Tipping the scales.

Well I didn't feel like reading every post in this, but I have a corsair and I brought it to Zak at level 120 just for fun and to get practice with getting off and on the battleship. It was actually surprisingly easy when you figure out which hand is causing which damage and what animation went along with it. Like the top left hand for instance it normally does a blue animation that'll do 1 dmg and just a KB, but if it does a purple hand it'll do about 2k or so dmg. So if you see the purple hand just get off the boat and back on. It's really not that hard once you start figuring out the bosses and the animations. So to say a Buccaneer would outdamage a corsair depends a lot on the persons skill of the battleship with Cannon. Considering Buccaneers a lot of the time can just dodge attacks from Zakum etc by using their attacks.
