Whoah, creepy. That's almost exactly my template, except I've got novice medic in place of TKA.
Personally, I'd saythatthe DX2 is vastly superior the HAR, even with just pistoleer 0-0-4-0, due to the HAR's delay, range, and innacuracy.
Aside from pistol techs, if you opt to drop MP, I'd recomend keeping the speed line or the dodge line, depending on whether or not you want to be better at evading fire when using pistols, or if you want to fire faster for use of the LP on stuff like turrets.

Back when the devs "enhanced" the HAR..they mixed up the coding and damage numbers/etc with the Tenlos Dxr-6 Rifle....

I'm a master commando and have been for about 2 months now...I discovered this: At the genosian bunker, the HAR is my weapon of choice. I can take down a crazed genosian in 4 shots at master Commando. I can take down an enhanced kwi by myself in about 5 mins (with buffs of course) using the HAR. If you're buffed, the HAm cost is minimal. Unbuffed, it's insane. I usually do around 4K damage per /acidSingle2 that I fire. It's pretty good considering. Now I don't have pistoleer, so I can't tell you which is better, but the HAR in the right conditions is HIGHLY effective and useful. I know a lot of people will likely disagree with this, but I prefer this weapon in certain situations.

So what you are sayin is that the HAR is only good buffed. Do to the HAM costs it is so not worth it unbuffed. FT HAM costs are minimal,nah, non existant compaired to the HAR. Occasionally it does have it's uses......I use mine as a plunger.......the acid stream really cleans up the pipes......but then I have to sit down for a bit.
