In Settings, Set Firstmate to Act First?

Do you guys go in settings and set your firstmate to act first if you are a privy, musk, or witch? I was wondering since that way I could get buffed by old scratch and my bombs would do more damage within a round faster. Is this a common thing? Please let me know.

In game play, whether it's PVP or PVE, the captain always goes first, then the first mate. ( The only exception to that rule is quest promotions, where the companion being promoted goes next after the captain. ) There is no way to change this.

It isn't possible to set a first mate to go before your pirate.

Then what does the setting do?

The setting "First Mate" allows the companion you chose as first mate to always appear in battle. The other settings are: "Random", which gives a random choice to appear & "In Order": where the first 3 companions will always appear.
