Duel Pistols

I have been experimenting with various builds using duel pistols and so far nothing has been to my liking . I think if duel pistols is slotted correctly it could a be a power set .The key thing i am looking for is some controll with mobs so ican deal without being pasted on the pavement whilist using duel pistols .

Corrupter , Defender or Blaster .. I asking for ideas that could work ..


Thank you

The key with Duel Pistols is to stand back to back and never take more than ten steps. Be ready for your opponent to fire early - not all of us are honourable gentlemen!

use devastation: chance to hold procs in your attacks.

In before sarcastic remark about incorrect dual used in subject.

Also, my best suggestion is to primarily use your lethal ammo. Knockback and knockdown are actually rather effective at keeping enemies off your back, and certainly tends to work more often than a chance to hold proc.

Additionally cosider using a more mitigation based other powerset. For Defenders and Corruptors Storm, Traps, Rad and Dark should all be quite good choices depending on your style. For Blasters Ice is a good mitigation secondary.

You may want to reconsider your profession before you embark on the road to perdition. As Joseph Hamilton notes in his 1829 pamphlet 'Reflections Upon Dueling; Outline of a Court for the Adjustment of Disputes', dueling ultimately violates every principle of Christendom. Though a gentleman must deal with the lack of an adequate security against a challenge to one's honor, and though churlish behavior abounds in today's uncivilised society, and though even members of the clergy have historically partaken in the practice of dueling; nonetheless the practicing Christian must surely regard dueling not as a necessary evil but as an abomination whose time has thankfully passed. Drop the dueling pistols good sir, and find a more Christian method of adjudicating your disputes.

Try a Rad/Dual Pistols Defender for the debuffs of Rad to make the relatively weaker Defender blasts more effective. Dark/ would also probably work, but I haven't tested it yet.

For a Blaster, use the Lethal/Standard rounds for the KB, paired with a strong AoE ranged set like Mental Manipulation. Baddies that are either dead or knocked on their keesters don't hit you back.

You might want to try a Force Fields/Pistols Defender.

The force fields will give you decent mitigation and you can heavily proc your attack powers for damage.
