I keep hearing about it's so hard to get BH, and for some yes it is. The real issue is that BH requires more skill points than any other professions which really doesn't leave you with much else to do if you are a master. Whereas being a Master Pistoleer, you can still Master other elite professions and make you more diverse oreven more effective combat class. So, I agree with BH being more powerful, they got nothing else they can do but be effective killers, it's what they are born to do....

Some Points on this issue....All the BH's talk bout how much EXP/skill points it takes to become a BH and that you have to master scout and Marksmanto become one. Well in my opinion this make the pistoleers point for them, it acually makes the carbineers points against the BH as well. BH is a jack of all trade class that can use almost every weapontype to great effect, this is displayed on the requirements of the calss and the wide range of skills and bonuses in their tree, once you master bounty hunter there should be few if any events that occur in the field that you should not have a way to address. Where as Pistoleer, and Cabineers are highly specialized classes that have devoted themselves to mastering a single weapon type. These elite classes address nothing but the use of a single weapon to which it is devoted, meaning that when when they reach master that they should be better with that specific weapon than the Jack of All Trades Bounty Hunter.


Now I'm not saying Nerf BH I just feel that the Specialized classes should be better with their weapon than BH's are and I feel ATM this is not the case. One easy example of this is that after pistol 4 in theBH tree they get Accuracy +60 Speed +50 where as a Master Pistoleer only gets Accuracy +45 Speed +49. Again this is not a call for a nerf just a few pointsI feel we should keep and mind in this debate.
