This is a shame, but not as much as a shame as it could be. That is to say that I'm having an hilarious blast with this build. I load it up when I'm frustrated and done testing various things. I walk into a room and kill everything, usually my party. Which is comedy! I often wonder how the conversations go afterwards. Eder (laconic drawl): Could you just, you know, stop?

For a brief update: I finished a playthrough as a Votary, dual-pistols (Thundershock, Ecca's). Nothing was too difficult and definitely PotD viable. I am working on two right now and could solicit some advice. The first is what I think is my own creation: A Cantor (Helwalker/Troubadour). The pistols and monks abilities of course provide the punch, and the Troubadour is providing getting dual-wield reload (with Flurry and the singy-song-of-bullet-speed). I'm getting pretty darn close to sub 2.0 seconds. I think. I'll need to double check. This will absolutely be PotD capable and I can't wait to finish up my solo Veteran and pop it up a level. Unfortunately, I had to use Berath's Blessings. The second is, as suggested a few posts up, a single pistol Ascendent/Troubadour. I'm not as far along, but the crowd control is naturally amazing, it's just the damage is a bit under. Any suggestions beyond those barebones framework?

Would this build be terrible with an Arquebus, or does losing Gunner from the Ranger class make it too hard?

Thank you all for the help! I'm finishing up a play through using a Votary that's dual-wielding (a slight and minor variation of the link posted above). It's solid enough that I was solo'ing PotD after I got the feel for it (I remade the character a few times). However, you're absolutely right that single use pistol is the better way to go. Further builds I'm going to try include a rogue and druid variation. I can't thank everyone enough for the assist on this. I've had a blast with the dual Votary so far, but it's super fiddly. And in the future, I really, really want to get away from using Paladin sub-classes. They're just used for everything lately.

Hello! I'm pretty new to the game and I love it so far, I very much want to find a build (there currently isn't one in the sticky) that uses two guns. I just want to use two guns and I'd love to use it to someday solo PotD. Does anyone have one or can point me to suggestions so that I can build one? I promise to post the build if I finally succeed with it. Currently: I'm trying out two things and they're working, but only with a party and no-where near PotD: the Bleakwalker sniper Voltron posted and the Kind Wayfarer/Chanter that... Voltron also posted? My memory is horrid. If you have any suggestions, tips, or a link, I'd love to know. If not, I'll keep this updated with my trials and errors. Lots of trials. More errors. Thanks everyone in advance!
