession except the name now.
That is because we are on TEST CENTER......please check the Dev Tracker and look for Helios. They will be adding Prof/Race requirements as they see fit to restrict the weapons.
Personally I don't care for sharing in the Elite Profs, but spreading around the lower level weapons will make leveling up in Brawler once you are Master Carbineer much easier for instance.
This really solves two issues, #1 sharing of weapons as many were upset about not getting new, shiny toys (greedy little children IMHO and I don't agree as we all lose distinction this way, but not my call) and #2 the problem with leveling lower/basic branches after an Elite level has been achieved.

SO it doesn't matter what elite combat proffesion you pick, you can use other weapons? Carbineers running around with T-21's? I don't get it. unless it means that you can equip it, but not use it well....
*points up one post*
And specifically the Devs have said the Master Box Certs will NOT be shared....no T21, no Proton Carbine....

The curent system is so more balanced and simple. Your "level" is determined by the weapon you have equiped and how profficient you are with it. Now that they inserted this stupid new level sistem they have to resort to things like this. Skills are becoming less important, overall "level" is becoming more important.
