The pirate with the most funding...
Hp and defense (dmg reduction) depends of funding (my jett has 92k~ hp buffed, will be over 100k. I didn't hp wash in the past).

As for dodging attacks, I vote for jetts. I have played all pirate classes and revamped jetts are just dodging god if you got good controls.

I guess each pirate has their pros and cons against certain bosses? I think any pirate class can have good survivability if the person playing it has great control. But taking what the requirements are to be considered the best imo I would say Shades atm.

Understandable, but I'd say survivability applies mostly to bosses, and for Buccaneers, you'll rarely be using Buccaneer Blast to boss. Even if you were, Buccaneer Blast is mainly useful if you're supercharged, and the range is lowered significantly once you're not supercharged anymore. However, Buccaneers do boss pretty well thanks to the passive that they have called Typhoon Crush, which has a 40% chance to ignore 100% defense of the boss, which is literally impossible for any other class to achieve. Besides, I'd say Buccaneer Blast is just too slow to use against any boss that requires a great amount of survivability.

@hamdeamon sooo you're saying Shade sucks because you thought it was boring?

Not true, doesn't works on RA bosses

[quote=Powerbomb]Is defense reduction multiplicative or additive? Someone should really check this out on KMS - if Buccs can get a chance to avoid all damage, it'd be a godsend.[/quote]

In the patch approx 4 months from now: 25% chance to avoid 70% is added to Bucc's revenge (so that's like a 25% dodge rate with the other buffs )

[quote=RubberDonkey]Buccs with zero's link after their buff can block 100% damage right? Assuming they can keep revenge up? 20% admiral+70% revenge+ zero's link= 100%[/quote]

@SilverFoxR: Shade still sucks. Most boring pirate I've ever played, I did get my shade to a 1m range and was bored out of mine.

In 6 months, Mechs via revamp XD (auto homing bossing skill, loads more hp, 50% dodge, 60% damage reduction, a copy of wind walk, auto healing summon, and portals) and before anyone makes a "wide hitbox" comment, the hitbox is reduced in the patch in 6 months.

Range? What? If you're talking about Buccaneer Blast, I sincerely hope you're not using that skill to boss with. In terms of DPS, Octopunch would be your best bet, and range is out of the question if you're using Octopunch.

[quote=hamdeamon]LOL WHAT?
Cannons are the EASIEST pirate to get cap def with. Stop talking out your arse please.[/quote]

Shade still has damage reduction, high evasion abilities and has a skill built-in to save from death.

[quote=BRSlove]Mechanics in latest kms update got revamped and have like 60% damage reduction and a bunch of max hp increase skills.[/quote]

Oh wow. I didn't realize Mechs were getting 60% dmg reduction, i just read all the attacks... I think im going to make a mechanic then, I've always wanted one anyways.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody!

Oh yeah. Binding Gollux and RA bosses. Shade can totes do that.

No but really. It's hard to laugh because their capabilities are honestly ridiculous.

[quote=AnthonysWill]Shade has the best survivability out of all of the pirates:
+Passive 30% damage reduction AND 100% stance.
+Self-Revive every 5 min.
+1% HP Drain per attack when hitting mobs.
+High HP
+[b]BACKSTEP[/b] can be used to avoid attacks even while attacking.
+Lv 170 Hyper makes you invincible for 7~8 seconds, You can also backstep or fox trot out of it to negate the end-delay of it.
+Is not a sitting duck when casting Maple Warrior (No-Delay Maple Warrior)
+Besides Decent Skills, Shade has absolutely no buffs, everything is passive.
+Can drain HP every minute using Death Mark on bosses that survive it.
+Decent Status/Elemental Resist (40% Passive. Very few pirates have more than this amount or they are equal to it.)[/quote]

[quote=xEternalYoshix]@ZombieZerps Haha You made me blow air out of my nose.

Between Mechs, Jetts, and Cannoneer, Which would save me the most pots?[/quote]

Have them all, I'd say Cannoneer.
Mech has an enormous hit box and for a character in a tank, it isn't tanky at all unless you roll a 2.
Jett has a low HP recovery skill that somehow helps reducing the pot burn but the skills range is average.
Cannoneer has better movility IMO of them all and also longer skill range which helps staying away from the damage.
