I suggest Pirates and their combat tactics combine both melee and ranged attacks,spells and skills. Maybe even make them use both a sword and a pistol main-off hand. This type of combat system could be acquired with any of the 3 skill trees or it could be just the way pirates are. Fighting from short distance and in close-range. Also some sort of weapons and armors that are only for pirates should be a hook, a pistol and maybe a wooden leg this will fulfill the idea of pirates.

I think the wooden leg and hook can be cosmetics for the class while the pistol can be either off-hand or main-hand, heck why not dual wield pistols ?
