You raised an issue, then did something about it.



Sodan,

I'm trying to get on with "pushing things" but I wanted to put up an issue that I know will come up...

Balancing melee vs. ranged players vis a vis the Ranged Support tree as a sort of 'cert'.


That's something that we need to nail down and revise on this. Balance, balance...

Respectfully,

How's this argument:


Using a Droid to fight for you, or even with you,is by its very nature ranged combat. You're not physically holding and wielding the droid like you do VibroKnucklers or a Sword. You need the Ranged Support tree in order to understand the basics of ranged combat necessary to deploy these >CL10 Combat Droids.


What it really comes down to is that using Ranged Support (or any other existing skilltree) is a kludge. We can't add a new tree (aka mini-profession), nor will we allow the Devs to add a new profession. Virtanis and I PM'd back and forth on the subject for a bit, and I just don't see any other real options. Except for Skill Point Certs, which the Devs have never bothered to respond to.
