So, I tried Desperado build and it was quite funny until I got pwned by Arachnotron in Hell's Armory:

Ah.. If only I got this power mod..

[Deathwind]

hmmm, it looks like you went for a single pistol damage build to me.
Doesn't C4Cypher's 'Desperado' build revolve around Fin->Jug->SoB->SoB->SoB?

[Kg]

Yea, you're right, I'm sorry. I was refering to Desperado as a non Dualgunner build. Though if you play AoMc, Dualgunner would be OP, it's 2x damage.

[Deathwind]

Don't get me wrong, single pistol damage has proven to be a very good build but it's worth that one rank for dualgunner just for the option.

C4Cypher's 'Desperado' build is about abusing juggler with shotguns in the early game and switching to pistols later. It looks good on paper but still needs to be proven and refined.

As a side note, why did you skip the chained court? Your build needs as much exp early as possible so you can kill the later monsters.

[Kg]

Oh I guess I was in dire situation and couldn't go there... I don't remember really. About Juggler - yea, I'd try this option.. but by common thinking it would be best for rapid fire weapons with BFG / RL rather than for pistols.

[Deathwind]

The chained court starts with the equivalent of 5 berserk packs, I'm not trying to be a pain but I keep seeing people skip it.

As far as that build goes it's VERY good for shotguns early in the game. With 2 standard shotguns (equipped and prepared) and 1 combat shotgun (in backpack) it goes: fire standard, free swap, fire other standard, free swap, fire combat, then pump fire till target dies. Three shot without a reload or pump will kill most monsters. It's a transforming build, the early juggler is not for the pistols the SoaB and later SoaG is.

[Kg]

Yes I can see your point. I don't know what happened, but I always go for Chained Court if possible - even on UV it's free exp, because by the time you get there (also with pistols) you do sufficient damage to kill those Barons.
