Good call. They need to move some stuff around the tree so a mastery (or at least some skills from each tree) are required to get most desirable goods.

Agrees totally; devs need to start thinking like "Now how can this be exploited if i put in that skill tree?"

I totally agree. If you spread them out among the trees then those people that only have enough skill points for one tree won't be as skilled and have the good weapons that a true pistoleer should have.
Good post dude.

This is where I get cynical and point out that one of the dev's personal combat medic character most likely only has the Techniques line in pistoleer.

Yeah, I think that's a pretty good way to put it. Y'know, if you want to be concise, but what fun is that? hehe 
But yeah, you've summed up how I feel about it Randonb.
But yeah, you've summed up how I feel about it Randonb.[Edit] Wanted to add: When the CH profession was revamped it was made into a somewhat "top heavy" profession, but the Devs didn't have a choice. We all know how extremely out of control the CH dabbling was. The other Combat Professions, be it Pistoleers, Rifleman, Commandos, etc, aren't in the position that CH was. I think we want to prevent that situation from occuring with another profession, and at the point the Devs still have many ways to make our profession (and others) evenly distributed. As I had said a bit earlier, it may not be necessary for the Devs to re-arrange our profession at this very moment, but future additions need to be distributed wisely in order to maintain a balance.
