Oh, and this Dual Pistol thing should be a Pistoleer only ability I believe. Smugglers and BHs get enough bonuses through other things. Pistoleer, unless they have another ability, relies on his weapon alone and should benefit from the increased studies inthat weapon. Don't get me wrong though, the BHs need some major ability revamping too.

fencers are getting it too,

that should look cool as well


pistoleers need holsters, evreyone needs holsters,

more than one kind as well, hip, over-the-back (for rifleman and swordsman) and others (you get the idea)


onto the more relevant stuff....


pistoleer speed is a very big problem. i don't wantpistoleer damage to increase, and i don't want every other profession to slow down,


and also becausepistols don't have high armor piercing weapons (except acid and stun damage in some cases) we are hindered.


a weapon that is AP3 damage 300-300 (for example sake) and firing once every 3 seconds will do more DPSthana pistol that is AP1 damage 100-100 firing once a second



Skippy

yup, back to oasis

I'm a Master Smuggler, currently working on Pistoleer (1/0/4/3) and I love it, I personally think that dual pistols needs to be a Master Pistoleer skill simply so we don't see "everyone" out there with two blasters. I don't pretend to know how the Devs are going to put dual wield in, but I hope it not only looks good, but has some purpose aswell.

Yay Dual Wield! Now pistoleers will look cool while we're staring at the sky waiting for our DBs.

Im preparing myself for a big dissapoinment when DUAL wield goes lives. Primarely because I believe that theyll make it possible at novice pistoleer or 0002 or some low level that most people will reach. So, everyone will run around with two pistols in their hands.


And ofcourse.. So far, it dosent seem like it will have any effect in the game, other then too look cool.


How DUAL wield actually could solve alot of problem - multi target shot anyone? working spesials that requires DUAL wield. multishots, extra fast blast etc.


...And to suggest a new delay special: Fire bullet in the ground with DUAL pistols, making the target dance!

DUAL WIELD


Du-al adj. [ L. dualis < duo, TWO ] 1. of two. 2. having or composed of two parts or kinds, like or unlike; double; twofold [ a dual nature ]


Du-el n. 1. a formal fight between two persons armed with deadly weapons: it is prearranged and witnessed by two others, called seconds, one for each combatant 2. any contest or encounter suggesting such a fight, usually between two persons [ a verbal duel ]


I think we will get the cool factor once we agree that Dual Wielding is the topic, and not Duels...

English Major?

All kidding aside I hope it is a Master level thing only. I'd hate to see dual wielding be a prevelant as Chef hats!

The thing that would be bad about Dual wielding would be that we would kill ourselves faster than we would the enemy.I'm 2/2/4/3 in Pistoleer and I do about 1-2k dmg per /healthshot2 with a sliced Krayt RB (dmg 131-372 spd 1.4(1.1 w/ powerup)) but each one of those shots are -42 to my action. So imagine that times two each second, -84 per second. That would be the only dilemma about dual wield. Otherwise it's good.
