Just as an aside, any damage numbers are affected by way a number of skill points are used. You can magnify teh impact of grenades for instance with some caonnon points. So a variety of mixed skills can impact the damage. Alos the damage done depends on the level of enemy you are battling. The quality of weapon also magnifies the damage inflicted. I would say a better way to use skills is once you have looted a weapon you love, tailor the points to it and your personal style of combat. I have found that while 10K gold is considerable, it is well worth it to max a weapon I get that I love. I just gor the Grand Blunderbuss and I changed my skills to make it a small cannon. I can deal almost 8k in damage on some hits. Also remember that other pirates may be using weapons that increase the damage you do with your weapons.
