I feel so underpowered for VA2. I am using the hoodoo bundle gear, the moo dragon axe, and for my companions: contessa, the march or bonnie anne, and either old scratch or ratbeard. sometimes, I use russel to. I feel so newbie in VA2. tips? I am also level 68, and a . help from anyone will help, as long as it doesn't involve packs. my pack luck is like my luck at getting captain bloods jacket- terrible. thanks! I would like to try to finish VA2 before the next story update. so I can be caught up for once!

You're not underleveled don't worry. Are your companions underleveled? That may be the problem.

Privateer is probably the hardest (in my experience) pirate to level up on. They can't fight for themselves too well and sometimes the companions are dead or just aren't pumping out enough damage. Don't be afraid to go to Avery's court and ask for some help from a level 70! Although some people may make fun of you there are lots of helpful pirates looking to help others out.

It's not your level, it's not your gear, it's your strategy. If you are using a certain team, and they are not succeeding, try a different team. Returning to Valencia showed many of us that we had become complacent in being over-powered and meeting enemies who didn't have quite the build as our own team, and so were easily defeated without losing a single companion to Bed Rest.

Well, we had to wake up and face criticals and First Strike 3 and all those things that are causing you to doubt whether you are ready. Change your thinking to a more defensive plan. Change your team, and buff them -- protect them before they are hit. Hide in the corner to protect your ranged defenders with Overwatch 3 and use your tough buccaneers to defend.

AND try to find other pirates to team up with. Going it alone is possible, but harder.

You can do it - I know you can because I did.

thanks! I might have to wait a bit to try these out. my game was lagging really bad. also I am not even CLOSE to finishing VA2. just because I am that level, doesn't mean I finished it. I side quested a bit in aq/mb/ms. sorry, I get upset easily. I have good gear I got from doing kane from porting in, I just need to get to that level. I have a moo ring and weapon. also I just started VA2 a couple weeks ago. thanks again for any tips! I was also bullyed a bit in w101, so I don't like asking for help in the commons or Avery's court. I am side questing to level up a bit, so I can prepare for the rest of VA2 and beyond.

WHOOP WHOOP! leveled up earlier! yay :D

I would be happy to help you, been awhile since I met any new marauders. (plus even with really good gear vp2 is tough)
