All I can say is walk over to the doctor forums, take a look at what they are doing to the other half of my character =0
Then slowly, quietly smile and walk away. Walk slowly so the devs don't see you!
One of my other accounts is a Master Doctor soI suppose I need to go over there and see what is going on since my Teras Kasi Master seems to be OK with the CU so far.

I read that and decided to go ahead and get the 2H sword line while doc buffs were still as good as they are. Had to give up Medic to do it but I guess I'll live with it.
Actually, I would wait till the CU is released. If I read everything correctly, you willbe ableto reallocate your skill points at that time.If you drop medic nowyou will be without any medical capabilities till then.

I thought us Smugglers were cheated by having to have both Unarmed and Pistol as reqs...now it seems that everyone else is getting the same shaft. Excpet BHs that is, they get a break, like they need one or something.

No more tripple threat smugglers /sigh. It was a fun skill set to play you where not bad at anything but not the best at anything either. I am betting alot of folks who are Smuggler first from this template will drop alot of TK and pick up some BH pistols.

This revamp is trying to kill ALL templates. The manipulation of skills/abilities through template stacking was unintended, apparently, by the Dev's and this is an attempt to fix it.
To balance professions and prevent triple combat masters, they have increased the cost of all advanced combat professions. Because brawler has no line comparable to the Marksman Ranged Support line, and because they didn't want to remove one of the Brawler Advanced professions, they had to add a line in one of the other brawler lines to balance out.
Personally, having a 2-handed and polearm adv profession (or even basic lines) seems redundant, since all polearms have to be used 2-handed anyway...they could have merged those two and added a melee support line...

Yep, but if they remove stacking, doing that is for naught. I'm not sure where I saw it, but I seem to recall a post regarding stacking's removal from the game. I'm not sure how they'd do it, unless they name the defense for the trees so that instead of a generic melee defense, you'd have unarmed melee defense. That would be the melee defense used when you are unarmed. You'd have the same for ranged too, so instead of just Ranged Defense it would be Rifle Ranged Defense that you'd use while a rifle is equiped....
Agreed, that looks like the only logical way to prevent stacking. My post was more because i've seen a couple people think that the change for the prerequisites is the method in which they are trying to prevent stacking.

That's a perfect solution. At least Riflemen require a line that provides useful abilities and skill mods to their profession. Melee's do not. Merging Two handed & Polearm Lines to become Two-Handed would make room for a Melee Support Line. They could maybe make Intimidate2 & Warcry 2 (15 Second delay) and at Master Brawler make Warcry & Intmimidate 3 which are what Master Brawlers have now. Throw in a few general melee skill mods and you got yourself a Melee Support line. Great idea Gray.

Problem with that is if you work the numbers you can still master TK, Fencer and Sword with 4 point left over.

Too bad it'll grow trees on Hoth before the Devs would consider such an (excellent) idea.

If they're going to give Elite Prof's more skill's required to master and leave you with a slitly more boring character to run around with, being able to do less things in game just becauseu wanted a master, I dont see why they wont let us have another character in the same server to do one of the other professions to help the bordom of a select few professions on one character.
