i really like the Buccaneer :)

Buccaneer is my favorite class by far.

Can you train to wear heavy armor as a Musketeer and where do you buy the training point at to obtain the heavy armor skill.

No,you get practice points starting at 8, and then every 4 levels until 20, then its every 5 levels. Also i think they arrrrrrrrrrr awesome!

Normally, i like magic, but i rlly like b-neers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I made Level 50 today and thought I would share some thoughts:

My second school was Privateer with one point in Witchdoctor.

The journey was flat out fun! My favorite quest by far was Stormzilla though for quite a while I hated it and complained on the board. It was me not KI; I learned about patience and things about strategy that made the rest of my journey relatively easy. As a tank I was head down and attack for the longest time but at higher levels it is wise in a lot of cases to lay back and let the mobs come to you.

My favorite companions in order are Monkey King, El Toro, Kobe Yojombo and Bonnie Anne. Monkey King is just an amazing companion and I can't imagine getting to 50 without him although I fear he is unique to Bucaneer, I hope not.

I had 3 pets but always used the one I started with, the parakeet. I appreciated the little hits all the way to the end as I will take any damage I can get and more importantly the distraction they cause is so worth it.

I didn't do any side quests but now that I'm 50 I'll go bact to the start and do them. For me it's all about getting every training point I can and I intend to log those quests that give them for my next character which will probably be a Witchdoctor.

Kudos to KI for all the fun and I'm looking for to the next expansion. In the meantime there is so much more I want to do that this game will keep me busy for quite some time.

Level 50 Bucaneer

Buccaneer has to be my favorite class of them all, second is Privateer.

Buccaneer is an epic class

Buccaneers are sturdy warriors, who rely on brute strength to overcome their enemies. They wear the heaviest armor, carry the biggest weapons. What Buccaneers lack in grace or finesse they make up for with raw courage: withstanding enemy attacks is the key to a Buccaneer's strategy.

If you are a Buccaneer look for ways to boost your STRENGTH

ya right, KI say buccaneers are the big hitters but they arent really, all they do is hit big numbers most times; while a swashbuckler would hit like maybe 5 one hundreds, a buccaneer would just hit a big 380 or two 190's :P and that IS in comparison to the five hundred. does it sound like it make sense to bring a fragile GIRL raccoon like morgan laffite into battle over a gruff HAMMER HEAD shark like Mordekai? noo way unless your ALWAYS fighting in a dark alley were she can just sneak up on you and poke your spleen or something :P

go ahead and make swash bucklers hit the more damage than buccaneers, which i still dont agree with, but cant KI make buccaneers be able to do other thing that strong brutal people can do? like maybe a KO attack? srsly, i was sure when i first read about and downloaded this game that buccaneers would be able to ko opponents.
they could have an axe throw, or a dazing skill called power strike, were they knock the wind outa you and make your buffs run fore like 2 less turns, and then later like at lvl 65 or so, they could get mighty blow, which take off five turns, that would be cool. or you could make them have one called ram, were they ram you and knock you back some spaces, like 3, and then they could get POWER ram later, that hits you back like five spaces. then you compile them one after the other and push them a good deal of spaces back

or how about fortitude, they could use this to keep living for like 400 damage below thier life, the way it would work is that you cant put them below zero in one attack, so like if i battle a buccaneer and he use fortitude, and i backstab him and hit like 1500, and he only had 900 life left, i would kill him right? but because he have fortitude on, the rest of 600 is just cutt of and then you have to take of the rest of 400 hundred with a whole different blow, or maybe he'd bleed to death :P either way you get what i mean

all theese i think are good ideas, maybe a litttle to powerful, but yall can maybe cut them down a bit.

i love buccaneers, but if they dont get any new upgrades, i'll just stick with mi ninja :P

BTW, the cool names like mighty blow and fortitude, and power ram and power strike, my bro came up with
but the ideas are mostly mine thx for listening! if you all are ... :P

Cunning Xavier Veldon, lvl 37 swash buckler

why do vengeance strike hit less? it MAKE NO SENSE!!

also, for epics that hit more or less, like riposte, more and first strike, less, cant KI put it on the card?
and are they even listening and considering these posts??

Xavier lvl 37 swash

From what i have read buccaneers are supposed to be the "big hitters" and i just have a few too many problems with that phrase right there. it's probably because they are not! I dont say they should be overly powerful but considering the fact that swashbucklers got an extra epic "riposte" which i have no problem with because it makes sense. Buccaneers should be able to use the relentless epic because it is just so fitting for buccaneers nature and because even though they have the most epic blade storm lvl 2? seriously? how many time is a buccaneer surrounded by enemies who are all almost dead? huh? RARE! very rare so blade storm doesn't quite fit them. i think instead of the blade storm epic buccaneers should have relentless. Also, shouldn't buccaneers charges "mighty charge vicious charge and brutal charge" hit a little more damage? its just really terrible being a buccaneer and using your strongest skill only to see it hit 300 critical. seriously i think buccaneers need a real makeover.

You can wear heavy armor as any class, it just may not be advisable. In order to get the "Practice Points" you need, you can complete quests for Prospector Zeke, the first of which is finding Funky Bunches for Marquis Marque which are scattered all over the staring areas, one in each landing zone, for the most part. Otherwise, you get a Practice point for reaching lvl 8, and at certain points in your leveling up (every 5 levels starting at 15, I think).

Heavy Armor can be trained by the Buccaneer Trainer Mordekai. You have to be level 10 and have already gotten "Light Armor".

Actually you are wrong in this case, as a musketeer or witchdoctor or even swashbuckler you cannot wear heavy armor. Just like how shadow dance just cannot be learned with a practice point and is swashbuckler only so is heavy armor. It can only be learned by a privateer or buccaneer at level ten or higher, who already has light armor. It cannot ever be learned by a musketeer, swashbuckler, or witchdoctor.
