Actually no, because most that dabble in other combinations are MASTER pistoleers anyway, so you'd endup hurting your novices as they would have a hard time grinding up to the high boxes if low level boxes had nothing to offer.

Master Pistoleer/Expert BH - like your correspondant

Master Pistoleer/Smuggler Dirty Figthting/Tera Kasi

Master Pistoleer/Smuggler Dirty fighting/Commando

are the most common Master Pistoleer PvP combinations.

I also dabble in Pistoleer, but it is for PvE purposes more then PvP (HS2 & Stopping shot).

Considering that none of the Master Pistoleer specials work, and that the only abilities that matter areSpeed (from Stances) and Accuracy (from Marksmanship), not to mention the specials of Stopping Shot (which is slow)and Fan Shot (which is about to get a LOT less useful), there is pretty much no incentive to be a Master Pistoleer unless you're speculating that the profession is eventually boosted to a viable and constructive use of skillpoints.

It's basically the same thing for Smugglers. I became a Master Smuggler for mostly RP reasons, and because it's a socialway to make some money while RPing my character. That's another Master-level profession that gives almost no payoff for most of its Master box and a good many of its skillboxes (Underworld line is an absolute joke, and without experimentation, Spice is worthless).

Broken professions like Pistoleer and Smuggler offer little if any payoff for Mastery. People with amazing templates have no need for the crappy Master boxes of either profession. These aren't the dabblers you're looking for...

Yeah, I wouldn't say we're anywhere CLOSE to being better with pistols then you guys. Without dabbling in pistoleer mods we'd never hit, we'd be slow as christmas, two things that'll get you killed with a pistol.

Oh, and this game was designed for dabbling. That's why you have left over skill points.

Please dont start in on us smugglers. Most of us are master pistoleers as well as master smugglers. We want the best for the pistoleer profession we want to help them as best we can. We are not like the nerf crying bountyhunters. We are a part of you. So why are you trying to start a nerf war with at least half of your own population? Smugglers are pistoleers (most of the time) we master both professions. We are not uasualy dabblers. So please dont start calling to nerd us we dont even have 1 combat mod in our entire profession and only 3 specials (unless you count FD and its mods).

Keep up the great work Nova. You do us proud!
