Help! Can't find the OP!

[NC Pirate]

** Disclaimer**
I’m not looking for an easy win every time, I just want to understand, learn, and hopefully increase my success rate.

Ok so I basically alternate between a PR and Buc with each map flip comparing the skills of each and for the life of me I can't find the "OP" in the Bucc. I've read countless posts about how they are so "OP in a CB", "too much res", "easy to play", "pic any ship and click your buffs and win", and so on. Well I must be doing something wrong because I just can't win with a Bucc. Yes I mostly loose to demasting, but I think that’s mostly due to the res hype because I have also lost several broadside battles that I should have won with my magical OPness.

The PR on the other hand I find far easier to play. The unpredictably line is a no brainer. The PR seems a lot more like a click and win then a Bucc. Also I’ve fought Buccs as a PR and yes I have witnessed a few that possess this magical OPness. Perhaps the legends have spawned from likes of these select few. I have yet to harness the powers of the force. If you are willing to share the ways of the OP and don’t want to post here, please pm me. Thanks.
