    I think that Seekers are simply too new to tell what will happen! There are so many directions you can go with them. Like when all BMs used to be VIT happy axe builds, and now the majority went to interval. Or TW cata pullers going hybrid sapph/VIT shard instead of pure HP. The game evolves, the best tactics are narrowed down after months of experimentation. Seekers will find their niche.

    The biggest bonus over BMs I see for the Seeker thus far is the boost to a high level party. The buffs, debuffs, and support skills seem great so far!

    I agree but its fun to speculate ^_^

    Personally I think the biggest boon seekers have is the sheer range they have over Blademasters barbs and sins... well Bm's and barbs moreso.

    I'm personally wondering if Seeker monster debuffs work on Nirvana bosses, because if they do, they're going to not only carve a niche for themselves, but other classes as well to be and feel more useful.
    Good intentions are like peeing yourself in dark leather pants, you get warm feelings inside, but it doesn't show.

    Agreed that LA is useless. Besides with the str you need to use blades might as well go HA. However, for a few situational uses I can see a few mp shards MAYBE being useful. Obviously since the mp drain on the aoe is ridiculous the only real practical uses I can see for the sustained AoE are in an RB with mp auras. Using an arcane helm, much like archers do occasionally in the Gamma range to keep up barrage, with the helm having an additional + mp stat and a few mp gems might be enough to make it sustainable. Since apparently it works with bp a seeker with his +30 def levels doing more aoe damage than a wiz while also self healing massive amounts from bp might be a valuable member of a squad.

    agreed, i had a tt80 arcane hat with 4 mp shards to keep barrage up in my gamma times, it was usefull b:laugh

    Cant a seeker ya know.. attack from stun? Doesnt that automatically give them a small edge in pvp? Cant a seeker get 2 attacks per a single skill use? Dont most of a seekers skill have insane amounts of damage dealt per hit?


    I think a seeker may get some serious use out of runecrafting for a balancing act, but honestly I dont see many needs for balancing outside of an anti stun. I know Quid Pro Quo transfers negative status, can it be used while stunned to in turn, stun your enemy? (wishful thinking probably not :\ )

    Nope. Stun is stun.

    Doesn't work when stunned. Or things that disable you from using skills.

    Imobile status transfers though, and from what I read, demon seekers can steal buffs. Does this include spark, stealth, antistun effect?

    I've read that they can steal soulburn from a psychic. If they can take that, I dont see why they cant take the others.

    Because giving your stunned status to someone else is . . well you know . .
    Defeating your enemies purpose of stunning you. (b:sin)
    About stealing buff we might have to wait until the demon sage come, though it's confirmed that demon steal 1 buff. But don't know it's random or the newest one.

    If its newest one, and steals spark status... o.o

    thats the ultimate *** you that you could do on ANYONE. again... probably wishful thinking, and will get a lot of QQ threads if its true.

    Immobilise should transfer. As for the demon/sage skills, I wouldn't bet your bottom dollar on it. PWE has a way of **** it's community over.
