I'm curious who is actually using pistol and in which modes.
I spent a lot of time practising the rotation on the dummy and it did actually feel quite nice so I took it into raids.
As soon as I had to break rotation to cc, mechanics, res (or down state, ele life) I was screwed. I had no idea what bullets were loaded and found it nigh on impossible to work out where I was with them, if I tried to squint at the buff tray then I'd take a mechanic to the face.
I've challenged our guild rotation robot (he says he's human but we don't believe him) to give it a go to see how he goes but I suspect he'll hit the same issues.
I've been an ele main since og gw2 so whilst I won't pretend to be an expert I think I've got a fairly good handle of the class.
Ps, it still sounds horrible but less noticeable when on discord with 9 other folks shouting "wall"
