Does a sub weapon pistol works with crossbow basic attacks?
nope you need to use sub weapon attack to shoot it
So you don’t really have a choice but to use shield instead huh. Sigh.
Err if you get a pistol Class later on, you can use pistol offhand with crossbow on main hand lol
Or Just get pistol for the stat, Shield offer defensive stat while pistol give you offense 
When I play wugushi I use Arde dagger with crossbow, cuz dagger attack is so fast, it’s sick, damage from dagger also count toward crossbow regular attack, I believe it also true with pistol
It’s a nonsense for me to use dagger since i have a running shot. I won’t go to a pistol class too so i guess i don’t have any choice. Thanks anyways
