It's a rogue with some spells. They get those spells, but also much less damage output than Thieves.

			Vindur Gong is a good spell - however it also frequently misses, which nerfs your overall dps significantly. A significant frustration is watching your fathomer cast and miss vindur over and over and over.

	The issue is that MANY other classes would probably be better on most runs. Especially when you consider Prestige options, a Dread Vampire or Hunter is a way more powerful/useful character than a Buccaneer. But whatever floats your boat - fattys/buccs are totally fine and you'll be able to run shit with your friends just fine if you like the overall pirate flavor here.

	Fathomers are useful on a lot of runs, though nobody is sure why you would ever use one instead of something more powerful/versatile. I've used them to clear the path to Seth (Onyx, Steps, Darkness), they're required for Inishie, and I've been using my Buccaneer as my primary quester for over a year and he kills quest mobs rather well. Overall Vindur Gong hits enough stuff to make them useful in a wide variety of places.

			Buccaneers get all the usual prestige bonuses, and 3 specific skills.

			They are better than regular Fathomers, faster and more damage output, have more hp, but not by a huge degree. By comparison, a Ranger that prestige's into a Hunter gets a huuuuge increase in damage output. Bucc's less so.

			I have no real complaints about buccaneers, but they're not very exciting. They're a bit more stout and less squishy, but not a ton.
