[Suggestion] Duelist Class - Consider Pirate Ascendancy

Jonathan mentioned it would be criminal to release PoE2 without swords in 1.0. As Swords belong to unannounced Duelist class, it would be cool to see GGG add a Pirate Ascendancy.

The Pirate could have a trusty Parrot Companion marking "High Value Targets," dual-weapon synergy of Swords & Crossbows, Plunder corpses for additional gold, Gambling perks, Sea Legs where you're immune to slowing effects, etc.

I like it, and to balance out the gambling bonuses a penalty to base int/str and lower poison(chaos) resistance on account of the syphilis and scurvy.
I think this is a great idea for a skin.

Also a vampire slayer skin for mercenary would be cool.



The skins are too expensive though, its crazy x)

Haha, very thematic indeed for a pirate.

If it was a skin they could make sipping from flask like eating an orange, similar to Gangplank, but that would be too similar of a knock off. After all GGGs step sister is League of Legends
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

GGG could even add a "Peg Leg MTX" for the Pirate! I'm sure it would sell quite well.

Agreed, think a pirate ascendancy would be a great addition to the game and would have a very unique flavor.

C'mon Jonathan, please consider the pirate!
Now that we know the Duelist class will probably be released in 1.0, maybe GGG would consider a Pirate Ascendancy.
