Ask a Pirate Thread

Over in this thread, I couldn't help but notice that Octopus got changed from 'base attack' to a percentage...450% when Wrath is maxed (And it's 5 seconds longer.) Did Octo just go from decent to pineappleing awesome?

Also, I'd like to hear other peoples' opinions on Air Strike and Rapid Fire post BB; AS seems useless with a 20 second cooldown, and then that's only at max. RF seems to be outshined by ship cooling off in 30 seconds, though it's nice to have a decently damaging skill while still being mobile.

Air Strike sucks. Rapid Fire is meh. Boat+Torpedo kicks even more ass than it used to, Cannon is about the same but has a lot more uptime because of Boat, and Counterattack rocks. Assuming Octo works like we think it works, it'll be amazing.

I say Cannon -> Ship -> Torp -> Counter -> Bullseye -> Octo -> MW -> don' matta, but it's up for debate. It's a tossup between Counter, Bullseye, and Octo since they're all so phenomenal. I chose Counter since it takes the least SP.
