How can a wizard go about such a fight with a broken class? Can you guys give me some pointers on how to beat them efficiently? ty.
Do you hate me? Good, that makes for an adequate conversation starter.

    How are seekers broken? Can you specify what is bothering/killing you the most when you fight against them?

    Seekers aren't really OP. It's just that there are no great wizards left on HL anymore.

    Seekers aren't OP.

    I heard this early on in the game as my first toon was a wiz:

    "the devs hate wiz's"

    I heard that it's a whole new dev team, but I still believe the above to be true.

    My sage wiz can tank all BH100's, but as far as PvE goes: it's still a mega joke compared to the 7 other classes I play. I believe it was in it's 70's when I decided to level it just for Bh100.

    That said: I'd take a random wiz over a random sin for any BH100, and a random wiz over a random Psy for BH metal or lunar. I have 2 Assassins; but they can at least tank BH metal rather than be the typical sin that dies and squad members actually wait for. *Barbs can be partly blamed for that at times because they don't devour ("Reduce target's Attck Level by 15 for 4 seconds" + "Reduces enemy's physical defense by 50% for 10 seconds" (improves BP heals)). Assassins also tend to be derp heads and work against the squad by helping some bosses recover HP.

    So; I'm very much inclined to take wizards in on BH100 runs, but frustrated at playing one because it; unlike Seekers doesn't get BP. It doesn't benefit from HA gear. Seekers are also more preferable for their debuffs, and lack of dependence on healers (and the majority of healers lately is fail).

    Seekers can be pretty scary to be fair.. the debuff combo followed by a zc can one shot me (assuming equally geared seeker), although we still hit them for quite a bit with spark combos, so it all works out :)

    this

    No self mag def buff leaves them insanely vulnerable to mag debuffs

    With their 100 CD skill/disarm they gain enough CC to actually use their own WTFBBQ combo's effectively though so its almost an even fight.

    I fought a seeker yesterday I used ice prison to start off with, ran towards them then use essential sutra followed with "spark" with pyrogram.

    I have r9.3 almost all +10.

    When each class can 1 shot the other, it comes down to who has better controls and get their skills off first. Banzai for r9rr
