You, at least, have not given up and are trying to think out a strategy. Not every Buckler has the Moo Robes.
I will admit that the majority do fog, shroud then strike ( because it has worked for them ).

At higher ranks not only swashbucklers have moo robes, EVERYONE has moo robes (except me)

swashbuckler They don't have nearly enough armor or buffs .. As the rest of the characters do, so it's a bit unfair... They need to either make the Swashbucklers stronger or give them more and/or better items to help in pvp !!

You clearly have no experience in PvP as swashbucklers are the top class atm alongside with musketeer

no bucks are easily the best, then again majority of bucks honestly dont know how to play their class and use the same generic easily counterable strategy

Buccaneers would be around 3d best, Swashbuckler and musketeer are better

no.........

Quick question, have you ever done ranked pvp? if so how many matches have you done and what rank are you? because buccaneer being the best is a lie, we are good but not the "best"

Uh buddy, turn the tide 2 increases accuracy by 25%. Elusive 3 increases dodge by 50%. The buckler gets the better deal. Plus bucklers have more dodge with class specific clothing than buccaneers have accuracy. Even if both sides bring El Toro, the buckler gets the better deal because the 25% dodge is taken from a higher base dodge of the buckler whereas the 25% accuracy increase is taken from the lower base accuracy of the bucc.

If you're getting hit by a bucc it's because of their strength based sneak attacks, not their regular hits.

Well if you read what I said you would see I said pirate witch gives you plus 50% ack and then tide + 25% you get more ack then the buckler gets dodge.

Right but that doesn't matter because then you guys go into elusive and landing a hit on your from that point on is impossible unless it's a power

ask around the brawl hall for reckless Christopher, he can show you how easily a buck can beat a swashbuckler, and btw its not with buck companions

I know who reckless Christopher is, I've faced him in a match, I actually almost beat him, this strategy requires companions you have to pay for, and a swashbuckler banner which is 12k scrip, I'm talking about the average buccaneer here

A buck with no ack gear would get around 240 ack while a buckler would get around 200-190 dodge so you would still have more ack.

Masonpeev on Aug 30, 2015 wrote:

240? no way

I agree here. Most bucc gear doesn't give accuracy stats, so usually we have 110. Pirate 3 gives 55, turn the tide 2 gives another 28 for a total of 193. A buckler on the other hand with 160 dodge gets 240 dodge with elusive three. And bucklers can get more dodge than that. Add espirit for 40 more dodge and you're close to breaking three hundred.

Tier List this meta
-Easily proven-
1. Buccaneers no doubt.... The chains the Chains you cannot beat a good Buccaneer w/ Moo Robe and even without it they're OP
2. Musketeers they can counter every class and Buccaneers even the best... Obviously Nausica is the reason they're bumped down here because you have to A: give up a gun to avoid nausica chains B: focus her down 1st regardless of who you're facing and Black Fog Nausica HURTS
3. Swashbucklers because of Fog they can apply a lot of pressure quickly but any good player can easily beat one w/ barricade strats and multiple back-up plans
4. Privateer because they can just make it so you'll hit absolutely nothing but other then support w/ summons they have nothing to offer.... They have the easiest time countering R1 summons as they can drop bombs on them as soon as they're summoned
5. Witch the class with the least support to offer and are the most highly maintenance IG atm. If you don't have pvp experience or even any on Witch you WILL NOT get to Champion....

I agree buccaneers are high up on the list but they are not #1, the chains don't matter when your opponent dodges everyone of them and returns it back with a 300-600 damage riposte which leads into a vengeance leading into another riposte, vs other classes yes buccaneer is very good, and a buccaneer CAN defeat a swashbuckler but their poisons go through our armor so we're forced to use a fortress, and they can easily take out 2 members of our crew with black fog, not to mention them being able to do 1000-1300 damage while staying hidden using poisons and not allowing us to heal

There's no basic math involved, we go into the match with 110 accuracy, then the swashbuckler has anywhere between 140-160 dodge, sure when we get into tide we can start landing some hits on you, but once you're in elusive you're untouchable

Hmmm, I feel 160 is rather low, There are so many ways a buckler can boost it. Yet, why do Buccaneers get chain hits on me even with my awesome dodge? ( its over 200 and that's all I'm saying. )
+37 to dodge with the champion weapon? WOW!
