Introduction
Pirate101 has 5 different classes, each one having different pros and cons, and different play-styles. These classes consist of the tough Buccaneers, the sharp-shooting Musketeers, the supporting Privateers, the nimble Swashbucklers, and the tricky Witchdoctors.
Type: Melee
Pros: High Health, High Armor, High Base Damage Many Epics, Charge Powers
Cons: Low Resist, Few Powers, Only One AOE Power
Buccaneers are one of the tanking classes of Pirate101. Their high health, and armor allow them to take a lot of damage from Melee attackers, and their epics allow them to deal the damage right back at them. Their charge powers allow them to get to the enemy very quickly, and start tanking so their companions don’t have to worry about getting hurt. However, they are very susceptible to Musketeers and Witchdoctors, who get around armor with their magical attacks, and because most Buccaneer Epics won’t trigger against them. Their lack of powers always means they rely on their accuracy more than the other classes, and they only have one AOE, Reckless Frenzy, which is received very late in game (Level 65). However, the amount of damage they can absorb from Melee attackers, and deal right back is staggering.
