Not sure what they did, either they made the Black Pearl have stronger armor, or the forts are doing less damage.

Thank you for the links. No, with my gray name now, I haven't done a boss battle in about a month - it is very sad to hear that they are extra easy again. C'est la vie.

OK, I'm not a real gamer. I admit it. I was playing this game for fun, not JUST to level up. I think if you look at my skill point allocation you'll be horrified. No, I don't do just one skill point on something, unless I consider it worthless. No, I don't allocate any skill points to maximize reputation bonus...I spent the skill points on things I thought would get me the most damage, quickly. Sorry for being naive - I honestly had no idea your goal focused only on max rep.

Well the original poster's post was technically about leveling weapons, lol.

When you are lvl 40 trying to master grenades in Tormenta Cave, getting five points for each Molusk or Urchinfist killed (well, sometimes three or one or zero) you'll see that ANY other weapon would have been better to finish with. I know I didn't learn about the Kingshead invincible glitch until after I was fully mastered, but those assassins only go up to lvl 35, so they wouldn't help you anyhow. (One point each, only sometimes? Bah.)

Thanks for making my point. No you cannot screw it up, because although its HARDER its still POSSIBLE.

What your stating is a preference from experience designed to make everything easier. Still a preference, not a requirement.
Since its not REQUIRED, and can still be finished (albeit hard) its still not messed up.

yeah the only reason i use take aim with the pistol is if i have a quest and i need to get a head start and do it quickly.

Yeah i agee with zep though i always kept my characters weapons close togeather (see "Another Noobish Question")

I will agree with Edward on what the "best" approach towards grenades specifically.

Just dont want anyone thinking they are stuck if they do veer off the norm.

When I get grenades, the next two days im usually concentrating on getting them to at least lvl20 trying to "git'er done" so to speak. hehe

Well other people have already posted but here's my advice....
Start getting them even by starting with the lowest level weapon first.
Get that up to the third highest level.

Then....
Well just get all your weapons to the highest level weapons level.
Example: Your highest level weapon is 17...get them all to level 17.

The first boss battle walk through I read here (many months ago, while the boss was broken, and not on open) required Ramming speed skill, and specifically told you to ram the bridges.

Its obviously changed, but many may be basing thier strategies on that older information.
