At the moment, Duelist is the class that needs more versatility the least. Though, regardless of whether or not balance issues are a concern, the identity of the skill should not be put into question for the sake of what some people would perceive as fun.

In reality, it doesn't stop you from running any of these combinations you're already talking about, they simply don't get the same benefit, which is fine. You can absolutely run Duelist with a gun-- that isn't even uncommon, either, and Martial Artists already benefit heavily from running a Duelist class, because they get to keep two-hand with Empty Palm.

Granting it any office with non-martial weaponry is just a cheeky way to gain bonus stats for setups that have little to do with Duelist in the first place, which I'm highly against.
