Whats better some vit or full str?

Odinna - Dreamweaver

Hello!

I need some advice, whats better vit build or full attack build (pure str one)?
Will have the G16 gear + weapon and refines +5 just for farming and some fun arround NW.

I read some guides and they just say what the builds are but don't go deep on the pros and cons of them.

Thank you so much for your help!

I don't see any reason to go much over 60 vit under any circumstances. If your adding vit add it early as at low levels the extra HP makes a bigger difference.

My advice is to add vit and keep it until refines on endgame gear get your HP over 10k. I have 9K HP at level 101 and just today I finished tanking a TT boss with just 450 HP at the end after the aoe killed the cleric. Without my 65 vit I clearly would have been dead. For what people want seekers to do in PVE and making it in PVP seekers need survivability. Until you can get that with refines add vit. When refines are high enough its time to join the dex vs str debate.

Vitality Build: You will get quite a HP boost with this build, meaning in farming or NW(PvP) you will have a slight edge in being able to survive due to your higher HP pool. The thing about PvP nowadays is that many of the killing hits come down to spike damage, crits or the occasional god of frenzy hit. So yes this build has it's perks.

The downside though is that your damage will be slightly gimped. So with your increased survivability your damage will be much lower. This is of course assuming your planning to stat enough vit that the return you will see in your tanking increases by a good amount.
Here is an example of a Vit build

Strength Build:As this build suggests, you will have much higher damage range than the vitality build. As I stated above, since PvP appears to be really what you aiming for, this build actually might be more appealing to you due to the fact again, a lot of PvP kills against well geared players will come down to Spike Damage,Crits and god of frenzy(which of course with s3 Nirv you wont have). Your physical defense also will be a little better with this build so when you use some magical defense ornaments, the defense drop is not as high.

The problem with this build though is your HP will suffer and your ability to avoid getting 1 hit by the occasional arcane goes down. But your HP can be made up if you shard HP shards or Vit stones+refines near end game to make back up some of the loss.
Here is an example of a STR build with HP shards to make up life loss.

Now in my personal opinion I would do and did a strength build. Reason being is because the damage loss you suffer from a vit build is not really worth the small increase in survivability at end game.

When you are starting out I would say at least have 60 vit so you are ok to tank lower level things if you do not have gear to stash around, then later on just reset that vit into strength.

As I said above, you can easily make up most of your HP with refines or shards near end game. And since in PvP you will be needing the damage especially nowadays, STR build shines most for my personal taste.

Now my seeker is not 100 yet but he wil be using my barbs gear(which shards and refines are incomplete) when he gets there and my seeker will look something like this.My Build Now personally I will be making Autumn Crescent. Although the damage is lower I made my seeker purely for funb:cute.

I hope I helped .

PS:I forgot to include Blade/Sword mastery in my examples but I am sure you get the idea xP.

I'm thinking about the same thing, but how about a pure vit seeker.

I discussed this with my friend and I difference between pure vit seeker and pure str seeker is: pure vit gives more than 3k for hp and over 1.5k increase in M. defense for the cost of like 2-3k in max attack.

Considering a r9 seeker sword, pure vit seeker would depend on zerk critis dealing 4x damage.

You get that much more magic defense? The HP alone doesn't seem to justify it for endgame but with that much mag def it might work.
