NO! buccaneer is already way to overpowered!

Stop it. No. Bucks don't need a nerf. Just stop it.

I wholeheartedly disagree, buccaneers honestly need a nerf if anything. With a strength buff in turn the tide, a buck can one turn an unshielded unit from full off of a basic hit. That alone is absolutely ridiculous. If a buck gets one critical with a buff up, you can usually expect to lose a unit or half of your health even if you are shielded.

Between Hold the Line 3, Vengeance strike 3, Bladestorm 3, Turn the Tide 3 (that's a lot of epics they get naturally by the way) and Relentless 2, they don't need anything else to succeed in PvP.

The swashbuckler class doesn't need to be touched, fog is balanced and has numerous counters. If you'd like to argue that, there are numerous threads that have been there/done that in this section that you can refer to. Privateers I can agree need a nerf though. The class is far too dominant in the current meta, especially with old scratch and trees being relevant.

Buccaneers are one of the top picked classes (besides Swashbuckler and Privateer) and they do not need to be buffed. It's very well possible to beat a Privateer as a Buccaneer, if you can tank out their hits and last until their companions are dead, Privateers will almost always lose late game.

As for Black Fog, it's been discussed many times before. Fog isn't 100% perfect, Scent 2 completely counters it and again you can tank their hits and even Vengeance Strike them back. Privateers have an advantage over Buccaneers but bucks have favorable matchups against Musketeers and Witchdoctors and an even-ish matchup against Swashbucklers. Buffing them would just cause more problems honestly.

Late game vs privy being an easy win. I can’t even believe someone could say that. As a champion swashbuckler I lose late game as privys just hold onto their nefarious scorpions, use them late game, use zeal, use fort, dodges everything since elusive 3, uses forts, armors, or levathians call, and soul shrouds me to death.
I agree with everything else though

Bucks are fine, the best player i have ever seen ingame was a buck you simply need to learn how to use it, realize where you mess up, accept your faults, and fix them, i completely agree on privateers needing a nerf though, remove boon and discord.

Nausica with boon fort and VA is truly a killer.

I would like some gear tips also tips on companions, pets, and strategies
