The same could be said for almost any item about letting other classes use it Imho Occultist is in need of every crutch that it currently has to compete with OK.
Did you see a lot of Occultist builds using those pistols because they are an exclusive “crutch” to Occultist mastery? Occultist is more of a caster/pet mastery and it’s not suited well for auto-attackers.
Hell, I’ve actually used these in probably a dozen builds and TC’d another half-dozen with these as well. So, yes, I have.
This 2H has no class skill restriction for the conversion. Much like the Inquisitor IC relic of uber RR (just as an example), this can be used by any combo, in spite of losing the +skills.
I don’t care much about proving top-tier builds I think you worry more about the spreasheet wall than trying to play stuff.
For every posted build, there is likely to be a duplicate (or more) not posted. And soo many more not registered. I throw out ideas all the time - some untested, nary a huge guide. There are surely players much more inventive than me.
But, I will say that I’m not downplaying your efforts in making guides. You do a very good community thing.
Mate, I am not trying to get into the argument for the sake of argument.
I am just saying, if this pistol is indeed a “crutch” for Occultist mastery which is, I agree, underperforming outside of pet builds, than it makes sense to leave that pistol as an Occultist exclusive. It’s just I don’t think this is a case, that’s all.
