I like BM for Sutra, Bell and Marrows (versatile), and they are needed in FCC because of HF and stun. BUT 5aps and having to buy 2 weapons scare me away. :s

I love the fact Seekers don't have to be / can't be 5aps. I'm a huge fan of magic classes and want to play a melee this time and I love the skillspammer nature of the Seeker. xD What are Seekers like in PVE compared to BM? Are they squishier? Are they needed in FCC? x.x What about soloing 'normal' quests? (I do NOT want to power lvl).

I am not a cash shopper, I occasionally buy 10 gold, but that's all I can afford (I live in a poor country). Which class is better with average gear (TT, Legendary) and medium refines? PVE ONLY!!! I don't care if I'm not needed for Nirvana, I have my Cleric for that... Just want to make a melee alt for the lulz. Thanks in advance. :D

    imo i'd say bms r more resilient than seekers, but seekers have added magic to their attacks and have a tele stun which can be really reliable im sure. i'd say play both up to lvl 59 and see what u think.
    Do you hate me? Good, that makes for an adequate conversation starter.

    Trust me, make a seeker. Noone will blame u if u don't have -int gear. And since u don't care about nirvana on your melee alt, seeker is what u want. With him at lvl 100+ you can still run BHs and Delta squads. In FC, they are welcome since they can both pull and AoE DD b:thanks
    Hope to have been useful ^^

    i can't say much about BMs since mine barely got above level 20, but i do love my seeker. i play the class strictly PvE and i level by doing quests, much like you say you want to do. i would not call my seeker squishy at all; what with long-lasting self buffs that add defense levels, heavy armor, and plenty of str, i don't need very much vit added at all.

    I would prefer BM's because they have got a lot of skills and you can switch which one you like. I have a lvl101 BM on a different server and I use dual swords. really great second fastest tacking style
