Ok, I know this is a bit on the specific side, and I know all you have is some preliminary documentation, but I'm gonna ask this anyway, since I don't think it really violates the NDA in any way.
I've recently decided to pursue master musician. I am also going to keep master smuggler. Now I've got enough points for a tree in pistoleer, which will most likely be the speed tree.
The question is, based on the documentation you have, will this template be livable for the occasional group hunt and/or group pvp? I know it's not going to win any one on one fights, but should I waste my time with the pistoleer boxes?
Of course, if the whole skill point thing is going to be changed so mucht hat this question is moot, I'd understand as well.
And also of course, I understand if you feel you can't discuss anything at all.

I can't give you the specifics you want, sorry.
I'd recommend enjoying your build in whatever way you want and don't let yourself be limited by fear of what may or may not happen in the CU, whenever it comes.
With a choice of enjoying it now or living in fear, I'll take the enjoyment part

Actually, that's the main reason I'm switching over to a mostly non-com build. Pvp holds no interest to me any more as it is filled with people that favor grinding money and buying DOT weapons over strategy. Pve, the most enjoyable times I've had in this lately have been grouped with one other person, running headlong into NS spawns.
So now it's time to settle into a role as a fixer, and musician and a smugglin pilot. Still gonna hope that the CU will give what combat I have some defensive potential though

Yeah we honestly can't say anything, because what good is our opinion without giving you a reason why? Which we can't do. All I can say is I'd hold off on any major career changes until AFTER they make the news of what they're changing public. Cuz a LOT will change for everybody.

Kind of sounds like there's a
in there, but it might just be me But still, Word from the devs to the lowly normal folk like us was that there would be a free skill point reallocation when the CU hits. not true anymore? cuz I mean, the way I see it, this is the perfect time to fool around, unless that is no longer the case.

I..uh...er...sigh...I don't know what to say. Just don't read too much into that for good or ill. There are a lot of changes. That's all I can say.

They never let me play in the sandbox when I was a kid. 
I am going to keep my master smuggler/pistoleer with some TK for now on my main toon. If I need to change anything I will just change it. Its always nice to have a goal when out grinding.

Max:
I can't answer your Qs on what's coming, but perhaps I can help with what is and has been. I became a Master Dancer as I started up the Smuggler and Pistoleer trees. I found that I could (barely) do Tuskens with Pistoleer 0020 and Feign Death from the Smuggler tree. So if you have 0004 in Pistols, as well as all the Smuggler goodies like Low Blow and Last Ditch, you should be able to still hunt, especially in groups.
I did read something on the Dancer forums a while back... Someone there was complaining about how in the future, dancers would be unable to buff? I believe Panthu commented on it, and did not deny it. So maybe that's what some of the other people in this thread are talking about -- your abilities as an entertainer may soon change.
Good luck with the career change.

I will say two things that I would say if I was in the sandbox or not:
1) I will be a Master Smuggler/Master TKA/Master pistoleer (unless they make it so I can do any marksman tree, then I will switch Pistols for Rifles)...because it is more fitting of MY personality.
2) Play the template you enjoy, but keep in mind that there is the Combat Upgrade, GCW Upgrade, and Smuggler Revamps all coming up that will afffect so much of what you do...it will be a whole new game.
