Calling a Ranger "bandit" as you describe is the problem. Ranger shortbow build has been doing skirmishes (run and gun gameplay) since release. Changing the weapon to pistol will not change the fact that it is a Ranger with pistols. This is what happens when you remove the key aspects of the Thief. Daredevil is a Staff Warrior.
