What is your favorite weapon?
 

We pirates have 6 different weapons, each with their own strengths and weaknesses in the game. My question, out of curiosity, is what is your favorite weapon, and why? Do you tend to use each weapon in certain situations more than others? What's your favorite, or least favorite, aspect of each weapon?

voodoo doll bc u can run in circles with out getting hit for the most part and it has life drain which is the only weapon that gives u life back

cannon becuz it helps if there r big ships

Cutlass/Voodoo they are both handy in situations =]

I love my sword, but I also like staff :)

Oh, I can't wait until staff. 20 more levels to go, I think, haha.

The dagger is my new favorite. It doubles as a gun and a cutlass. I hate the gun because you can't use it on Navy guards, so it feels half useless, yet sometimes you want to deliver that first hit from far, far away. The cutlass delivers the most damage at low levels, it seems like, so I find the dagger a happy medium. (And when you first get it, you sort of get three hits for two clicks, so that's nice.)

Of course, the doll is great too. :)

I like the doll for land, I just wish you could be like our voodoo enemies and not have to be up in their face for attunement. I mean how fair is it that gypsies and witch dr.s can attune u from across the way, yet you have to be up close? Should be a skill that you can unlock IMO.

Oh I know. I hate that. Even if you run away, they don't seem to lose attunement. It makes it unfair. You can't even shoot them from afar.

yea i know i though it might have been a passive skill but it wasnt >_< its the samething with the enemy ships broadsides

Yeah, thats another thing, how is it they get fire and lightning and fury broadsides, and we just get lead. Unfair!!!

It's also unfair that their grenades do less than 100 damage. Isn't it?

My favorite has always been the cannon. I have been a shooter from day one. So with that, I am lvl 27 with lvl 10 sailing and cannon lvl 22 lol.

I like the cannon.

Favorite cannon trick: We got a flagship EITC Sentinel, and pulled alongside to shoot the grapples. I noticed this thug at the wheel of the ship. So before firing the grapple, I took a shot at him with the regular cannonball.

Took his head clean off, first shot!

Yeah, I'm easily amused.

I use the cannon after grappling to clear the deck of the lone navy or thug. That's one less crew member I have to deal with after boarding. Cannon ball, chain ball, or grape shot all work.

Don't understand this. Grenades do tons of damage.

I love the cutlass!

He meant enemies grenades i think, like the grenadiers, who do around 24-46 dmg to me. and they dont even have animation, unless my games seriously screwed, all is see is them standing there, and im being hurt by nothing.

As for me, I like the Cutlass too.

I go cutlass crazy - my highest weapon! I also love my doll.. voodoo is fun. I would have to say my least favorite is the dagger, I really don't know why.

I just got my grenades and they are a bit confusing to me still, it seems like I'm hitting them when I'm not and their health never goes down even if it has a -220 over their heads or something. I still think they are cool though, just takes time I guess to get used to!

you'll either love grenades or hate them, and thatll never change.

Personally i dislike them myself, having a really hard time as they need to be fixed, notably the damage indicators, dont tell me im hurting something if im not, and make me waste a bunch of em only to get closer and find out theyre nice n green, ive even "hurt" myself and watched a -200 appear and my hp was fine. its not so bad later when u get demolitions, but still its a workaround for their basic underlying broken-ness.

funny as heck to see a 1550 HP veteran take a whopping 3000+ damage and stand there just fine n dandy.

you should make a thread on most disliked weapons :) as ill be sure to post mine, sorry for the off topic..

Grenaiders do about 60 damage per hit yes, thats a good thing, but thats not my fault they didnt power up their nades!!

As for the not seeing the health drop when u nade them , make sure you have the red circle around them. It wont show a decrease in health unless you have them attuned with that circle. You might be doin the damage, but wont know until they die or they get attunment.

I'm going to have to go with daggers... I love them. Just think about it for a min, what weapon were the hardest (*at the time) enemies using.. Bandits, Raiders, Assassins, and something in Tormenta...:degen: I try not to spend that much time in Tormenta, but I'm sure something threw a dagger at me..
:psmiley27: They all use daggers... If you lvl it up right the daggers can be a deadly weapon.

I like the cutlass and pistol best followed by vodoo doll and dagger. I hate the grenades. Unless you HIT the target with the grenade it doesn't do any damage. I know there are skills that supposedly increase the blast area but they're a long way off.

I've tried doing the level up trick on Kingshead but it takes forever to work.

I train my grenades on Fly Traps lol because they dont move. XD but after awhile that'll get boring, probably.

mine is prolly the cutlass, although mine is mastered i still use it just to kill high lvl enemies who i cant defeat with any of my other weapons
