I have done very little with my daggers up to now so I cannot help you there. I have near mastered cannon though so here is my 2 cents.

Is lightning not fireable in rounds of 3?
|
Lightning is a single shot. It loads 1, you fire it, then it loads 1.

Also is explosive a single shot or a round of 3

Explosive is also a single shot.

what is the drawback to having explosive, because it seems to be alot of damage? Someone said something about not being able to carry much ammo I think.

Explosive has 3 major drawbacks but it is an interesting skill. If they ever introduce ship to ship PVP, it might be VERY interesting.
The first drawback is you can only carry 3.
The second is the range is VERY VERY short. You pretty much have to be within a couple boat lengths to hit it.
The final drawback is it's insanely LONG load time. It takes as long as loading and firing 2 or 3 lightning rounds.
I put one point in this when it became available and I kind of regret it. I really never use it. That does not mean it is a useless skill. There is a way to make this work and I bet in ship to ship PVP, it could really be an awesome site maxed.
When I am sailing on a small crew with people I know, I inform everyone that 1 cannon on each side is my "Special Cannon" (usually the one closest to the stairs). When I first board the ship, I run to each of those cannons and "load" my explosive round. The game remembers the last ammo you loaded there when you get back so it is waiting for you. Now, I use other cannons to fight with. If a ship happens to spawn right on top of us, I just run to my loaded "Special" and lob an explosive round at the hull. The animation looks cool and it does do some serious damage. Maxed, it would probably near sink most ships. This does not happen much but it is fun to use once in a while.

Anyone know the limits of ammo on any or all of the cannon types?
|
I understand this as the limits on the amount you can carry. I am pretty sure these are correct:
Round = Unlimited
Chain Shot = 50
Grape Shot = 50
Firebrand = 50
Thunderbolt = 50
Explosive = 3
Fury = 50
Happy Sailing!
