Do you have to master Rifles, Carbines and pistols to master marksman, or can you just get all for initial skills?

to get the master box of any profession you have to complete all the boxes beneath it. So in order to master marksman you need rifles IV, pistols IV, carbines IV and ranged support IV

You have to master all of them to get master marksman, but you only have to go through 1-4 to get to the elite profession (rifleman, pistoleer, carbineer)

I decided to pick up smuggler on one of my alts because I always wanted to play one. Needless to say I am very new to being a smuggler. I noticed as I looked through the trees that they turned the entire slicing tree to pistol xp. I saved up a ton of locked containers. Now it looks like I won't be needing those. Just was wondering who's half-witted idea it was to change this. I don't see how being good with a pistol makes you good at slicing or making spices. I think the Devs are taking some spice in respect to this.

Umm, yeah, making it all pistol exp WAS THE smuggler revamp..lol. J/K (I hope). Yeah I agree, the whole thing seems pretty stupid to me too.

The logic behind it is as follows.
We're a combat class now, and they felt it would be unfair to other combat classes if we had an alternate method of grinding xp to be good at combat....

Because what idiot would WANT to endlessly slice locked containers for exp when shooting things is infinitely more fun?

All of us pre-CU smugglers I guess.

Nobody, but now it will take forever to get Master. I went from 1130 to
Master in the week before the CU.

It took me FOREVER to find enough containers to slice to get through that tree. That tree SUCKED BEANS about as much as it did to run up the Unarmed line.
Whatever. Long as I get my Concussion Shot mez, they change Panic shot to be a root cone and they make LB a KD- I'm alright.
...what do you mean, they aren't changing Panic shot and LB isn't going to be a KD?

box I just made a factory run of wood staffs since the first profession I mastered was Artisan. Slicing and Spice went quick. It was the last box in Underworld andDirty Fightingthat got me.

Once you finish the first box couldn't you just slice CDEF weapons the rest of the way? Besides if they are going to still call it the slicing tree you should have to slice to get XP. Same wth the spices tree. I would consider smuggler a utility class more than anything else. There is a tree devoted to slicing, one to spice, and one to feign death. It is not a stand alone class. Without master pistols or another combat class you would get punked. I do like a lot of things the CU did for the game but this is not one of them. They made some stuff way too simplistic. Like it or not you should have to preform your job to get to the top. Not grind even more pistol xp than you have to in pistoleer. Hell, I don't even want to be a pistoleer. I already have a MBH \ M. Pistoleer.
Sorry for my mini-rant. Wanted to do this as a fun side thing since I always wanted to give smuggler a whirl. Not too happy so far. I would be pissed if I was y'all. They sure as hell took the fun out of this. If I wanted to go grind more weapon xp I would log on my Jedi.
