Seekers in PvP

u cant really give this question a fair answer cuz ppl always compare it to something else.
persenolly the class is only as good in pvp as u are with the class. if ur pro with the seeker u can be pro at pking to. simple as that

I tend to have issues with light armor because, although we have fairly strong attacks in both phys/mag damage, we don't really have and good nukes. Meaning if you adjust your playstyle to combat either arcane or heavy, you'll be fairly effective, however against balanced defenses (even though la blows) it's slightly more difficult to bypass a charm.

Id say at pvp heartseeker will be our standard skill for every situation.
Against arcanes, use heartseeker to keep them in place so u can try and kill from short range.

Against heavy armors, hearseeker to keep them away... i dont think we will survive more than a barb/bm in a melee situation... while theyr are frozen at range, pull ion/battousai/gemini combos...


Against Sins, we will be food.... just like everyone else


Which they could just remove those sins from game... well, i know its impossible now b:cry

The seeker stands out more in gvg situations than it does in small scale pvp. In a 1v1 scenario every other class simply has the opportunity to out disable you. With no stable form of CC and no antistun its more than a bit frustrating when you're constantly slept,stuned, sileneced etc. and there is literally -nothing- that you can do about it. Ive considered loading up a genie with antistun,sleep skills but you lose so many others to do it its not very practical. The most efficient way Ive found to play the class if you want to DD is to stay at range as long as you can and outdistance/kite when necessary. I typically void step + occult, get off the close range aoes, then run away as fast as I can against melee classes. Because of the damage distribution on swords high HP targets are going to be an issue. You're largely dependent on skill damage rather than weapon damange from what I can tell; which, even with level 10 skills, is rather annoying.

Seekers are a HA class with mostly ranged Metal-based damage. They have no anti-stun or self healing skills as of right now, they're pretty damn awful; just sayin'.

There is no weaker class, just people that rely on 5 aps for everything b:shutup

BTW, Seeker is incomplete right now, no 79/100 skills, no sage/demons skills and no triple spark. You can't say the class is weak untill we get our stuff and TEST it ourselves.

They have HA so they wont get killed by other HA classes and be able to survive a attack from melee classes and they can kite melee classes while hitting hard with there ranged metal skills, so what you think about that combination is wrong. Of what I heard Seekers are great in TW's or group PvP, but not as great in 1v1 PvP (but they can do good in 1v1 if you know what you are doing or if you have uber gear...).

HA doesn't prevent you from being killed by a melee class lol. Yeah Seekers will have fun kiting without any leap skill and only 6 seconds of anti stun. Maybe if the area is full of mobs and you keep cancel cast tele stun.

Well we just have to wait for their 79/sage and demon skills to come out, to see if they will do good or bad in PvP. (Unless you know already...)

People still measure the length of thier E-peen with 1v1?....


To me, anyone that wins 1v1 with a broken class, and actually brags about it, should audition for asian ****.


ijs

I just want to know, what dose E-peen mean? >_>

E-peen = E-****.

Well my opinion is as follows: Seekers hit hard and I mean it is devestating. I fight every chance I get and these are fights not duels. Either I attack first or they do. I have hit some of the top Endgame/Geared players on Lost City and they have all been impressed by the damage. I have beating a two sin gank and praised that we have that awesome of chances. Now when I talk about endgame I mean ppl like Shinzoko, ReckUrWorld, Risingson, Ludicriss, and other members of Factions like Essence, Vengeful, Instinct, Yakuza and the likes. I have stood toe to to with BMs in TW and survived 2 Dragons and a Stone Rain all at the same time. I am not even R9 yet better yet 100. That is no Triple Spark no 79 skills and I don't even have a Genie with PvP skills. Anytime you want or see me check my gear. All these excuses seem to me like everyone thought Seekers were coming out automatically high in the food chain. Well sorry they didn't and you will have to work and learn the strengths and weakness of the class.

Now the effective skills have been mentioned time and time again. Great combos: BA>Heartseeker>GeminiSlash Heartseeker>Batt>BA>Ion>GeminiSlash VS>Ion>DarkCloud>GeminiSlash

VS>DC>Stalag>BA>Ion>GeminiSlash has killed many a grps that thought they were safe. As you can see our hardest hitting skill is Gemini Slash. Also you can use Stalagstrike and Staggering without the pre effect they do damage and also cause your buff to land on multple targets. So get out there actually play the class and stop making excuses cuz you lose. Everybody dies but those that learn from the deaths and become powerhouse are the ones ppl will talk about.

haven't looked too complex past what i've posted, mine is only 79 atm.

as far as stances go i use soulsever to start. once it procs i blade affinity > gemini, if they arent dead they now have 3 minutes of reduces attack/defense levels, swap stance to parched blade and spam stalagstrike for stun.

another note to remember is edged blur is a buff, that means you can be using other seeker skills while it is still damaging your opponent.

Gotta love how ppl says that seeker aren't good, when they are either used to 5 aps or did'nt even made a seeker yet...

Seekers have been out for what, 2 weeks? And people are jumping to conclusions already??? lol

It takes time in order to get the hang of how to play as a class, and you can't just say it will fail by theory alone, you need to see, SEE, S-E-E, things for themselves, plus we do'nt have our 79/100/sage/demon skills yet, only pwc got them and you can't just base your opinion in what they say over there, that is just stupid and makes no sense.

Learn to play with skills, not with aps...

Oh please, drop the learn2playw/skillznotaps ****. I've been playing long before interval gears were a problem. Don't comment on things you don't understand b:bye.

Oh really? You're not alone, OB player here, if you must know, so don't tell me I'don't understand, I know VERY well what I'm talking about b:bye
