Don't know if this belongs here, but again with regard to GTH...
If I was going to use my doc primarily for PvP, and GTH don't get changed significantly with regard to effect on docs, then I would definitely see my myself forced to let go of my precious new Pistols and Dr. Blaze DoT in favour of an AS weapon, since if there's an opposing trader on BS I will find myself without neither defense and offense most of the time. (In my personal experience)
In that case I would find myself forced to use AS, as our AR does not let us use anything else with any meaningfull effect.
Which leaves us where we've been for ages with a very old, and very outdated and unreliable "best option" afaik being the Ithaca...
So... In this scenario I would vote for a Doc tag on the coveted Silverback mk6 or something similar being introduced for Doc's.
While I think the Pistol and Blaze DoT combo fits a Doc's traditional "role" better, we are left in the cold with regard to PvP atm, when facing GTH and it's disabling effect leaving us without anything left.
