Is it just me or are Marauders really hard to train?

One thing I auto-dislike about a Pirate (except for Gunslingers, since they have range), is that they take too much bump damage, judging by that video of your's, Rusty. My DK took a lot of bump-damage too, but I had HB, so I was always at or near 10k HP at lv 10X. I believe at your level, you'd have around 4-5k HP? A bit more than NLs, I believe.

Thief + warrior = pirate, lol.

Also, it's great to see how many people here are experimenting with Pirate builds and everything, pretty intriguing, I usually stop by just to read experimental stuff.
