Hey guys, just wanted to make a little somthin about classes. It's one of my FAVOURITE parts of pirate101, and I am making something dedicated to it. Here, we talk, review, etc, about classes. So while I'm at it, I will review the Buccaneer:

The buccaneer has got to be my favorite class. First of all, you get the most powerful gear. You get Kobe, Barnabus, and vengeance strike. You get to do massive damage to a single target, and take lots o' damage too. There just AWESOME!!!

I have a pirate of each class and there are aspects of each that I just love. They are all unique but uniquely delightful. KingsIsle did a great job creating & balancing them.

Ok, one statement is true, the other one? No. Buccaneers can take a lot of hits, but don't do that much damage. Of course, they are Heavy Duty *Chuckle* Duty.. LOL ok so back onto business. They have heavy armor, which gives them good health.

well, buccaneers are great and all . . . if you like having extra stuffing to be kicked out of you. they have good health, and towards the end good abilities, but in my opinion, swash has the best stats in dodge and attack, and decent accuracy. it doesn't matter how much health i have if you cant hit me.

and of course, the boosting abilities of privateer make them almost indomitable, if they understand the mechanics of their abilities. especially with espirit de corps. buccaneer is good for tanking damage, and i'm not saying that their week, but their stats just cant compare in the end

level 65, Mattew walker

Level 17 Sly sloan silver

Buccaneers can take a lot of hits, but dont do much damage compared to a swashbuckler. If you combine a buccaneer and swash, it would be the ultimate tank.

no if you combine musk with swash, thats a tank, great doge, great accuracy, and great damage with good health but witchdoctor with bucanneers health would be good too
