I wanna be a pirate for Halloween

Recommended Posts

So yeah, Halloween is around the corner, and this year I want to ToT as a pirate.  What AT/combo best lends itself to portraying a person who employs swashbuckling in their pursuit of booty?

Anything you can have, we have it.  Even got a devil in the attic.

I did a DB/dark at one point. I think DB has some good choices for weapon customization.

For primaries i think Broadsword, Dual Blades and Dual Pistols with the right weapon choice fit the bill. As for secondary that would be totally up to you, but if you want to go for a clean look then something like Willpower or Invulnerability keeps your costume clearly visible at all times.

I had a thought for such a character knocking around for a bit too... was thinking isn't there a Blaster secondary that gives you a sword attack or two?  Go that rout with D.Pistols probably.

I have a Broadsword/Willpower Scrapper named Shellback Sara.  You can stretch the pirate looking female bit with a lot of the Gunslinger and steampunk pieces and tattoos.  I will screen shot an edit when I get home.

My suggestion would be to do what I did with my Dark Lord of the Sith Electric Blast/Ninjitsu Blaster:

 

Use the individual arm and individual leg option to give your Pirate four peg-limbs.  Maybe make him a Street Justice/Willpower melee to.. er.. boot

DP Ninjitsu Blaster perhaps.

This would give you guns and a  sword.  Alternatively, if you wanted to be a little tougher, you could go with a dual pistols/something/ninja tool mastery sentinel to also get guns and a sword.
