The Dread Pirate (v.98)

Description
Ye come seeking adventure and salty old pirates, aye? Inspired by books and movies such as Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Princess Bride. This class allows you take up the title of Dread Pirate, a master of gunpowder and swordplay.

SKILLS: Skill Trees include Scourge (melee skills, utility skills, and buffs), Raider (ranged skills, debuffs, summons), and Menace (cannon and explosives skills). The class has 21 active skills and 9 passive skills. All skills have 15 point scaling, level requirements, and all active skills have tier bonuses (one passive also has tier bonuses!).

CHARACTER CREATION: You can choose any of the faces and hairstyles from the original four classes. Does your Dread Pirate sport a mow-hawk and a monocle? Well that's an option.

ITEMIZATION: The class is designed toward the use of one-handed melee weapons and gunpowder weapons (pistols, shotgonnes. and cannon). Quest rewards are tailored for the Dread Pirate, you will receive cannons, swords and pistols more than other items. The mod also includes a unique captain's hat, unique pistols that require strength instead of dexterity to wield, along with magic (blue) pirate swords with the same model as the starting weapon. If you want your Dread Pirate to be able to wear other classes armor I would take a look at mod's that remove class requirements like this one: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=147125502&searchtext=No+class+requirements.

All feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are greatly appreciated.

***Last Update 6/23/18***: Check out the change notes for details on update history. If anyone runs into any bugs or other issues, I am happy to try and get them fixed. Also, Steam will no longer allow me to display the non-steam link here: {LINK REMOVED} If you are interested in the non-steam version, just ping me.

Nice Class with the Firecannon-build, but early multiplayergame is a bit unfair in contrast with other classes because of the not available skill level cap.

Thank you very much for the reply :) I was trying out modded classes and I was confused by how easy some of them were. I am glad that you explicitly tried to stick to vanilla classes when adjusting the power.

Hope that helps explain my thoughts. If you still think it is overpowered, I am always happy to consider balance adjustments. I want the Dread Pirate to be a vanilla balanced class.

@Foundationer - To get the extra 60% dps on the dread pirate you mentioned, you need to invest in a second passive. The Corsair passive will give you 60% ranged damage (along with boosts to mele and charge), but it will limit you to only pistols and only one pistol (you need a sword in the other hand). In comparisson, the Outlander could take Akimbo to get 30% damage and 30% execute with 2 pistols or Poison Burst to add +92% poinson damage to all weapon attacks. Either of these passives will improve your ranged damage output by more than the Corsair passive, so Outlander is the better ranged pistol wielder by a fair ammount. The gap grows if you take both Akimbo and Poinson Burst or combo Poison Burst with Elemental Master. Even adding Gunpowder Specialist to the Dread Pirate won't compete because it just boosts fire damage, doesn't add bonus damage on top like Poison Burst.

@Foundationer - The Dread Pirate class is intended to be balanced against the Vanilla classes, different stregths, weaknesses and play styles, but otherwise equal in power level.

The Spyglass passive, when maxed, adds +24% crit chance, + 48% crit damage and +5 m range. The closest comparison is the "Long Range Master" outlander passive which adds 30% damage and +5 m range. Spyglass will result in more burst damage, Long Range Master is better consistent dps. They have the same ranged bonus. I though crit fit with the idea of a spyglass targetting weak spots better and I didn't want to just rename the outlander passive.

How dos the power level compare to vanilla heroes? I noticed that the passives provide you with a total of +24% crit chance, +48% crit dmg, +60% dps and +5m range, which is clearly mroe than the 5m range, 30% dps of the vanilla Outlander (not counting the Outlander's poison burst, shotgun debuffs, etc).

I would look at mods that remove class restrictions on armor because those can give you a lot of variety with custom classes. I also personally like mods that add new loot and maps/chunks to the game.

You welcome, in the other hand, any personal advice on how should I enjoy Dread Pirate like extra mods etc ?
