BattleshipCannon Vs Demolition

This is incredibly true.

In all reality, Fist is only a bit weaker than demolition; probably 20k difference or so. Pretty much...if you have 6 vipers in a party...14 mins of godmode. I know this probably wouldn't be a situation at Zak/HT, but come on, you seriously can't say that 14 minutes of Demoing would put a pirate at the level of a Paladin...

These thoughts are very true. If you use Fist correctly (assuming it attacks every 2 seconds like demo), your DPS shouldn't go too far. For 2 min it will be incredible damage, meaning 400%x8 which equals to 3200%. This happens every 2 seconds. So, in 2 min, you acheive (asuming you don't get hit often) 192,000%, 96,000% a minute.
Fist is 230%x6, meaning 1380%. 1380% damage per hit, 60 hits, in the 2 minute cool-down is 82,800%, or 41,400% a minute. The average % a minute for Buccaneers, therefore, is [96,000%+41,400%]/2, meaning 68,700%.

So, the average percentage a minute is 68,700%. No way close to that of a shadower.
