You could probably give it to Blasters as well. They have the tech for primary and secondary sets using different weapons, such as a Bots/TA MM. If you allow the pistol to be some kind of gunblade or pistol with a bayonette, it could also serve as a secondary for DP without forcing redraw as well (might be tricky to code though).|

(This, in of itself could be mitigated by introducing an assault/armor AT. Hinthint, nudgenudge, winkwink?)

I would say a tankmage AT would be overpowered, but that's basically what the Crab SoA and Fortunata Widow VEATs are (as well as Warshades with Eclipse). It would be tricky to balance, but it could work.

Well, it could also be the "point-blank range pistols" Scrappers used to clamor for.

A certain other mmo made by the friendly NCSoft company coming out soon features the ability to use pistol/dagger, dagger/pistol, and sword/pistol, in addition to the "normal" dagger/dagger, sword/sword, and pistol/pistol things we've seen before. Perhaps it works because there's only 5 skills to balance around, but the possibility exists of something like a pokey object and shooty thingy powerset, complete with all sorts of various objects for pokey and shooty things, like guns, knives, bayonets, bubble blowers, broken bottles, etc.
Nevertheless, it's worth pointing out that someone else HAS done it and it IS cool, and works really well.
you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you <3

Also, some of those sets actually DO have quite a few skills in them due to "chain/combo" skills.

Or you could just live with the redraw.

Lol'd. If this was actually a bug... all this time... hahaha. *shakes head*

Q: Why do so many villain tip missions happen in port Oakes? A: bug! (not one i've encountered >>) |
Anyone got a link? I cant find it on twitch or youtube.
Her powers are ultimately described rather vaguely, and what little has been shown does not suggest she would be impossible to make outside the existing power selections. Costume's a bit of another matter.
Now as far as Sparkblade is concerned, possibly a simple way around it might be to use him ONLY for a contact or trainer, if he has to be used as an ally, perhaps they could give some handwave to it like "villains stole mah sword, that's why I need heroes to help meh!"
