Hi guys,
i have a short question. I like the two skills, and my question is, can it work? as dual pistols or 2h rifle? i think it can’t the two skills have different damage types or can it work?
Hi guys,

You can make it work somewhat. Rightclick ABB to get the buff then LMB Cadence for the damage. But it’s not gonna work great.
To use ABB you have to facetank it,plus it hits only with off-hand.On top of that what damage you deal?Cold or converting all to pierce?
No, dual pistols use both weapons with ABB, only dual wield melee use off hand with ABB
cold or converting all to pierce? yeah thats the question :). ABB makes more cold damage and cadence have more pierce and phys damage. I think it makes no sense to combine this 2 skills. In late game the damage will be bad
The main issue with this like Nery said is that ABB only casts when there is a target in range, so you literally have to get close and shoot em in the face. But why do that when you can just use melee weapons which is what ABB is supposed to synergize with.
Unless if you’re another one of those that likes to play pistols like a melee build…
Have you ever actually used ABB with a ranged weapon?? Cause that isn’t true at all
It’s been a while since I played with ABB but that’s not the behavior I remember. If there’s a range on it it’s at least half a screen, unless something has significantly changed.
You can do whatever you want you’ll have a 185% Weapon Damage skill and a 428% Weapon Damage skill at 17/16. The 185% One has some Cold damage you could Convert to Phys maybe but otherwise idk.
Guns i noticed have 100% Conversion Rolls to different things so maybe look through the MI stuff when making your decision. You might find something in the Epics and Legendary stuff to Convert all the Phys to another Element or Cold. I know theres stuff to convert to Phys to Fire for sure ive seen drop for example.
Whatever you do just make sure you have adequate ways to scale whatever you convert to and access to RR(Resistance Reduction) for that Element seeing as how that’s one of your biggest ways to scale damage endgame.
No I was inferring from its behavior with a melee weapon. 
Does ABB range scale with your weapon’s range then? Since it is evident that for melee weapons it only casts when I am “close” to at least one target.
ABB with range weapons works the exact same as primal strike with range weapons. Wherever your shot hits the AOE effect happens.
Thanks for clarifying. That’s very interesting, means I can pair ABB with cold ranged inquisitor and still get the lethal assault bonus. Probably the only reason for me to ever make an infiltrator 
Interesting,one can make Pierce BM,using bladetwisers rings,pack of treacherous belt,murderous breastplate,combine with enough armor piercing can make ranged Cadence build using full pierce boost from Deadly momentum and Lethal assault.Kuba chauses gives bonuses to both,so they are very good here.
hey last question, what you think is better, 2h rifle or Dual pistols for ABB?
Why not? If you have enough conversion, I think it’s feasible. You’re not going to be a top tier shard diver for sure, but I don’t see why you can’t beat MC with it.
Just be sure to convert everything to 1 damage type.
I’d personally go with rifle for the burst damage. It can be quite punishing. Going pistol may be easier to make conversions, though.
