Pirates

So...it's been years since the first two Pirate classes have been added to GMS, even longer for KMS. Now that the Cannon Shooter class is out in KMS and Mechs are out here already...what is your opinion on the original two jobs? Do you think that they've made a fairly decent reputation for themselves? Or are they maybe too boring for your tastes to ever make one? Too unbalanced with the other classes?

Buccs have been abandoned forever.

Makes life sad.

Psh I still love my Bucc, I just wish they would have revamped them with Jump. I'll probably be 200 before we even hear about an update for Pirates.

lol cannon shooters are everywhere in kms now

My buccaneer is my highest level character

I've leveled it a total of 3 times in the past year and a half ^__^

I kinda stopped liking it as much when they took away the original training method of abusing iFrames. That was my favorite part of the original buccaneer. Granted they got a good buffing in Chaos and the great little niche where they can KB any boss instantly, they have a small place in the maple world. UA release prompted a small buc wagon because it got a hell of a lot easier to train because of fricken sharkwave and that prompted increase of mastery book prices. That + inflation in the economy sent Energy orb books from 300k to almost 20 mil; Dragon strike is almost impossible to find lower than 100 mil, and everything else went up 10 fold as well. I remember when Barrage was the most expensive book in the buccaneer arsenal at 20mil for barrage 30. I've maxed all the "most important skills" now i suppose. I'll have to find a way to get Energy Orb though.

I'll continue my buccaneer as soon as i finish getting him a mask. I've finally made over 100mil without using NX or merchanting. <<- omg what!??

May not be the strongest person alive; may not be the "strongest class"; but for me, I think Buccaneers are by far my favorite still. I do need to level more though. I've had a hard time finding a place to train since everyone i know is level 15x now (i soft-quit during the school year to study and learn at Uni and i didn't have time to play that often).

I don't really count resistance as a pirate. Mechs are pirates in name only. It's obvious their machinery would sink any ship they're on.

Anyway, i think cannoneers/buccs/sairs are well balanced and i'm glad they decided to release cannoneers before doing revamps for pirates because it would destroy that balance. It'll be easier to maintain that balance in the buff update and i hope they don't screw it up.

PIRATES SUCK.
Nah I kid.


They do need a buff though

I really like my rebalanced pirate Mechanic, finally people can't say Mech's are overpowered anymore... lol... xD

Can't wait for pirate buff patch, so they buff Mechs again... :+)

Jump Archers pomegranate all over Corsairs and Cannon Shooters. Buccaneers are Buccaneers. Needs to be buffed.

People play pirates to love them ^^ Not for damage.

What game are you playing? I haven't heard of anyone playing a class for the fun of it in ages.

Cannon Shooters - cool
Corsairs - decent I guess
Buccaneers - meh
Mechanics - why.jpg

Buccs suck, needs a buff. Hey I made a rhyme.

I still love my Viper to every possible length. I just wish, like others have already said, Nexon would give us some decent skill revamps.

I still main my Viper and it is the single highest character I own by 33 levels. lol

that's why I still play on my wind archer :f6:

Yeah, it's true.

If my bm gear was xferable over, i'd gladly make a bucc. Alas, dex isn't what's needed. However, I really really appreciate good buccs on boss runs. Even as a BM that gets nothing from SI, I like to have them along.

I'm considering a bucc as my next class.

Mechs don't seem as op as they were before now that we have DBs lol. And if I compare them to other classes that got buffed with Jump, I think they are fine now. Would like them to change Satellite Safety so that it works only with atks above ur 100% HP though, dunno what they were thinking. Why would I need protection against an atk that does 2k dmg?(30%of max hp or w/e, forgot the % number).
Sairs are fine, but some pt buff skill would be nice, and a bit of a damage buff if you want them to be like Mechs, but I think they are fine with Octo. They are not that weak at all even if we compare them to mechs. Problem is they can only attack, while mechs can attack and give a nice atk pt buff. Giving them something like a pt buff, maybe % ignore defense for your party or something like that would be a good idea.
Buccs...ya, I suppose the job is fun, but it definately needs a damage buff. Not sure about Canon Shooters, but job looks fun.

I Have a ThunderBreaker and a Brawler. I loved the original way Bucc's used to be. Now people just spam BSB and DS. I fell in love with their skill arsenal it was the most unique thing Buccaneer is.

I remember the last time I said this, no one ever said a positive thing toward the thread. All I received was about 10 pages of pure hate.
