If it does get added, it should be a Master Pistoleer only ability in my opinion..

I think devs mentioned once that they had _no intenetion_ to introduce duel-wield ever. They seem to stick with the movies etc.

Where have you seen a SW movie character stick out two blasters? Never. Even the Fetts had 1 pistol. This is SWG not Delta-Force-like-movie where Chuck Norris takes 9mm and kicks everyone's butt by shooting 54 bullets from the right hand one and 47 bullets from the other one without reloading. Who cares that the dumb crowd can't count.

Were not talking realism here, this is a game, offcourse and there are limitations. You are still able to keep 60 rocket launchers in your tint backpack, but the devs do seem to stick with the movies as much as they can.

With all due respect, you are incorrect. Jango Fett, he who all bounty hunters have since become modeled after, dual wielded his blasters. Check out his entry in the Star Wars databank at starwars.com

Yeah, I don't know about you guys but I think dual wielding of pistols would be awesome. I mean honestly, who cares that in the movies Jango Fett is the only character to ever wield two pistols? Does that mean that no one has ever wielded two weapons? Somehow I doubt it. The movies don't show the whole SW universe and I don't know about you, but in my opinion the people in that universe aren't much different than we are(minus the jedi and other cool stuff ) and therefore if we want dual wield I bet they would have too. That's just my two cents, I hope they do implement dual wield but I do agree it should be either a master skill or at least 4th tier.

2 problems: 1) that would make pistols nearly twice as powerful and thus, overbalanced. 2) Jenga Fett doesn't count. EP 2 sucked. (besides Yoda's fight at the end)


seriously though, you would have to give some other comparable increase in power to all other combat professions to maintain class balancing. If they were to introduce this skill without doing that, they would have to give duel wielding pistoleers a severe hit in accuracy to compensate.

I was wondering about dual pistols as well, Im on my way to Pistoleer. But theres several ways to ballance dual pistols...


Make only certain pistols dual wield, which have lower damage.


Allow all pistols to be dual wielded, Increase their speed, but lower their damage with the dual wieldskill itself.


Reduce accuracy signifcantly when dual wielding.

"Jenga Fett doesn't count." Good answer guy, glad your giving good feedback. And as for being overbalanced, of course you would have to take a hit in accuracy. That's another reason almost everyone said it should be a master skill. And also the other weapons already have their own cool skills like concealment and whatnot. In my opinion the game would be just so much cooler if master pistoleers could have akimbo blasters.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but didnt Han solo dual wield at one point? Only for a little while but he did it? Just curious. Also wondering if we can use the Gungan shields. Would be really cool to have a pistol with a shield.
