Longer to be a BH ?
Longer than what ?
I am Master CH / Master Pistoleer / Medic and I lost vs BH pistoleer 90% of the time...
Do you know how long it is to get to Master CH and Master Pistoleer ?
The ONLY thing that your helpfull comment shows us is that Novice BH should be better than Novice Pistoleer. yet, it is MUCH longer to get to Master Pistoleer than to get to BH ? 4 4 4 (Invest line sounds broken). In NO CASE your comment should indicate a BH 0 0 4 0 should be able ot even dream about killing a Master Pistoleer.
Atm, it is the Master Pistoleer that can't touch the BH.
Go troll away with your 2/3 base prof 1/3 elite one and let 2/3 elite masters have their chance to defend themselves as they deserve. If what you say is true, then BH should only kill single elite profession and being slaughtered by Double Elite Masters like I am.
BH is FAST to get, Master BH takes much longer. Stop abusing ppl with false comments.
I've never hated MASTER bounty hunters. The only ones that irked me were the Pistol only branch guys. They pretend that BH is a tough profession and deserves to be uber because it requires so many points (217?) to master, yet they are not even close to Master BH, only Expert BH (pistol branch).
All of their arguments are based on Master BH being tough, which I agree with and accept that a Master BH should be great. I do not accept that someone with only 4 boxes (heck, even just 2) in BH should be uber.

"Bounty hunters arguing that it takse 217skillpoints to master BH fail to put in the message that they become proficient in 3 "three" types of weapons, pistols, carbines and lightning cannons, so their arguments are moot in the end as an "elite" profession spend less skillpoints yes like 92, but they are master 1 "one" weapon type. "
Well you are forgetting one thing. With the remaing skill points you can come up with a lot of combinations that make it a more powerful template then pure BH.
Well, nothing is stopping you from using your 158 left over skill points to master other professions. All I have left is 33. Novice medic is a must and so is first aid II, that leaves me with a whopping 11 pnts to put into something, right now I am pondering Rifleman and Mindshot 2 or Pistoleer and one of the other boxes or go First Aid 3 and Pharm 3 to use Stim-Cs. Not a whole bunch of choices once I master my profession.
So, when you guys start complaining about balance don't just look at 92 vs 217. Look at 250 vs 250. I do not think there will be a single master pistoleer that is not going to use his remaining 158 skill points.
Also, if I go against a pistoleer with just a pistol I would lose or it would be close (especially since stopping shot is fixed now). What makes a difference most times is the fact that I can use multiple weapons. And no, I don't just sit and spam eye shot over eye shot, I look at your HAM bar and decide accordingly. Now, add a rancor and a pistoleer it becomes a very difficult if not an impossible combination.
Also, for those complaining about eye shot, don't have 600 mind and not wear a helmet. If you really want to stop it, get a helmet with acid resists to boot as most BH will use the scatter pistol.
hello since they will be moving eyeshot to master bh it wont be overpowered anymore
And you have a link to a devs post stating this will happen?
So, when you guys start complaining about balance don't just look at 92 vs 217. Look at 250 vs 250.
92 vs 217 is the arguement that almost every BH uses to try andjustify their being overpowered.
