Wes,
I began thinking the other day (yes I'm all right) and I started getting concerned about something. If I understand right, when the Comat Upgrade or rebalance or whatever the devs are calling it now is deployed, all players will have the opportunity to reallocate all their skill points. In short we will be able to redo our characters, right? This is because the changes in the CU will greatly change how combat works and that certain templates that are now very effective combat wise might not be so after the CU.
My concern is, what if, because of the CU we Smugglers alter our Characters to be more effective with the CU but then comes along the Smuggler revamp that adds even more changes and the changes we made because of the CU now are somewhat hindering or don't turn out to be as good an idea as when we initially did them. Now we are stuck with yet another Smuggler template that is not altogether effective. Granted we are not a combat profession, but let's face facts, our profession in itself dictates we need to be able to handle ourselves in a fight.
Is this something we should be concerned about or have you been privy toenough infoto know that this won't be a problem?
Thank you for your time.

I wouldn't be too concerned about this.
The CU will handle our combat-oriented skills. The Smuggler revamp will handle our non-combat stuff.
So any reallocation that you do after the CU will not be affected by the Smuggler revamp.
I think that's the best way to answer your question.

I'm not Wes, but I think thatall thecombat changes facing Smuggler will occur with the CU. Of course, this is always up for change, but our Dirty Fighting line will need to be adapted to the new system.
The Smuggler revamp seems to just be the addition of smuggler missions and slicing changes, but, again, nothing is ever only as it seems.

I guess my bigger concern is that the CU is being tested (sandbox) while our revamp is, and let's face it people, still in concept. I'm probably worrying for nothing, but then againI have to go by the devs past track record which ain't so hot.

Combat wise I think our check has been signed and cashed.
Meaning- whatever they were going to do with us is already done, in the books and being tested.
Some things have already gone live (like the FD nerf and the new TEF system).
By the time the CU comes into play our Prereque's and Dirty Fighting line will be finished.
The Revamp will address our CONTENT.
When you shift your points around your biggest decision will be:
"Should I keep the stuff that got me to Smuggler (even if I might not like it) so I can do the new Smuggler Content when it comes or should I try something different?"

Sorry for not replying sooner, it's been one of those days. As far as I'm concerned and as far as I know, any changes made to our combat abilities will take place within the CU and not outside it; As Hotdog says, the revamp will address our content, not our combat abilities.
