• Move the pistols branch requirement in Marksman to the Ranged support branch.

One of the reasons smugglers cant compete with BH is because BH can pick any weapon they want, master it and BH with enough points to attain 4000 in combat medic. This is one of the reasons a BH is so tough to kill! They can pick any ranged weapon they want and heal themselves like crazy.

A master smuggler has only one option to attain the same healing power of a 4000 Combat Medic. Master Pistoleer, or Master Commando. Master commando has terrible damage output, and pistoleer has short range. Both have horrid defense.

As an alternative topistols, a Rifleman/smuggler can onlyattain novice combat medic... whereas a Rifleman/BH can attain 4000 in combat medic. This is because a smuggler rifleman must invest their points in rifles, ranged support AND pistols...Why are smugglers forced to invest in pistols? All the other hybrid combat professions require only ranged support, so I find it odd that smuggler is the one exception.

I mean, if I want to be a carbine using smuggler... whats to say I cant be?Why do I have to invest any points in pistols? Whats to say that smuggling requires knowing anything about pistols at all?

By moving the requirement from the pistolsbranch, to the ranged support branch, Smugglers will now have access to a greater array of ranged weaponry and an equal healing power to the BH profession. This would make us a more viable alternative to the BH swarm, itwill alsodiversify combat that much more and would be super easy for the devsto do.

Just a thought.
