Not sure if these mastery tree allocations were a bug or this was intended... I may just be missing something

Warlord = currently + 2 grenadier ? Seems like this should be Rifleman who need weapon skill and AA haste

(2 Piece Bonus): + 75 Ballistic Skill
(3 Piece Bonus): + 83 Weapon Skill
(4 Piece Bonus): + 15% Auto Attack Haste
(5 Piece Bonus): + 99 Ranged Power
(6 Piece Bonus): + 2 Grenadier tree
(7 Piece Bonus): Dissolve IX - On Hit: 10% chance to reduce target's armor by {ABIL_10577_COM_0_VAL0} for {ABIL_10577_COM_0_DURA_SECONDS}.
(8 Piece Bonus): Gain ability: Restraining Shot

Sovereign of the Gadgetmaster - currently +2 rifleman, shouldn't this be Grenadier (or even Tinker?)

(2 Piece Bonus): + 80 Ballistic Skill
(3 Piece Bonus): + 88 Wounds
(4 Piece Bonus): + 6% Armor Penetration
(5 Piece Bonus): + 6% Ranged Critical Chance
(6 Piece Bonus): + 2 Rifleman tree
(7 Piece Bonus): On Hit: 10% chance to increase Critical Hit chance by {ABIL_28505_COM_0_VAL1}% and increases added value from criticals by 20% for {ABIL_28505_COM_0_DURA_SECONDS}.
(8 Piece Bonus): Gain ability: Restraining Shot

Sovereign of Shieldmaster - currently +2 tinker, probably ok
(2 Piece Bonus): + 80 Ballistic Skill
(3 Piece Bonus): + 88 Wounds
(4 Piece Bonus): + 367 armor
(5 Piece Bonus): + 6% Reduction in being Critically Hit
(6 Piece Bonus): + 2% Tinker tree
(7 Piece Bonus): On Hit: 10% chance to reduce target's movement speed by {ABIL_28510_COM_0_VAL0}% for {ABIL_28510_COM_0_DURA_SECONDS}.
(8 Piece Bonus): Gain ability: Restraining Shot

Afaik it looks fine as it is.
You need no WS bonus, when you get armor penetration bonus. You need no armor debuff proc, when your turret debuffs armor. You want as much crit as possible as sniper engi.

Idk Warlord doesn’t fit grenadier. I agree the sovereigns could be ok as is.

The aa haste and ws not needed on AOE so I can’t think of any reason for anyone to ever want a full warlord set. If they only wanted to change one thing on them it would be better to swap the mastery bonus for warlord and dps sovereign.
