Hello. I'm still working on attaining Master Pistoleer but I do have a quick question for you all. Given that we are the only profession that has to take another profession to max out one of you abilites, do you all think that the Ranged Speed FS skill is worth taking prior to the CU? I'm a little hesitant to do so since the FS skills are a perminate loss of skill points. I would hope that this isn't needed and that we will cap when we Master after the CU but I'm still wondering. What do you all think?

Depends on when they release the CU. If they fix the speed issues with the CURB, then Pistols will come out on top of the speed chain, and I think we'll be okay. Personally, I'd wait to see how the CURB works, rather than wasting a bunch of time on grinding, conversions, etc. for an FS tree you may never need... unless you want to be a Jedi, that is. Haven't we all done enough grinding anyway?
I've thought of taking Ranged Speed, but I'm not going to unless I feel like I need it even after the CURB.

Jedi holds no intrest on this account now that I'm forced into making Cigaran into one but that's another rant for another posts...
I agree with you on the FS skills. I don't really want to do this but if we are forced into dabbling just to get all of our stats to levels that other classes get, then I'll mess with it. If I can avoid the Village for my entire time of playing, I'll be happy with that.

Good man.
Lol! I spend enough time maintaining my own city. I can't imagine keeping up with the village and it too!

Well you have to remember 2 things.
A. the Force Ranged Speed tree is not working correctly at the moment (actually its been tested that melee speed tree speeds us up...go figure :-P) That has been reported....
B. Getting the +12 when it does work doesnt add 12 to your pistol speed number...it actually just increases your speed by 12% its like having a 12% speed powerup on all your weapons, so it wont make you a +86 which would be nicer I think...anyway it would help...but hopefully the curb will make this not as necessary...(when they fix it)

I'll believe the speed fixes in the CURB when I see them. 
Having the speed be a factor in the denominator of the equation was a baaaaad idea.

Well, taking B into account, wouldn't it benifit us to take itthen no matter what? I mean, it's basically an infinite power up then. If they get it working and this is true, I wouldn't see a reason not to do this since anything to speed up attacks is going to be a benifit to any combatant.

I believe you're wrong there. I have melee speed and master brawler and I am so close to capping in speed with hit 3 on my Acklay power hammer (about .2 or .3 seconds short). As I was grinding up the tree, I noticed a significant increase in my speed. If it worked percentage-wise, I doubt I would notice that much of a difference.
