Seeker Vit and Dex Cap!!

XFireversalX - Raging Tide

Hey guys, iv'e recently come back from a one year (ish) hiatus, and have been looking into this Seeker class. Now I need help with the stat build. If you guys can, would you post your own vit and dex cap and provide info on why you chose to cap at that point. (This can be used as a reference for many newbies that come into the game). For me, I was thinking of caping vit at 30 and dex at around 140-- and if I felt that my HP was lacking maybe cap vit at 60. From what iv'e read, a lot of vit is necessary for lower lvls and around lvl 100 you switch to Dex build for crits and etc. Please comment on my build, thank you for your time. Cheers!

Ahh this question again....

It might help you in your journey if you read the forum a bit first.
Here's a few threads that I gleaned from a quick browse through a few pages of posts. These are links that I would click if I came to this forum searching for that specific answer, and I didn't bother to read any of the build guides previously.

The rest, my friend, is entirely up to you. In the end, it's all a matter of opinion, and your opinion should be base on how you play, how you intend to play, and what your end goal is.
Develop yours. (Not to mention that there are several guides, a few even sticky threads, that discuss this as well.)

I have a question though, I want a nice amount of HP for lower lvls and then reset for full str at endgame. What would be a good point to cap vit for lower lvl in your opinion? 60? 80?

60 vit is, like, less than 1K HP lol. Invest in better refines/shards/defense.

i used to have 180 base dex and 80 base vit but i restated to 140 base dex and 3 base vit so i can hit harder b:laugh

the only problem with 3 vit is that while our damage was boosted significantly our defenses didnt. how much will 100 str points boost your damage anyway? have you calculated that?

Here is an end-game-ish Seeker Build, with 3 vit.

Here is the same build with 100 vit.

You can see for yourself what the difference is, it's basically +2000 hp and -2000 dmg for having 100 vit. I guess it depends on your playing style, but for me, I wouldn't do it.

if we consider the attack levels, the damage difference will jump to around 4000.
however, when you pvp you'll get a 75% dmg reduction and typically the opponment will have around 50% damage reduction resulting in a difference of 1000 damage versus 2000 hp; of course the percentage of increase will remain the same.

we should also consider the part of the damage that is fixed or based on your weapon attack. for example gemini will deal 16k+5k+4.5*3k =34.5k versus 36.5k (of course I "cheated" cause gemini has a huge weapon mutliplier; most seeker skills dont).

I guess I'm just saying that your damage won't have the huge nerf some people think.

Your gear is gonna give you high vit anyhow. I got 3 vit but my gear gives me 210 in total.

Now if you can't afford vit stones, then a vit build may better. Otherwise, for me at least, its a waste of points.

that's not an argument. observe what happens when you replace vit with str:

if we accept your vit argument, there is no reason to reject my str argument.

for the record, gemini of a DoT 220vit seeker will hit harder than a gemini of a vit stone pure str seeker (and they'll have the same hp). that doens't hold true for the other skills (battousai will be 33k vs 37k assuming target has 0 def levels (the difference is reduced the more def levels the target has))
