While I agree that some of the skills aren't of much benefit, I disagree with your idea that Wind Catcher is "stupid." I also have 5 skill pts on wind catcher and prefer to be able to get around the sea more quickly than to be able to do some other things. If you'd rather be able to use "Open Fire" and have the ships you're sinking go down a little more quickly (but for fewer experience points, Im guessing) then that is your preferance, etc. It's all a matter of opinion, preferance and playing/sailing style.

Exactly. I don't think putting down others decisions is very wise. We all have differences in how we play the game. I have 4 in windcatcher

[Shhlatkinz]

I was debating whether to put 5 skill points on windcatcher, or 5 points on taskmaster.

My reasoning for choosing taskmaster if because on my maxed pirate, I thought the only time I would really use my ship is to help others kill ships.

Also, whenever I sail to get to a destination I usually use my light sloop that's lightning quick, especially with 3 points on Full Sail and one on Ramming Speed. Usually when I sail with my light sloop I get to my desination extremely quick, and most of the time I don't sink. Even if I need to pass by some phantoms or war ships, I usually make it by using Ramming Speed is soon as they shoot at you. Of course, Plundering Mommy knows sometimes I don't make it alive also

IF the boss battle EVER comes back up, from what I've read, the only way to take it down is with Ramming Speed. Most folks said they had three skill points on it. This may however be useless, depending on what changes they're making to the battle before it comes back on, but even if they change the Boss Battle, ramming speed is really nice for a quick getaway, or a quick way to get to a ship you want to take down. I'd put the rest into treasure sense and wind catcher. But that's just me... Fast and Rich...not bad for a pirate

Hoist the Colors!

Not quite right Ramming speed does help it along, but it wasn't the only way to take down Goliath. Each time I went through it, we went to the back of the ship and shot at a couple of spots that we could damage. Since we were sitting in back of Goliath sideways (cannot sit with your front to the back of it), we couldn't use ramming speed.

i got 1 on open fire i dont find it useless

[Chris]

hmm i would definatly puy 5 on treasure and at least 4 on both broads

[quill_fire]

I have one on open fire. I find it useful when I find myself in a spot where large ships are spawning all around me and I need my crew to sink the ships quickly. I see a big change in the damage their cannons do while my broadsides recharge.

Thanks Rose, good to know. That is if the boss battle is still the same after they "FIX" it. LOL
