Dolls:
I just find the heal and cure spell making no sense. Whats the point of having a 6k-9k cure, when pirates only have 3k LP? (heals are not split between players with most dolls that have healing boosts).

Also, the heal spell is just very inefficient, in my opinion. It has a very long cooldown, so if you need to heal someone else in a massive crowd, you have nothing left.
However, for a single target, 3k heals just restore their LP completely, and POTCO might as well give players infinite HP.

I think we should have heals as 2 second cooldown, and heals 400 HP (at max heal and doll)
Cure will heal 2500 HP (at max doll and cure), and with the same cooldown as now.

This lets players choose between giving instant heals to keep a large amount of people up, or if they have very low HP, hit a cure to get them up again.

This gets rid of the annoying "uh oh, my heals are all recharging, and this person over here is about to die"

Broadswordswords should boost the pirate's HP a little more. Being close to the enemy and often attracting tons of them, you often get more damage, compared to if you attack from far away. Also, they should do less damage then cutlass and sabre per enemy, since it can hit lots of enemies at once.

Throwing Knives: The throwing knife combo should also decrease enemy movement speed by about ~30%. Knives are meant to let players attack from far away, and they should do that.
Also, I find it funny when people throw knives at an enemy thats only 2 inches away. (since player movement is decreased when attacking, there wouldn't be any exploit of running around while slowing the enemy, so they never reach you)

Blunderbuss: Damage should be increased when you are closer to the enemy, and damage is decreased when you are farther away.

A similar thing should happen to pistols and repeaters. The further away you are, the less chance to hit. the closer you are, the more chance to hit.

Staff: Personally, I think this is one of the coolest weapons in game. Sadly, it is meant more for hitting lots of enemies at the same time, and do not do as much damage to individual enemies compared to pistols, etc. Since there are not a lot of "groups of enemies" in this game, staff has kind of been forgotten. Hopefully new staff loot will get people to use it again.

I believe you are right about broadsword's damage factor, it should be lower than Sabre's because of multiple enemies being attacked. As for the health thing, they don't need anymore help unless they have Endurance Boost.

Blunderbuss, should be lowered big time all around. Yes, should have less damage from far away, but I was thinking maybe the 800 range for longer and 1100 range for up close. It is bad to kill LaSchafe in 5 hits with a blunderbuss.

Staff, I am with you, they should keep this staff build as it is though, and make newer types of staves that can atack relatively fast on a single target, or help other pirate resist effects, cause enemies not to make your allies get stunned, be tauneted, a healer type of staff.

Throwing Knives/daggers. Honestly, I don't see why these aren't a single category. When you get up close it should act as Bayonet but do the dagger combo, and like when shooting a bayonet, you should do the throwing combo from farther away.

I can also see where you would want to make dagger attacks reduce enemy speed. But here is the thing, POTCO has it set up so your character has to get hit once every few seconds or so. Even when running with a doll, you can get hit because your enemy is able to have an incredible speed boost to catch up with you. Sad but true, POTCO, would rather have enemies attack weak players using a doll than change the enemies to run at our speed and have it so they can get slower.
