Dualgunner

No significant changes to the trait

Dualgunner


This trait is the pistol-maniac's dream: the ability to use two pistols at once! This advanced trait requires two levels of Son of a Gun to be completed. Your current pistol and prepared pistol will now both be fired simultaneously for a total fire time of 120% the average of the two. They can be alt-reloaded simultaneously for again 120% the average reloading time. You can also instantly swap your two pistols around for quick access.

A must for Angel of Marksmanship (unless you're looking for a Sharpshooter build). Using two pistols at once greatly increases damage done to any enemy, and paired with Dodgemaster, you can become quite formidable.

I find Dualgunner to be most effective when using two different pistols, a powerful weapon in my prepared slot and a weapon with a preferably larger clip size in my hands. The reason being is that my guns will not run out of ammo at the same time. The bigger clip in my hands just makes it easier to keep shooting even though my prepared, more powerful weapon may be empty. Once the threat has ended, I can then reload as necessary.

Bottom line? Dualgunner is a GREAT trait to have when working with pistols. As much as 2x+ the damage you'd normally deal, and an instaswap thrown into the mix. Nearly nullifies Juggler on almost any pistol build. One downside is the slightly increased fire time and it eats through ammo MUCH faster.
