You asserted that Akstiletto already stands out among dual-auto pistols. They do not. That is because even if we narrow the category down to my original categorization of them as Automatic Hitscan Dual Pistols it's a crowded category.

Just naming the best from each family you have Akzani, Akstiletto, Aksomati, Dex Furis, Twin Grakata, and Wraith Twin Vipers for the Akstiletto to compete with.

Yes they are stable and easy to handle but that doesn't make up for it's shortcomings. The other 5 weapons all have higher firerate, crit multipliers, and magazines, 3 of 5 have a higher crit chance, 3 of 5 have the same per shot damage. All 5 have Sustained DPS on par with or better then Akstiletto's Burst DPS.

As far as Status builds go, they can't reach 100% chance so the goal is Status per Second. But, Twin Grakata will, with identical builds, do 4 status procs for evey 3 Akstiletto will.

So Akstiletto will be outclassed by at least 1 similar weapon on raw DPS builds, Crit Builds and Status builds.

I enjoyed the looks and feel of Akstiletto when I leveled them, the same as I did for Karak and still do on my Karak Wraith, but I also know that it's not a mediocre weapon. Say you enjoy the feel, say you like the looks, don't say they "have traits that makes them stand out" because they aren't anything special.
