What is your Sailing Build?

[David]

why not just max out a 5/5 for treasure sense? once sailing is mastered wont it just be a skills to get fast cash?

i think in the end, once you have mastered the skill...you have at least maxed left broadside, right broadside, and treasure sense

With the two pirates that i have advanced a bit, I found that treasure sense although it seemed very cool/helpful with my first pirate, i didnt bother with my second. As a pirate advances to higher levels, gets higher level weapons, etc, obtaining gold was never a problem for me.

I put 5 skill points on treasure sense with my first pirate, and it helped me get gold quick, it also made me popular, everyone wanted on my ship. But on my second pirate, I have only 1 skill point on it, and with 2 war galleons, a war frigate, all the advanced weapons, etc, I still have 60k+ banked.

Take cover has worked wonderfully for me for both of my pirates (1 had 1 skillpoint, the other had 2), although ive made some observations.
1. It does not give you 100% protection (i think this is what most expect).
2. If you anticipate incoming fire, and hit Take Cover, it will be most effective. If you wait until incoming fire is on its way, it will be far less effective. It can also be helpful in the boss battle.

Im curious to know how much effect windcatcher, tacking, and tackmaster have on things if they are maxed.

How to use all the skill points has always been an enigma to me, I actually now use them only as I wish. I have unused skill points on nearly everything, I found it helped with REP values in many cases.
