How are dual pistols not an option for Hunter yet?

I feel like Hunters should be dual wield gunning stuff down by now. Anyone else?

I used to… then they did what they did to armor

I haven’t played Swtor in years. What did they do?

They really did make armor sad and uninteresting with taking away the mods. QQ

So many bad things. 7.0 saw another mass exodus. Their 10 year anniversary was a joke.

  • 99% of the gear is no longer modable
  • no update to professions for the new expansion
  • no new zone or planet for the new expansion, just a 15 minute scenario
  • they took away the entire casual gearing path, it’s raid or die now
  • they destroyed the talent system, screwing over defensives for everyone, too
  • they redesigned the UI into the most convoluted window for gearing and outfits

The list goes on.

hmm, i think double pistols is more… pirate-y. outlaw rogue should get the melee survival treatment but in reverse. gunslinger rogue!

Real life hunters don’t use pistols to hunt with.

Do you mean animals or people?

I’d be totally ok with this. I could be more like a Smuggler from Star Wars: Galaxies.

It’s even worse if you’re dual wielding them.

Assuming you want to hit things, anyway.

Haha. I’m sure it’s not, but there are more prey than just deer. Try hunting a vampire indoors with a rifle.

I believe you are mistaken in that assumption.

I wouldn’t mind seeing dual pistols as an option for Outlaw rogues, though.

Because pistols are not a thing in wow, guns are but they are very old themed guns.

Pistol shot is a thing. I would rather use throwing knives, myself. They had a longer range.

I want dual throwing spec for hunters. I want my Troll axe thrower from the RTS. Not to mention Rexxar dual wields also. If my favorite character can do why can’t I?

I was enjoying SWTOR classes far more than I was enjoying WoW classes till 7.0 hit. For some reason they decided to do a bunch of little changes that just turned into a huge headache. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. So annoyed with them for doing all that garbage.

Pistol shot is kind of a secondary ability though, there is no actual pistol as primary weapon option.

Right?? My Sentinel is just a convoluted and annoying mess now.

Wait … are you sure you want another class that needs to find not one but two weapon upgrades each tier?

I think outlaw should drop the swords and switch to dual pistols.
