What was the original idea for the balance between Pistoleers, Carbineersand Rilfemen? Something along the line of:

Pistols - low damage - high speed - directable states (all of them?)- lots/all of damage types available - good at shortto medium range - favors melee defense - fast movement speed - fast weapon change speed (only when changing to another pistol) - low armour piercing

Carbines - medium damage - medium speed - random states - half or more damage types available -bestat mid to long range - balanced between melee and ranged defense - good movement speed - good weapon change speed when grabbing another type of carbine - good armour piercing

Rifles - high damage - low speed - a few states - a few damage types available - excellent at long range - favors ranged defense - least movement speed - slowest at changing to other rifles - high armour piercing

That way you could pick one that favours your playstyle, would you prefer to be a high damaging, slow,lumbering, heavy hitter... or the fast moving, fast hitting,state effect pistoleer... or maybe the carbineer who bridges the gap between the two?

Quite honestly I wouldn't know where to start with Pistoleer as a profession on its own. If it were me I'd dump all the current specials and make an entirely new set that makes Pistoleer the technical fighterit should be

this sums up my thoughts.

I reckon we could put more certs in other professions, just to mix it up a bit... and the entire armour piercing system is going to be replaced so we should do more damage overall... or relatively... so to speak.

Speed is key, says I. And if I had my way our specials would function correctly.

Yes, like everyone else, I would like to see fixed specials this is my top priority. I would like the specials to have states PMD2 would be a great KD/Dizzy, and disarming shot should do what its name is, disarm them and possibly damage there weapon (Just to make them hate us). Pistoleer also needs more speed, I am currently BH pistols 4 also but if BH wasn't so important to pistoleers then we could have tons of skill points left over (Although the BH moves are awsome, maybe switch them with some of the pistoleer skills hehe). Some more weapons with a greater range of dmg and AP would be nice, especially LP, it shoots missiles for god's sake! Also, some more defense, we have a good bit already but very little ranged, hey, we can kite melee but not ranged. Pistoleer should have far greater defense out of all the ranged professions, we are only wielding one weapon and therefore would make it suitable that we more defense (maybe give BH some defense also). Finnaly, we come to duel-wielding, although this is low on the priority list, it would still be cool. *duel DE-10's* /ahhh.

I think a holster for only master pistoleers would be so cool.
