okay first evidence,,, posted by DEV helios when talking about commandos having no special attacks


... "The commando specials are built into the weapon. This means when you start to stack commando weapon certs (that give you special attacks via the weapon itself) with special moves from say Rifleman or Bounty Hunter or Carbineer you get some really potent attacks. "



and here is the other post

and here is what Helios said ...

Today...
... "Yes. Any ranged special that you own can be used with any ranged weapon you are certed for. Same goes for melee weapons. That being said, we're going to focus a lot on balance tweaks during testing to make sure nothing scary happens with this. We've also talked about applying some move restrictions based on weapon type as you mentioned, but that has not been implemented... today. "



umm I do think so,,,

On top of that the melee trees get general melee accuraccy and general melee speed which stack between melee weapons. They're trying to get us to focus on either melee or ranged professions.

What you take depends on what you want to do or who you normally hunt with I think. Pike gets intimidate/warcry/area attack. Fencer get DoT though. Master brawler had a couple good moves too.

Too many choices now (which I think is a good thing).

If you read over the docs and posts by devs you will see that any proffesion melee can use others specials so if your Swords//pike you can use your hammer for some area attacks from pike tree,,, same if your commando you can do a rifle tree special with your flamethrower,,, its weird how its set up but i wonder what will work best together,,, probably something with Area attack i cant imagine being without it
