StoryEdit

Piracy, an utopic lifestyle for many and you are part of it! As one of Dr. Lapidis' or Gillijim's crew-members you begin your training as Buccaneer on the respective island. In a terrible seabattle between the two pirates your ship sinks and you wake up on a shore. Having forgot who, but not what you are, a young goblin finds you and send you to see your nation's leader to join it in battle!

• Choice between two starting-zones (Gillijim's Isle or Island of Doctor Lapidis)

OverviewEdit

Some of the Buccaneer's Stats:

• Armor: Cloth, Leather and Mail
• Weapons: One-handed swords, two-handed swords, one-handed axes, one-handed maces, bows, crossbows, and guns
• Attributes: Agility, Stamina, Strength and Spirit
• Talent Trees: Piracy (Range-DD), Mutiny (Melee-DD) and perseverance (Supporter)

Power ResourcesEdit

The Buccaneer uses Energy as main power resource.

His "speciality" are what i call "Regeneration-Arrows" (RA)(a more appropiate name has still to be found). The arrows regulate the Buccaneer's Energy-regeneration, but they can be used differnently as well, they serve as instantanious Energy-Ressource (like Thistle Tea) and are similar to the Death knight's runes, as a ressource for powerfull attacks.

Inactive Arrow	Arrow's Cooldown	Arrows beeing inactive	Regeneration Rate
None	/	0	2 e/s
Red	32 sec	1	1 e/s
Dark Orange	16 sec	2	0.75 e/s
Orange	8 sec	3	0.5 e/s
Yellow	4 sec	4	0.25 e/s
Green	2 sec	5 (all of them)	0 e/s

The arrow's color plays no special role, but every arrow has it's own Cool-Down.

Talents and AbilitiesEdit

Piracy is the Range-DD Specialisation, similar to a hunter only without his pet, he also has several abilities to keep his enemys away.

The Mutiny-Buccaneer is the Melee-DD Specialisation, it is a hybrid between rogue and warrior, striking fast and strongly.

The Perseverance-Buccaneer is a Supporter and Healer, he has powerfull buffs and debuffs, he also has a few weak herbal/alchemist-heals.

PiracyEdit

• Lead Shot (15 Energy): The Pirate shoots his victim causing X damage and the same amount over 10 seconds.
• Wave Bomb (20 Energy): You throw a bomb that kicks back everyone in the area (even yourself if you're in it) for 5 yards and additionally knoks everyone but you out for 2 seconds.

MutinyEdit

• Scimitar (15 Energy): Hits the enemy causing him to bleed (X damge every 3 seconds for 15), if the enemy is hit while the bleeding effect still affects him he will suffer the already lost damage instantly.
• Scrape (20 Energy): The enemy starts to bleed losing X HP over 10 seconds.
• Acid (35 Energy): For every bleeding effect on the target, Acid inflicts X damage.

PerseveranceEdit

• Parley (20 Energy): The targeted enemy and his nearby groupmembers cann't attac you for 3 seconds.
• Refreshing Mixture (5 Energy): The Buccaneer gives his target a refreshing herbal mixture wich restores X HP, at first slowly, than faster and a the end of the effect slowly again.

NoticeEdit

I know that Buccaneers are not very likely to be healers, but as the Death knights also have tanking abilities, the new HeroClass should have healing abilities, i have thought, while doing this, of another class that could fit the "Great Sea" environment: the Monk.
