Here is my revised ranking for each class, in my opinion.

1. Pro-Heavy damage, Nice gears, Stealth,Poison and Bleed ability a.k.a over time damage, in my case high health choosed the born strong trait, can jump over obstacles and hard to counter in close combat.

Con-Even with high health can't last battle that long, in my opinion weak to long range attacks

2. Pro-High Health, High Armor, High Damage, good chain attack, last a long battle,unless you entered the Valencia 2 chapters and without Moo Manchu's Terracotta ability.

Con-Slow,weak to pricing weapons and hoodoo powers, low on magic defense.

3. Pro-High Dodge,Good ranged attack, and with gunnery good on group attack and tarp abilities

Con-Low on defense,weak to close combat

4. Pro-Good on long range attack, good long range traps, healing is a must for long battle,good on both magic attack and magic defense, Highest will of any class.

Con-Very low on physical defense,weak to physical attack,lowest physical attack of any class, in my opinion very challenging class to work with ( I would save this for the 4th or 5th run in pirates, have fun if this is your main character )

5. Pro-Good for group gaming, High defense in both physical and magic, make a good support team

Con-Low damage, in my opinion hard to solo,requires a lot of patience to make a good

In summary and class are great for a stirghit forward battle a ninja style battle and dauntless style battle respectively . , and class for a more guile approach. Two long ranged class and a Support class respectively.

muskets cover swash
bucks cover muskets and witch
witch covers swash (kind of) and musket
privateer can kill anyone
swashbuckler can pull the win on anyone with a fifty fifty chance
my main being a witch the biggest problem witch witches is if a buck or swash gets near us we can be killed in one hit. we cant get rid of invisibility and don't have anything like hold the line.

Interesting interesting. This is still going on? When I was inexperienced two years ago I posted that Witchdoctor was the best class. Now that I have four max level pirates and have pvped with all of them, I think that there is no best class. If you have the right gear and right strategy, then you can beat any class. Same goes for losses.

My newest max level character is a Privateer (got bored of being Golden Chris Silver so I went with Golden Christina Silver), and I have to say, it's a very simple class to play. But of course, not every class has a guaranteed easy win.

I would have to say . They have best health. Second best armor. With good gear and the right weapons that get boost from will and are slashy and another type, they have high attack I mean only have more than them. Only class that gets heals. A heck of a lot of buffs. And most companions than any other class.

Bold Ryan Richardson (lvl 70) and noobs.

Naturally everybody will pick the class of their favorite pirate and why not?
