is explosive worth it??

[Arioch]

The ram and slam tactic is useful however the range on explosives is really short and the ramming technique is actually a sure fire way to ensure not missing the target.

However from prior experience I have noted that the reload times are so long and the fact you have to pause and make 100% sure your only good shot does not miss you could have pumped about 9 rounds of max fury into ship instead of that single round of explosives.

If you max explosives your other rounds will be that much weaker.

better to invest in MAX fire as it eats through take cover. if your gonna invest one point in a skill make it grape.

Fire is always a good investment as all ships use take cover and maxed out take cover is a full 20 seconds your rounds are ineffective.

I switch to fire the moment I see the take cover icon on a ship and the moment it appear to wear off I switch to Fury or Round shot depending on the pirate as a special mix off skills makes round shot more deadly then fury.
