If Buccaneers had no lasers

Who says "Eat me" to a bug?

What was that? you're alright with the idea of a revamped buccaneer? Well here you are and scarf it down before you realize it's not happening.

Hello everyone, this is just another class change-up idea for buccaneers so have at it.

So first of all:
---Had a bucc between Unlimited and RED. Made it on the wrong account so it's collecting dust in the corner. Was fun.
---I don't know anything about them really.
---So I just like coming up with class ideas because I'm a maple addict and sometimes I wish a class had a bit more oomph.
---I picked buccaneer since..., idk, they need a bit of love?
---this is just for fun.

So moving on to the jobs of the proposed buccaneer:

General stats:
---sub weapon: changed from wrist-armour to: rope. Yes rope, tie some certain peeps up and make this happen.
---main stat: Still str. Should it change? No.
---health and mana: No changes. You would love some changes wouldn't you? Yes you would. If anything, flower power.
---weapon: No changes. Eunwol don't exist, remember? the prices are rising for no reason (I am so, totally sorry Eunwol. No offense.)
---energy system: Ditched.

After thoughts: Feel free to criticize. Now that I think about it, was there anything wrong with buccs in the first place? I hear there's a glitch, but other than that, their damage looks alright. Why aren't there more of you guys out there?

*Edit* ---5/11/2014, 00:42BT--- made changes to octopunch in response to RubberDonkey's point on KMS VIPs. Working on an energy based style for buccaneers as it is more fitting.
