Pistol Shot / Between The Eyes animation

When I cap combo points with Pistol Shot and immediately go into a Between the Eyes finisher, it can seem a little bit repetitive.

Wouldn’t it be cool if Pistol Shot and Between The Eyes had a slightly different animation - Pistol Shot fires with the left hand, Between the Eyes fires with the right hand? A slight variation would be a nice little addition to the pistol-wielding pirate fantasy.

While we’re here, does anyone else get caught looping through the Pistol Shot animation while on PTR? I was playing around in a few duels and got locked in on two separate occasions, for different characters. I’ve raised a bug report but not sure exactly how to replicate it. The animation loop only clears if I change zones or relog.

No beta here, but would be cool if it offers a glyph to change the theme or even let us transmog the pistol.

Related, isn’t it kind of dumb that I hold two swords but one disappears when I pull my gun?

It really should be a crotch gun or something.

But seriously, it would be cool to have two handed swords as outlaw to make reaching for the gun more realistic.

What we need is a glyph for a throwing knife

Fantasizing a little bit, but a Sword & Gun theme would be really cool for the pirate fantasy Blizzard is going for. What I mean is always wielding both a sword on the main hand and a gun on the off hand so we could use sword moves as our main damage dealers and the gun for utility and assistance or even mix and match with combo moves. A glyph for a hand crossbow could be created for people that hate guns.

I’m getting stuck looping the animation in the regular game now. No idea what’s going on with that.

Ok, so it isn’t just me. For some reason it only seems to happen in PvP for me - the last time it happened, I was coming out of a hunter ice trap, but don’t quite remember exactly what happened next.

Also happened to me. I was out doing world quests (Non WarMode) and the animation got stuck. It was stuck until I hearthed.

Edit: This happened again today (Oct 26th) while leveling another rogue. Relogging fixed it.
