You have to have furious/onslaught perks, to make pistols do good damage. Found in the Agility perk section.
Pistols had they're own Damage perks wich where removed and pistols got just an flat 60% damage buff for free in return.
Those are the replacement skills yes.
Take this onslaught system for example. If you can crit every shot then every weapon plays the same. Pump action shotgun, semi auto rifles, revolver are all shoot, crit, game over.
What used to play as slightly different weapons are now all so powerful they play the same. The only reason to pick one over the other is aesthetics (though that may be important to some).
I personally hate these onslaught changes because of 1 particular reason, reverse onslaught. That inclusion alone means EVERY weapon benefits instead of only a few.
If onslaught was for automatics and say Bethesda worked on instigating for semi autos then there'd still be a choice with consequences.
This is why I'm actually worried if/when they tackle the other weapon perks. They'll no doubt make the game so generic that 1 build and legendary mods will work with every weapon. That is boring to me and will take away the time it took to specialise each of my characters.
A 5 rank perk card still uses up a large amount of perk points but also allows for a bit more flexibility/variety imo.
Even if they make it a 10% per rank, whilst lower than the potential 60% you can get it is still more than slotting 3x2 rank cards for 45% and would cost one point less.
Indeed, a 10mm pistol does more dmg than a fixer (both full upgraded and automatic, even without any legendary mod added), and a "Western" revolver outclasses most non-silenced semi rifles. How utterly pathetic!
Not to say that you can make them work without even using a perk, while you need to spend 9 points in Perception to have the rifles do ALMOST as much dmg as the pistols... Truly delectable performance for the gunslingers, to be honest....
Seriously, I´m glad I was saving resources for some weapon upgrades just when the patch hitted us, so I could just ignore the rifles and focus on the much more OP pistols. Can´t imagine the saltiness of those who spent thousands of caps and resources to trade for rifles that now are just sub-par
