Hundreds signed the petition, and all I see on here are complaints about something that has yet to be implemented.


Maybe criticism should be taken down a notch until we know all the specifics.


We asked for something, they gave it to us, stop complaining.

Two things:


a) TH Never said it was Pistol Dual Wielding - He said Dual Wielding shots were taken...


b) Gotta love all the hard work that was put into Dual Wielding pistols, and time taken away from our Coors. (all 3 of them since December) to actually do something that will help the class....


I don't know about most people, but I could care less if we had 3 arms and could tri-wield pistols....


1) Fix our specials - Would save me 20 precious skill points [so I wouldn't need to have Last Ditch]
2) Raise our Speed - Wow 74 at Master Pistoleer compared to 90 at Master Rifleman
3) Give us a pre-defined role - Are we melee fighters with a gun, long range, mid range, crowd control [No they are asking us what we want us to be - Heck I want to be able to spam Stopping Shot / Some other working special @ 1 shot per second with a 5.0 speed pistol from 64m....hows that sound]


Seriously lets' get off stupid ideas such as dual wielding and focus on fixing the class.

I agree with your points about fixing the Pistoleer stuff that's broken, but did you read the first post in this thread? It quotes TH as saying Pistoleer will get dual-wield.

Feh. I've been dual-wielding fists of fury as a TKA for months.

They should make it so eye shot takes so much skill to pull of that no one can do it with 2 in there hands like it real life both hands would be needed to stedy the pistol to make a shoot like that and get to hit someone in there eyes.



AHHH IT BURNS THE EYES!!!!!

Ok I read it, and it says Pistoleer isn't the only profession getting it.


So not only did people waste a ton of time of trying to get Dual Wielding for Pistoleers, but its not even just limited to Pistoleer....


We need people representing the Pistoleer community who actually care about getting stuff fixed...


This issue (dual wielding) should have been put to rest and taken off the Top10 list for months.


Now focus on what I stated in the first post, and fix the profession and specials not just make it look pretty

hurray, I can now do auto-attacks withtwo weapons instead of one since 10 specials are broken. But hey we at least will look cool when I press that broken special button on my toolbar.


btw, this dual-wield better be in the Master box. Either that or make master lead to an elite-elite profession treethat adds that skill.......if not were going to be abused by the dabblers.

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.





Maybe we will get lucky and it will be in the master box. Sure you will still get folks with dual scatters but they will be BH dabblers and not pistoleer dabblers.

I wonder if that means that Pistoleer/Fencers will be able to hold a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other?


Ho man. I'd pick up Fencer for that. Pirate style!

I highly doubt that dual wielding will be possible with non pistoleer pistols.

If something as purely cosmetic as this was implemented before every single Pistoleer special was fixed, it would be a confirmation of the worst things ever said about this development process.


I tend to agree that, because of all past statements about the mythical "balance" sought by the dev team (best analogy in real life would be the "parity" sought by professional sports leagues, where every team is equally mediocre), DPS will probably not increase by even the tiniest amount while DUAL wielding.
