5str, 3dex, 2vit untill I cap my vit. then str build.

Pure str, and loving it.

377 str, 150 dex with gears atm.. Hit like a truck, and still can tank,

I happen to be level 49 at the moment, Kind of all over the place. These are my Stat point distributions. If you have any idea how I SHOULD spend my points to become a high hitter please tell me. So far,
Vit: 30
Mag: 5
Str:163
Dex:68

reply and tell me what I should do if I enjoy hitting high

been building my seeker since the beginning as a pure str build.. im currently at 454 str and 150 dex.. and loving it.. so far 215k is my highest damage with gemini (on dracoboa in abaddon/ non-zerk damage) with veno, bm, seeker debuffs.. i have yet to test it in tw as im guildless.. xD

Currently I'm using the HA tank build 5, 3, 2. My main question is that, once i cap the VIT, what increases the damage more?

Is the damage output based on STR or DEX? Or is it a balance between the two? With Mages, it's easy, a Pure build is all to MAG, STR for gear, leave the rest alone. For Archers, Pure is focusing fully on DEX. (I think the same also applies for Sin's) with BM's the build kind of depends on the weapons you plan to use and gear req for them.

Has anyone tested the stats fully and figured out what a PURE build would be for a seeker?

Technically, for the most part, damage comes from skill use (especially skills like vortex and gemini slash). STR would benefit only regular attacks or the base damage + add-on attacks like stalagstrike. Following the pattern of "pure" builds, I would define pure as following minimal equipment requirements and enhancing the stat that gives the class its main source of damage. I would say 7 str/3 dex per lvl would be the "pure" build for Seeker. Adding dex is just for minimal requirements or if you aim to get their crit to maybe 10%. Seeker crits are quite nice, though.

I plan to add a better explanation of the builds on my guide to discuss the importance of stat points better.

there is no way 2 knew what stats are seekers best stats i am being oure str butmight go all vit end game if i see my seeker cant take the hist necesery 2 survive gank of sin wish in my point is seekers true strength.
we are very simular 2 barb only that our tanking come from deff lv and not hp so if u look seeker liek that minimum str and dex and pump on vit would we a true tank seeker.
hopefully enogh for the rank9 sins 100 attack lv idk cos my seeker isnt there yet lv77
all i knew str does help kill faster so its a + as for pvp who knews.

Yep, this class has a lot of freedom for that purpose. The str/dex goes up to minimal requirements for what you want to equip in the upcoming levels and the rest of the points is where creativity happens. b:pleased

After reading many posts related to build design discussions, I feel that I should help explain the process in my guide's build section. I'll cover extra stat point distributions a bit more and add some tips on evaluating your personal needs as someone playing the seeker class.

2 points:

1) At endgame, a seeker can't hold agg.

2) Before endgame, to hold agg, a seeker can't take hits like a barb or BM with marrows.
OR
2a) Before endgame gears, to tank boss's damage, a seeker can't hold agg. [that, or you have to have coin for refines and shards] A vit. seeker can't hold agg off of my lvl 69 fist BM. I only have one piece of -interval, but if they've skimped on their str., one spark and it's all over. AND I'M A VIT BUILD FISTY!

Sum up: Seekers can tank [sorta], but they shouldn't. I view the defense as more of a bonus, "you won't die when your crit pulls agg." [like a wizard would]

Just my 2 dq poitns. b:bye

Seeker: What is our meaning in life?

There are ways to deal damage as a seeker, while going around the whole vit bind that you and quite a few clueless players are banking on.


And I will say it again. Seekers are NOT made out of paper. We aren't "squishy" and for all who has said so, is not equipping it right and is not leveling up adrenal numbness. So people need to stop(the person above me) with the implicating remarks that we're so weaksauce class because we can't go 5.0, and tank on the calibur of barbs. The logic there does not compute because obviously no one can match the tanking capabilities of a barb.

So, yeah. The person I was responding to had said, "like a barb" [not to be confused with "like a boss" b:chuckle]. From your own post, I do not think you would disagree with me that that was a completely wrong assumption. But, in instances, for me to hold agg off of BM's and sins, I need to use Vortex. To keep it up, I need a charm. [until lvl 75, at which point it is even harder to keep agg off of BM's and Sins] If I am in a situation where I actually can hold agg from a BM without vortex, he probably has more HP than me and should tank anyway. [or he's an idiot]

I know we can take a hunk of damage [I look at numbers and compare them to my BM when it was this lvl] but my point is, in every case where it is practical for us to tank, we shouldn't because there is someone more qualified. In a squad of casters, we should definitely be taking the hits, but in any "normal" squad, the seeker tanking is either expensive, impractical, or just weird. I've seen us do it, and, no denying it, as far as damage tanking it goes pretty well. [except on Wyvern with a mystic. I miss clerics b:surrender] The problem comes with damage dealt without Vortex, and crowd-control getting to the boss. If a squishy catches agg, we have no good way to be sure and get it back. With a BM, just stun it and you have 6 seconds to figure out what to do. With a Seeker, if void-step is on cooldown [from the last time a squishy pulled agg], there is very little you can do, other than hopping that HS freezes.

To my mind, a seeker tanking is almost like a 5.0 wizzie: it is not what the class was designed for and it can cause problems/is impractical.
