Powerset? Maybe not necessarily...

 

V-FX option to have one pistol/gun/weapon in one hand and a sword/shield/gun/etc. in the other? Superb!

Does anyone know if Christopher Hastings plays on Homecoming?

Christopher Hastings should play on Homecoming.

Someone get Christopher Hastings here, pronto!

[MTeague]

While I'm not AGAINST more melee/ranged choices... 

.... honestly I'd like to see more Controller/Dominator primaries and Dominator secondaries added first.

 

There's already a LOT more choices for the melee types and support types.

Show a little love for the Controllers and Doms'.

So, uh . . . Sword and Pistol Control, then?

No, I want Pistols and Sword Control!  😆

[ImpousVileTerror]

That's ok.

 

We can't all be right(-handed).

Sadly the problem is as I now recall with my Archery ninja that sometimes you are hitting with an invisible sword..  
 

Gonna try a Sentinel DP/SR with Ninja.. 

The Primary would have to keep both weapons out.. Otherwise it won't work due to graphic issues..  Because the swapping of weapons will just create a series of invisible attacks with either weapon..

Street Assault.

Dual Pistol/Assault Rifle ranged attacks with Dual Blade/Kantana Melee attacks. Gogo.

Probably better if 1 Pistol and 1 Sword, so you could chain attacks together without redraw issues.

And 1 hand on the blade would prevent direct use of the katana animations. 

 

But maybe Broadsword animations with selection of any 1 blade available to Dual Blades?

And any 1 pistol available to dual pistols, .... though I don't think they have any nice quick cut/paste on pistols animations (that only shoot from one pistol)

 

But I like "Street Assault" as an idea.

Oh, yeah that's 100% what I meant.

Broadsword animations hold the swords with 2 hands IIRC, which is why I more suggested DP/DB... just change one of the hands to hold a gun/sword instead where appropriate (could just be a costume option/setting instead of the actual animations...it'd be a bit weird, but could be worse).

It might look a bit funny with the gun hand waving around, ditto for DP with things coming out of the sword hand occasionally...but at least they're already designed to have individual items in both hands, just gotta update the costume options to have 1 hand pull from gun pool 1 hand to pull from sword pool.

or just go all out with new costume items gunswords...

Hey, if Zer0 can use bladed swords guns in Borderlands 2, why not?

This would make for a good Assault Set if we're talking full range for the pistol powers & we already have a character from the Korean launch that exemplified this type of character

[plainguy]

I created a  Sentinel DP SR Ninja, but I have a Archery Ninja Blaster.  

Oddly enough I noticed that the Sentinel has no issues swapping between guns and sword whereas the Blaster more than often fights with invisible weapons.. Either the sword does not exist or the bow when swapping back and forth. But again no issue with the Sentinel build..

I'm more than certain a "weapon assault" was planned for the near future if the game hadn't shut down.  I think the gun-and-sword combo was one of the more highly requested power sets, and the Korean hero was probably meant to hype it up a bit too.

[biostem]

I think a single pistol set could be differentiated enough from dual pistols that it'd be worthwhile;  Focus on slower, more carefully placed shots that hit harder, instead of DP's flashy rapid-fire attacks.  Similarly, a single-handed blade set could be centered around fencing-like thrusts and parries, instead of the more sweeping slashing moves broadsword or katana/ninja blade have.  To make it fit together, have each use a different hand, and allow the other weapon to be drawn/held while you're using each.  You could create a ranged attack set, a melee set, and a hybrid assault set using these...
