There should be a cert in master pistoleer for scatter pistol. The DX2 is just painfully inferior. There's not really any good reason for BH to get this. They don't get a unique carbine.

Or if not scatter, there needs to be an AP1 or AP2 energy/heat pistol put into the master pistoleer box.
This has been said, about 100 times already. For the record, the BHs want a unique carbine and the Devs have suggested that it's at least a possibility.
Personally I don't think we should be concerned about the Scatter Pistol. What we need is to get OUR pistol (DX2) working so it's a good weapon to use most of the time. I think another weapon cert, at Master, is a great idea but it's something that would need to happen across all professions (Carbineer, Rifleman) for balance.
lol i say ditch the DX2 and make a new pistol. DX2 looks like a hair dryer, sounds like a toy gun, and the specials look like you are shooting christmas ribbons.
we need to kill in style.

I agree that our profession needs a "style" upgrade, but until our profession gets fixed I'm not going to worry about style.
In our first Correspondent Report, Jaegen included requests to get holsters, dual wield,and twirly moves for our guns ... not as one of his main five points, but as a P.S. at the end. He did that because a jillion peopleon forums were asking for that stuff, since most people were barely Novice Pistoleer at that point and had nothing else to say. It turned out to be a disaster for us. We never heard the end of it, and Holo said in a post that we must be overpowered because we were asking for art changes instead of bug fixes.
With so many broken specials, defenses that don't work, a screwed up speed equation, etc., we need to get our profession working before we worry too much about the way that it looks.
But yes, I agree, the DX2 looks stupid.
AP1 gun. or just a working AP1 gun.....

A man after my own heart.

Ideally I think that everyone should have more weapon certs than are currently available.
Novice Marksman : CDEF rifle, pistol, carbine
Then add 2 weapon certs at each tier, followed by 1 more at Novice of the elite professions, 1 more at EACH tier II skills in the elite professions, then one final one at master, giving a Master Pistoleer(rifleman/carbineer) 15 total weapons to chose from.
I do think the weapons should get progressively better as you advance, but maybe that makes too much sense.
There should be a cert in master pistoleer for scatter pistol. The DX2 is just painfully inferior. There's not really any good reason for BH to get this. They don't get a unique carbine.
