    Alongside all the gear listed, you would have to spam OHT swords till you get one with the -0.05 int unique addon. (I cannot think of any sword that has -int as a set stat, but I don't know many swords anyway.) That puts you at a base of 1.82 and 2.5 if demon sparked.

    EDIT: Apparently the recasted r8 sword can get - 0.05 int as a stat. That would be way better dps than the OHT one :<

    It is possible for a seeker to be 5aps (without even playing around with LA gears), but in no shape way or form is it inexpensive. Also its not recommended mostly because of the costs involved.

    In general though seekers can solo FC quite easily anyway vortex is very nice DPS and with bp can keep your hp at a respectable level for the majority of a run, you suffer small issues on bosses which means you will tick occasionally but not alot each run.

    Speedwise you will generally be slower but safer than an equal level sin (he will clear bosses way faster but unless he has good armor and weapons pulls are harder for him so he will generally just APS the mobs or bypass them)

    EDIT: the rank8 recast boots also have the possibilty of up to 3x interval on them what you do is switch the 99 boots with rank8 recast (2 int adds or better) and get cube neck + 99 heavy belt instead of the above calc its -0.05 faster than the build people post in the calc and its all HA with an elemental neck with HP% so you look less fail

    Well to solo FC @ lvl 99+ would take about an hour/hour and a half with a modest gear setup similar to my link.

    BUT All the suggestions of recast r8...are far from cheap lol
    Plus the % for just one -0.5 int is so hard...I'm still holding out hope for some extra int on my sin's gear thoughb:dirty

    Well, you used a -chan cape instead of -int.

    Using wrists/boots, Nirvana pants, tome, and an OHT sword with -int, you'd be 2.0 base.

    In the end, it's not really worth it to get to 3.33 on Seeker from the cost. If you want APS, roll a BM, Sin, or Archer.

    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    5.0 Seeker is only good for farming. For pvp Seekers are better off using skills since they don't have many control skills. So the question is: Are seekers willing to spend $XXX to get 5.0 only to farm their butt off in order to get those money back? b:bye

    For obvious reasons Fuzzy is placing this thread in the seeker sub-section.
