Hi

I have a question about Archer vs Seekers and Mystics .. I noticed wen im fighting the seeker its harder then fighting a BM or Barb .. metal attacks do not do the same amount of damage as it does on a BM or Barb.. same with the mystic. What are they weak against?

    Haven't really fought one myself, but from a logical point of view :

    Mystic - AA user - Stun > Normal attacks, kiting if needed.
    Seeker - HA user - Stun/Aim low > Thunder shock > Lightning strike.

    Tried that... it does work .. i actually needed to use Barrage to kill 1 mystic cuz nothing i did worked it was like fighting a Barb with 24k hp ...non of my skills even scratched the mystic .. and the seeker was even tougher.. a skill that deals 2k damage on a barb or bm maybe did 900 damage on the seeker ... i think the Seeker and Mystic are a bit unbalanced in the game ..

    Even my sin has problems with lvl 8x seekers and mystics and hes lvl 102 with R8 gear .. like i dont understand why they so tough .. i kill a barb and bm faster then i do a seeker or mystic

    Perhaps its the +30 def lvl? Anyway, from what I've seen on my seeker, they could be bad news for kiters.
    Whatever you do, do not fight a seeker like you would a BM! Most Seeker skills have range, and a way to close the distance if need be... Heartseekers 8sec immobility sucks on my archer :(

    That's just asking to have that debuff returned to you. b:chuckle

    I just auto attack Psys.

    I haven't gone up against a Mystic yet... However, if I see the little glowing green balls around anyone, I make sure that after they die, I look back at them every other second to make sure I can pop 'em again after they self rez. ;)

    As for seeker... I just stun then auto attack.

    vs Seekers is hard. Their animations are so flashy it makes my head hurt b:chuckle

    I'm having trouble killing a level 90 seeker due to their defense level. I think it's probably best to keep them stunned and frozen (stun&AL) so they cant get you. Demon quickshot to tick their charm then stun and spark with metal skills.
