This is an extremely long read. But very eye opening. It is posted in the Jedi forum, but this is a major bug that is affect all combat professions, some worse than others.
The thread in the jedi forums has gotten up to 13 pages without a peep from the dev's. I would not be posting this save for the fact that it's been many many months, and if they knew about it they would have posted in the thread in the jedi forums to let us know what was up. Nope. Not even a post saying they recognize the problem.
I am posting this in all combat profession forums as this affects us all. I'm sorry if you've seen this, and I'm sorry if there's already another post like this in here. I am just hoping to bring the problem to light in hopes that its fixed.
Now to summarize the linked thread.
- Your characters ranged defense modifier is ONLY applicable when you have a ranged weapon equipped.
- Your characters melee defense modifier is ONLY applicable when you have a melee weapon equipped.
This absolutely destroys the whole combat update. Professions like Rifleman who were supposed to be less of tanks and more of damage dealers, actually get the best defense, while professions like Pistoleer who were supposed to get more defense at the expense of less damage, have less defense than riflemen.
Example, From the trees.
Rifleman +70 Ranged Defense, +5 Melee Defense.
Pistoleer +60 Ranged Defense, +70 Melee Defense.
Now if things worked correctly, a Pistoleer would have greater defense vs a melee profession, which is what was intended. However, the pistoleer would have to be holding a melee weapon for any of that melee defense to actually work. Thus a rifleman gets the best offense as well as the best defense. This is game breaking, and definitely not intended.
It doesn't stop there, please take the time to browse through the link I posted, people have conducted extensive tests further verifying this as a true bug, nothing was overlooked.
I am calling out to all the correspondants, in hopes one of you guys will try, and get through to the devs.

Well I have read that thread (even before I was Correspondent) and I also adressed this in my request for feedback from the community in addition a top 5 of any current issues with the profession.
This also has been stated already on the correspondents forum and I will bring this issue up again when Im going to post a compiled post from the feedback thread into the correspondent forum, thus I will poke them with this issue again to get some answeres on this
