April 1, 20187 yr So I'm dualing wielding blunderbuss as a streetfighter/ranger, picked Gunner, Two weapon style and Blunderbuss weapon proficiency. Triggered Streetfighter heat up with blunderbuss modal and I'm able to reach 2.4 second reloading time with two blunderbusses lol. Faster than lots of melee weapons...

April 1, 20187 yr Reload Time is indeed affected now by dual-wielding and two-weapon-style talent O_o At the moment, I tend to think this is not intended, because: - 1. their descriptions explicitly mention "recovery time". DW (from patchnotes): "Dual Wield Recovery bonus has been reduced from -50% to -30% Recovery" TWS (ingame description): "-20% Weapon Recovery when dual-wielding" - 2. Reload Time (unlike recovery) is not reduced by armor.. Edit: just tested: actually in beta4 armor penalty started to apply to reload time.

April 1, 20187 yr Wearing two weapons reducing reloading time must be one of the stupidest design decisions ever both mechanically and thematically. Also as it is if you are wearing two weapons it's better to also wear the heaviest armour since you'll very easily get to speed cap, this is also very silly.

I'll check again in the evening.
