For you 60+ level Musketeers, what companions do you use and what type of companions do you use?
Capoferro, Livingstone, and sometimes Tyson (He he, cool ranch memories)

Musketeers Are really good but it will be much better if we have overwatch skill so the people who come near us will take damage. Who agree with me that we should have overwatch skill.
Yeah we don't really need elusive, I would trade for overwatch, burst fire 2 and true grit

Why would I need to boost my agility?

Because every once in a while they survive the minefield and WILL get to you. It will be good to be able to duck out of the way before you blast them.

I have a musketeer (still level 19) now as well and it seems good to continue. My main is a level 65 witch doctor and i can say that musketeers are not overpowered, they just have more interesting spells and strategy.

As a musketeer i gladly take the agility and a bit will to boost my magical damage. And do not forget to boost your weapon power. If you manage to get some good totems, necks or rings from floating dutch man that can give you some 5% weapon power and a rose spells, then go with these- at least at the beginning.
So when you choose to be a musketeer, then your main state is agility. And choose your companions wisely!!!!
Best of luck!

For me it is shoot everything in your path.

As any should know the traps are mind games, they think it is bogus while it will hurt.

Musketeer means someone who wields a musket. The French musketeers used guns too. In the story, though, they used swords more because they didn't have any ammunition.

I have always been a fan of old muskets, flintlocks, revolvers and repeaters, so this class was made for me. I do not regret it

I have two problems for Musketeers like us. One, why is it that we (Asides swashbucklers) Don't get a new power just like everyone else does! For musketeers, we should get a power that stuns opponents in their tracks using our spark gun stun power (or create clouds of electricity without using our most powerful bomb attack when it times out). For Swashbucklers, I got no ideas of how to make them awesome.

They can do both but are much better at ranged. There are several weapons for them that have a gun and a blade so you can experiment a lot.
I actually tried other weapons in which comes with a gun. If a musketeer gets a sword gun combo they lose the blast range except in their special attacks (But they gain the unique melee critical strike affects). The following weapons a Musketeer can use and still use range attacks:

Gun with wand
Gun with shield
Double guns
Musket (Signature)

I'm not sure what a Musketeer is, but I heard there's only three of them. I do know that they enjoy wearing fancy hats.

I love muskets because of the fact that I like guns (gotta give shotguns love) but shotguns in pirate go out of style really fast and cannot be stitched but I am happy with my choice as a musket.

I just recently got into this game after a few years of Wizard101.
Pirate101 fits my playstyle better.

I've been playing for I think maybe 4 months and have maxed a Shashbuckler, a Witchdoctor and I'm now working on my Musketeer.
So far I do like my Musketeer the most.
They are alot of fun! Especially with all the traps and in combination with Captain Blood's Jacket

My primary is a musketeer and I really enjoy the valor and poise of the class. I like privateers for the same reason. I enjoy military history, so musketeers, privateers, and Marleybone are my bread and butter. The though of rushing head-on into uncontrollable melee combat makes me shudder. As a musketeer, I have a sense of control over the battlefield and I can force my enemies to come to me through a killing field of traps and sparkgun fire, only to reach the staunch melee companions that guard my musketeer back line. For high-level fights, I use a crew of El Toro and Contessa who guard Bonnie Anne and I in tightly packed, 2X2 square at the battlefield's edge or corner.

I really really like the ...
It was my first class and was hard to solo at first, but I got the hang of it, and now I'm on a two-person team with a Privateer (he acts as melee damage and heal, as well as buffs)
I like the ranged targeting and how you can do damage from afar...without the enemy coming close.

Though my first class was Witchdoctor, Musketeer is pretty cool too - my preferred battle style is to fight from afar. Go Musketeers!
