Two new pirate careers coming to Pirates of the Burning Sea

Filed under: Historical, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Classes, Patches

The folks at Flying Lab have sent word that two brand new Pirate careers will soon be sailing along in Pirates of the Burning Sea. The Cutthroat and the Buccaneer are to be the nom de plumes of our swabbie friends. The Cutthroat should be familiar - it's the class you've been playing as a pirate all along. On the other hand, the Buccaneer is a brand new bag: a gentleman adventurer with a taste for the high life on the high seas. We've already talked a bit about the class changes coming in patch 1.4, but these new details throw more light on the update's intention.

Buccaneers are intended to be a support class. They offer buffs to allies and debuffs to opponents, all while laying out their own special brand of derring-do. Full details can be seen on the most recent version of the patch notes, but don't believe everything on that list. The patch still isn't set in stone.
