B. Using a pistol only within 30m would be highly irritating.

I vote B.
Maybe this has been suggested before, but is it possible to apply the accuracy penalty only to the "off-hand"? Or would it apply equally to shots fired by both pistols?

Accuray would hit both hands...since you are not using a two handed stance for one pistol you will mess up your accuracy for both...
All we can assume after combat upgrade is that we will be very proficient with pistols in both accuracy and speed and our rightful place in the grand scheme will be realized...we will go over this doc again after the upgrade is more realized and maybe a capped range will make more sense...for now though it seems B is the clear majority..
Next time folks talk about it in the discussino thread there was not many B supporters in there before and Id rather have a good discourse before actually going to voting, but I couldnt drag any of you B voters in there it seems...

Let me also be one to say that the majority is not always right =)

B
Give us the tactical choice to lose accuracy or get in close and personal.
Obviously the better pistoleer you are, the more accurate you will be.
(THOUGHT) Make dual wielding a seperate stat that only pistoleers have (ie. dual wield acc+10 or something) that way bh stackers won't be better at dual wielding than pistoleers.

maxx i think you should focus more on the discussion thread since it seems to me that the people who care the most are taking the time to post their ideas instead of just their vote

Its as simple as this.
If we keep speed, power, and accuracy uber, something will have to be taken out for balance.
The proposal was to tweak accuracy down so we are still fast and powerful with duelwield
Many are voting to keep everythinguber which cannot happen.
If ya vote B, the next logical thing to nerf would be power since it wouldnt make sense to have 1 pistol have a higher ROF than 2.
Vote A and you will have an effective close/medium range combat class which is fast and powerful in pvp. (kinda defines Pistoleer)
Vote B and you may have a class which is weak but fast and accurate at medium/long range combat. (Definately not our class)
And in my experience in pvp, weapon power is a deciding factor. It would not be a good thing for us to be fast and accurate but weak. Considering the dev track record, that would probably end up with us nerfed again compared to the other combat classes.s ome variable would be left untouched allowing other classes to strike us down with powerful blows before we could get in hundreds of little tiny pecks into their ham.
Please for the love of God and all that is holy vote A!

stop the voting and do what is good for our proffession Maxx. people dont know that dual wield would become underpowered and so unbalanced when we have to get the acc nerf cause its of course a lesser nerf then range.
let me explain you B voters :
when you get powerful dual wield and only an accuracy nerf people will easily be able to add accuracy by using food or dabble in other proffession so this would just hit the pistoleers who not dabble.
result : dual wield would become not as strong as it should be for a special that helps us to fight out of dangerous close combat situations. even when it not lose power at going live after people start crying for to nerf it cause they can easily get owned by a pistoleer dabbler spamming dual wield specials we lose again what we were waiting so long for.
about A : when we are hard capped by this dangerous range which opens the area for higher tactics and a not so easily win for us ...yes then and ONLY then dual wield could become that powerful as it should be.
i just can hear all the crys and see the final nerfs we get when we get such a power which is not balanced by a cap. and accuracy is not really a cap its so easy to make it so that it wont be a problem.
please make up your mind people or Maxx stop the vote please we bet on you.
I see some people thinking that they will own by macro/spamming specials with dual wield but dont forget about the future even when it would be so dont think you will have it for long.
