I've got two characters, my main: master smuggler/master pistoleer/BH x31x and my "alt" master carbs/master BH/master marksman/pistols xxx3. I am fine with pistols having less range and less power output than carbs, but what is driving me crazy is how much SLOWER it is. I've done the character builder thing, to see if I want to use my final repsec to speed my pistols up, but can't seem to find a way to make it worth my while. Does anyone else feel the same way? Am I beating a dead horse? I LOVE the idea of pistols, but I find myself playing my alt more and more.

There is rumour of pistols being dual wieldable in the future. I would not be surprised if they left them slow and underpowered in anticipation of getting double attacks later.
This is all rumour and speculation though.

Its fine for me. I just have a hard time dealing damage to swordsman and jedi. Other than that, it's pretty fast.

I did some tests and my master pistoleer/master smuggler/BH x31x is firing just as fast as my master BH/master carbs/master marks/pistols xxx3. The only difference is my pistols character has one hard hitting shot, while the carbs has quite a few. This left me the impression of being slow, but the combat que argues otherwise.

Play a melee character and THEN tell me it's slow 
.. For me I think it's slow because I'm always at zero action cost.. Up until I run out of action cost I'm attacking incredibly fast. But overall I'd say Pistols is fast.

They've been talking about dual wielding for over a year now and they are claiming that it is very low ont he list of stuff.
Atm since any range profession can use any other range abilites and also there is no min distance or affect from carrying heavy weapons. Pistoleer will not only get outdamaged but is slower than a rifleman or carbines atm.

Yeah instead they have to put jedi in every publish even giving them more animations. Devs must be pulling there priorities out of a pikets arse.

I've heard some good things recently from the Devs, it seems they have a good understanding of the kind of balance we need in game.
The next few publishes should be a bit more intersting anyway.
