Archers and sins have critical shots. Archers and sins have a skill giving them unlimited ammo. Why don't pirates have these?

Because nobody likes pirates.

because pirates are strong enoug has is (regarding critical). have you seen the damage output of corsairs? In addition, bullets are in sets of like 2200 i think. stars are less than that. Archers dont use arrows, but the also do not get an attack boost from arrows. The gunners could hope for is a skill like night lords soul star (or w/e its called) but again, 2200 bullets vs like 1200 stars or soemthing like that per set

Corsairs also spit out high damage as it is with BSC they dont need anymore power plus they can just get SE from a BM if they need criticals

Because 20 sets of bullets should last you long enough for anything

Because we don't want to rely on crits and we have too much ammo as it is.

If you give cosairs imo that would unbalance the game. (SE doesn't count, if you don't have any initial critical skill, I don't think it helps much. xD.)

If ur saying that shouldnt cb and shadower get critical wid assulter and bs?

No crit because they would be overpowered. No Unl Ammo because lvl90 bullet got 2800bullet(max mastery) in 1 set and we don't use Shadow Partner/Hurricane.(I know we have RF, but it's not our main att)

DarkQuill said: " I heard this was changed in the recent skill update?" no, it's a client-side glitch that looks like you get the damage increase but in reality you don't I think in the pirate misconceptions thread in the stickies it directly answers why no unlimited bullets and indirectly why no criticals. Basically they carry way too many bullets compared to stars and don't use rapid fire as a main attack and they get elemental attacks and high % attacks to not have to rely on criticals (criticals aren't that great it makes you less able to reliably knock back monsters)

DarkQuill said: " I heard this was changed in the recent skill update?" it hasnt been changed, theres a thread somewhere about it, but archers STILL dont get the arrow attack bonus when soul arrow is on, personally, i think it makes a lot of sense... On Topic: Assassins can throw a star with slightly ore force, and a bowman can pull their bowstring back slightly farther, but a gun will always shoot with the same power unless you change it somehow. That's why they don't have critical, its unrealistic.

DarkQuill said: " I heard this was changed in the recent skill update?" No. It's only server sided. You see your damage as let's say 10,000. Everyone else in the game, including the monster, will see 9,000 damage. (If you're using an attack arrow with SA.) So let's say said monster only needs 10,000 damage to die, you're going to sit there and wonder why it isn't dead. This is why. Only you see the upgraded damage. Nobody else does. Monsters don't even register the numbers you see.
