specialized pirates?

• blades
  specializing in swords and daggers
  easiest because you start with sword skill and can unlock dagger relatively early
• munitions
  specializing in guns and grenades
  not so easy because you have to "keep to the code" when it comes to EITC and Navy (and other pirates in PvP? haven't tried it)
• voodoo
  specializing in dolls and staffs
  hardest to get started since doll doesn't unlock until notoriety 10 (but see below)
• sailor
  specializing in sailing and cannon
  (obviously not "only" these, as you can't take out critters with cannon)

i was thinking it might be possible to do something weird like master fishing and potions to get started towards voodoo doll, and then try to master doll to reach level 30 and unlock staff. of course, once you'd master those, you'd probably want to (or need to) move on to something else to fully master the pirate.

has anyone though of, or tried (or accomplished?!) anything like that?

I've had actually made a pirate for the Blades pirate, and that was my plan. Although I am in the process of leaving pirates I don't see this in the future.

Cougar is my SVS Specialist - with maxed cannons and points configured to favor svs.
Kat Five is my treasure hunter.. with the famed Golden Charm and maxed treasure sense - I use her when the guild want to go sailing for plunder and gold.

I have not decided Jag's fate or Fire Tigress.. But I do like the idea of specializing your pirates. I usually make that decision when they are close to mastering, and depending on the luck of their drops.

I think you left out something....


Grenades. My third pirate has, Cannon, Sailing, Sword, gun, Dagger, and getting grenades. I'm gonna master Grenades first. Favorite weapon.
