This thread deals with the problem of Combat Droids only. I sympathize with the DE and hope that your voices are heard with regards to making this gameStar Wars. I would like to preface that I believe the new Droid changes can have a profound impact on ALL artisan professions, and I hope it does.
There is already a class that has been created that DIRECTLY correlates to the MCH class. That class is the droid engineer.
Hunting tree = Engineering tree
MCH tree = MDE tree
The combat balance between Master CH and melee/ranged weapon masters is a whole other can of worms. It has been stated over and over that it is EASY to master CH,allows access to the highest content in the game, and having this popular unbalancing profession flies in the face of continuity. All for 88 skill points! If you haveDroid Handler Skill bonuses FOR MASTER professions NOT in the scout branch, you will take a great step in balance across all professions.
The Droid levelskillmods should already exist for MDE. Up to level 70 droids (+20Droid Level at master).
The DLskill modsshould START at DE 4-4-4-4 (+10 Droid level at each level)
The DL skill mods should Cap at +70 for all,
All advanced masters should havea DH skill (+5) (Since the most professions you can master are 3, , 1 artisthe Maximum Droid level will cap at +70 to avoidmin/maxers)
1. You say then that we are giving people "free skills that they haven't earned" I say no way... Droids are part of starwars, and 3X Masters have earned (at most) a free +15 CL creature (a droid at that to make it star wars)
2. In addition, a mastery of any advanced artisan profession should gain you an additional +5 to Droid level (so master architects etc... will be +10 at master)
3. this means3 weapon professions = +15, 3 artisan professions = +30, 1 artisan profession and 2 weapons = +25

I like this, but it won't happen. We've been calling for some form of cert system ever since the concept of new "improved" Combat droids came about, and instead get told that they are going to be adding "Droid Handlers". Thanks for your support, and idea, unfortunately it is painfully obvious at this point that the Dev's don't give a d*** about what the DE community, or the player community in general, wants from droids, and will continue to rape and ruin the Star Wars license with their own visions as long as Lucas Arts let's them.

It has been stated over and over that it is EASY to master CH
I would like to see the people that have stated this, try to master CH nowadays.
The xp serisouly sucks.

Heh good point Tarnblade 
Tell you what, take out the whole Easy to master CH thing... It's a non factor, and after the last nerf, I completely agree.
