Thread: A solution to the Bounty Hunter v Pistoleer controversy
I have lost track of all the arguments as to which profession is better then the other. Many say BH and others say Pistoleer. I personally feel that BH and Pistoleer should not be as close as they currenty are(pistoleers should be more accurate and faster then bh's at pistol IMHO). But if you cry nerf then the BH's will get mad, if you dont the pistoleers get mad. Perhaps there is a way to solve this without touching any skill modifiers.
Give the Pistoleer Masters a certification for a new weapon. Pistoleer Masters have gained about 3.8 million pistol experience to gain master and nearly 4x the skill points used in comparison to Bounty Hunter. Give the Pistoleer MASTERS a new pistol. What about a AR2 pistol? I think that this isnt asking too much and it doesnt change any stats on either side of the argument. And I also feel that the certification should only happen at master status otherwise people will master one side of the field to get the new weapon. Of course this concept can also be applied to other professions(carbineer, rifleman, etc). I am seeing a lot of people get novice rifleman just for the T21.
I personally would LOVE an AR2 pistol when I get to master. Fine with me.
Cheese
Pistoleer takes 4x the skill to master as BH.. Umm.. No.
Master Pistoleer = 98 points
Master Bounty Hunter = 217 points
Think again
