    while shade falls under the pirate class equipment wise, he's technically a soul bender.

    Honestly though, Shade seems more like the Shaman King than a pirate. haha
    and if I'm being completely honest, I don't really thing pirate even fit in maple anyway.
    They don't. The game was designed around 4 class archetypes, and pirates were never fully developed as an independent archetype (even though when they were introduced they were more unique than they are now). They were just some good parts of other job archetypes mashed together with a shiny new mechanic

    they do fit in maplestory period...
    pirates were never "unique" to begin with {sadly} unless being a mix of the previous classes counts at least for the first job advancement
    even after the massive changes pirates ended up losing a most of the "shiny" things thats for sure

    @PhoenixKumo - I don't know who that is, and I've played all of the heroes. Are you sure you aren't making him up?
    No, I'm not making him up. Y'know he's that one guy who um... wait. Who're we talking about again?

    Maybe that's why I was never really interested in the pirates from the get-go. They're a mashup of a lot of things that already existed.
