Melee or Ranged?

I like both, however I do prefer ranged in this game. The fact that you can stand back while your companions do all the melee work while you throw sparks at your opponents from a distance certainly helps you keep fighting.

How about you folks?

I'm a run up and wallop 'em kind of pirate. Ranged is nice, but I consistently get more chained attacks with melee.

Agreed, just replace sparks with magic.

I like melee pirates, but I think when it comes to ranged they're able to attack enemies quickly and take them out faster.

This is only from my experience with a musketeer. Other people have different opinions on it.

I personally like to play defense so I suposse its ranged but I play aggressively when approached but I suppose ranged is a more dominant characteristic in my startegies

As I privateer I usually stay back and let companions do the fighting for me but I like using slashy and shooty weapons in the game because I can get bonuses from my shooty and slashy weapons talents
