dual shotgun character

[jasonhu21]

What would be a great class for a dual shotgun or pistol ranged character?

[jasonhu21]

anyone can help? Currently I am considering ranger/monk or ranger/rogue multi class, but have no idea about the subclass

[Cutlass Jack]

Personally I'd probably go Ranger/Chanter. Chanter gets the reloading chant, and Ranger gets the gunner perk for more reload speed and other ranged perks like marksman.

Subclass doesn't really matter. I'd combine Troubador for extra chant linger and probably the Ranger with the spirit pet so I didn't have to see the pet all the time.

But Ranger/Rogue would be fine too. Any class that has moves that are 'full attacks' will work great since it will fire both guns.

The double pistol wielder I have in my group is a Troubador/Darcozzi Paladin. But she's more of a cheerleader build focusing on group support buffs who also fires pistols.

edit: also be sure and do the scavenger hunt thing pinned to the top of the forum. The Cutthroat Cosmo pet you get from that is great for gun users.

Go Priest of Wael + Rogue Streetifgher. Use 2 blunderbuss with the modal on. You being flanked will give you +50% action speed and Priest of Wael is there because it has a lot of deflection skills which pair up nicely with Rogue's ability riposte.

Street fighter looks like a good subclass choice for a blunderbuss build

Very! Just dont forget to turn on the blunderbuss modal. I've soloed with it on potd with level scaling mod. But the problem is the last boss. You won't have enough pen to deal damage... I had to hire 1 other adventurer and specced them to have 20 arcana just so I can nearly one shot the last boss with meteror scroll.

Closest would be Frostseeker which is a 2 handed warbow that has reallly good pen that fires 3 projectiles per shot over the Blunderbuss's 4

monk/ranger

monk/rogue

monk/barbarian

monk/fighter

pick one

monk is ideal due to the swift flurry damage loop(every crit with a weapon has a 33% chance to cause a new damage isntace that can crit and also has a 33% chance to trigger a new isntance of dmg that can loop infinitely)

ranger is good for accuracy bonuses(mark prey+accurate wounding shot)+faster reloads+projectile bounce

rogue can apply many afflictions and do tons of dmg via sneak attack/deathblows

barbarian can attack faster and barbaric blow has great hit-to-crit conversion

fighter is just a good all-rounder

all 4 above have full attack abilities to shoot both guns at once

another option is monk/cipher for more versatility, you could use the paralyze invocations to get crits(paralyzed targets have 50% of incoming hits converted to crits) but chanters dont have a full attack ability

[Treyen]

anything with monk..fair warning, though, while it's hilarious the first couple times, as soon as you get swift flurry the combat in the game might as well be on god mode cause any slight challenge left in it is gone. You'll be one shotting entire groups with the infinite damage loop from swift flurry proccing off of itself over and over. with fighter you can charge through a pack and it will fire 4 shot at every single thing you hit..any one of those 4 procs the flurry and you shoot another 4...and on and on and on for every target...but it'll work with any other class, just changes the method...ranger for example you just spam wounding arrow until it procs and proceeds to shred your target and bounce every single shot to more targets behind them, proccing more shots..on and on...truly the most broken ability in this game.

Fighter (Devoted) / Rogue (Assassin) is my vote.
Biggest weakness of the blunderbuss is the abysmal penatration, devoted helps alleviate some of that while the assassin provides great damage and utility with its debuffs.

Black Jacket fighter - rogue streefighter was my first and it was pretty epic= you are a real gunslinger with multiple guns combinations

Devoted /rogue could be great too

Right now

Im enjoying a lot my current Monk/Druid is some kind of badass battlemage

PLus you can use the monk abilities while transformed

How does it work with Monk/Druid? I am also interested in that. So you use a melee weapon and cast druid abilities?

I went with Cipher/rRogue and did some pretty incredible damage especially with the help of the soul whip bonuses. Plus you had the cipher abilities to use as well.
