Pistols/Martial build help?

[Epoch Paradox]

Was trying for defense s/l/e & range softcap while keeping good damage/recharge on this pistol wielding blapper. 2 kicks wasn't enough to satisfy so added crosspunch to try and round out the engagement abilities.

Offer tweaks or entirely fresh build, I'm open.

Only just recently realized the 8%? def melee/ranged boost from hail of bullets, I guess because it won't accept defense enh., it's a very brief buff so not counting it in totals.

I'm working on a DP/MC build too.  I'm not great at this yet but here's what I've come up with so far.  Hoping some others weigh in as well. 🙂

Cool build!  This is why I have so many problems figuring out good builds.  The build you posted has much better attacks while mine is a bit more survivable.  Trying to find that balance on this build has been super frustrating! lol
