Pistoleer Archive

I think people aren't looking far enough ahead. I see dual pistols being MUCH better than a single pistol. The catch? It's an elite-elite profession for the Space Expansion, like any other.

I'm wondering, though. Would we rather equip 2 pistols, or have weaponsmiths craft single items that, when equipped, have the appearance of dual pistols. The advantage to the former is we can have 2 damage types. The latter is more friendly on the pocketbook, and guarantees everyone has a matching set equipped.

I want thta o bbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddd. That would be total kick ass.

I think creating a new weapon cert that is a dual pistol only combo would be the best and simplest way to implement the dual wield pistol.

One problem is that this is so hard to implement that I only see it happening in an expansion. And if you think people hate us now, can you imagine if it went in with a monthy update or something? *shudder* The screams would be heard for miles, and we would NEVER be fixed. No, it has to be an expansion pack. And what better way to set apart the pistoleer "elite-elite?"

Why would you want 2 damage types? Wouldnt you want 2 pistols of whatever damage type is best for what you are fighting? Currently, I switch pistols with every fight based on need.

How about specifically designed dual pistols? Instead of just equipping two scouts or whatever, specific dual wielding guns could be created. They could be created by an elite-elite weaponsmith, and dual wield gun certs can be in the elite-elite pistoleer prof.

why start talking about a whole new class for pistoleers just for dual wield pistols when it could be a master skill. we need more benefits there anyways, since disarming and mtps are kinda meh right now

I think it should be a Master skill that drops accuracy but allows for some major damage, mabe put a penalty on special times. And allow any two pistols, if you want two of the same cool and if you want two different thats cool too, if they allow it then it should be up to the player which two as long as he owns two.

Why not just give the ability when you hit master?

If it was a master skill I would be extreamly happy, if it was an elite-elite prof i would be extatic, and now that you mention yes I dont agree that only specialy designed dual-pistols should be used in thsi way.

No, I wanna match my more accurate one pistol against someone with two, and I want to have a 50/50 win chance. Even.I think two pistols are hokey. Too animeish.

I think the Dual Pistal is a great Idea. To bad the Devs will never do it. But, If they did then it would make since it be a Master Level cert. SO that you could pick the weapons you use. Needs change with every ingage ment and I use four or five deferent pistols all the time. Yes even the DX2... But I agree shooting two weapons at one time is not very acurat. RL expereance there...
