I've been a triple master since as far back as I can remember and it's very much who my toon isbut with that said all good things come to an end. Yes Im not happy about it but that's how it goes, I for one will be going TKA still with some pistol and using FS skills to 12point out my pistol skills. /shurg

I can totally understand why Entertainers are given the chance to master a non-combat (entertainer) and 2 combat professions. Here is my question.....I thought we were a non-combat profession?? If that is the case then we are givien the ablity to master one combat class and get some pistol moves.... kinda sucks, no?? I'm not destroyed over this issuebut I ambored and thought I would pose the question. /Shrug

Technically; we're a Combat Hybrid in a sense... it seems that SOE is trying to push us more and more into the Han Solo Smuggler/Gunfighter type of role...

Yimaz...you are actually trying to consider what our classification amongst the developers is? You do know, right, that they don't know either.
We're combat classy enough to be in the CU.
But we've been called a Hybrid.
So we're not a support class per se like Ranger or CH.
So technically, in an odd sense, we're a sort of combat class.

Then you see what I mean... we are sorta a combat class, maybe, kinda in a round about way-ish. We are not a full on combat class yet we are being treated as one, kinda limits us a little I think. But who knows they may rework or even remove unarmed from or temp all together, guess it's a wait and see type o' thing which is why (while im not thrilled about it) I'm not freaking about the new CU changes plus they will help the over all game.

One of 2 things:
1) This triple combination would not mean much. Just means you can fight in melee with 3 different types of weapons, none of them better than the other. Maybe a bit of flexibility if the different weapon types has something really different about them, but no overpowering combat advantage there.
2) They didn't figure that one out yet...
Which do you think?

Guess that means that if you wanted to be all melee or all ranged then you can triple master but if you want to take some of theprofessions that require two basic profession, then your screwed.
So the way I see it is you could master 3 elite melee professions, and have no ranged ability and have 4 points left.
but then you still couldn't master 3 elite ranged profession cause you would still be 16 points short, 10 if you for go master marksman.
So that still leaves us Smugglers hanging as we don't get any bonuses to are combat ability and we do get special attacks but they don't work all to well unless we take the time to become master pistoleers. So they orginally classified us as Hybrid profession so why did they take are ablity to triple master. most of us that did was master of one melee and one ranged with smuggler.

I'll be doing just the opposite, being the best I can with pistols and rounding out the rest with whatever complements that.
You got enough titles in your sig there, Yim?

Yep, unfortunately true . But there is some small, cold comfort. There's going to be skill point reallocation, so you won't just lose everything and have to start from scratch. You just move your points to something else.

I'm stuck at work.
Besides, I only got 2 containers so far, and I haven't finished Pistol 4 or Novice Smuggler yet. That'll be done Friday, I'm hoping to get a ton of donated containers by then.
Going through Unarmed 4 again was a royal pain, though it was much easier the 3rd time around as I knew all the tricks.

it doesn't seem fair that they are going to allow the Entertainer to triple master and we smugglers that have been triple masters are going to loose it!
