Although he still used "duel" instead of "dual".

Eff that. Now there's just gonna be a bunch of BH's spamming eyeshot with 2 krayt scatters every second. This really doesn't help us become more effective in PvP. It just helps dabblers.

You do realize that dual weilding will really just be for looks, right? You will still do the same damage, in the same amount of time. but the animation will show you fire one pistol, then the other. The difference is that you will have to equiptwo guns instead of one. I guess the upside is that the condition on each gun will go down slower. But that's about the only benefit, other than the cool animation.

Personally, I would have rather had holsters first.

Well just as it’s folly to assume that it’s going to double our damage, it’s also folly to assume that it’s not going to have any effect on DPS whatsoever.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect this will add somewhat to damage although I don’t believe it will be significant. It may in fact be a way of taking pistoleers below a speed cap.

Yeha this is all fine and dandy, but the way I see it, its just for the devs to stall the fact that they cant fix any profession, so theyll just take the rusted junk bike, add some bells and whistles and hand it out...

I think it should be allowed to do more damage with the combination. Pistoleers are sorley hating life without more dmg in and of themselves.

At the time some form of control needs to be placed so this extra damage doesn't equate into last ditch and eyeshot.

Maybe make last ditch a 1 pistol only sorta move, and so bh's don't neccessarily grab this as part of they're foray stick the ability to wield two pistols high up in some line bh's would be somewhat absurd to take..... like accuracy hehe.... or hell just stick it up at masters

There could be other advantages to dual wielding pistols I suppose. Most wont be found until this is actually tested. I would think dealing two different kinds of damage might be useful. There is no way we will do double the damage we do now buta boost has to be coming, if not more speed maybe? I have pistols with mods to dodge, accuracy and speed or something or something like that, so that ups me todouble the affect. A trueBH will NOT be able to dual wield due to it being a master pistols skill I'm sure. Although a pistoleer with BH pistolsmight be pretty scary, that comes with some choices becauseyou have to drop smuggler to make room for the bounty pistols. Your choice really. Ihave actually been toying with this idea but I don't see howthe Devscan ignore the fact the dirty fighting tree adds no mods to pistols. I am waiting for a revamp of smuggler to make my final decision. Crappy signature to follow.

This will be great if they do it right. Of course, BH's are gonna cry "Jango Fett had two pistols..." Personally, I would prefer to have 90%+ specials working before this, though.
