Depending on your pirate class IE: swashbuckler, privateer, musketeer etc etc these assassins in tumbleweed can do that much damage because they almost always double hit you and if you have good armor class youll take less damage otherwise expect to take that much. Swashbucklers avoid it alot with dodge but other classes really struggle. Hope this helps , Timid Timothy Tolliver 50 Swashbuckler
