trololol thats a joke. I can take any equal geared (and some better geared) class 1v1 on my Seeker. Hell, I can take most 2-3 on 1. If you cant pvp on a seeker, YOU fail, not the class. And trust me, we do alot more in TW than vortex. Besides, if a seeker vortexes at all in tw, except in very certain cases, they are fail as hell.

^this. Seekers are way under rated just because we don't got stuns or anti stuns. Any capable pker can make up for that with pots/genies at least 95% of the time. My seeker does fine in pk and never found myself thinking "wow this class sucks might as well leave it". Also Loves is right Vortex is a situationa move, every one talks like in every fight a seeker needs to drop Vortex or he sucks.l

Seekers and mystics shine well in a r8/nirv predominate faction up against a predominate r8/nirv faction in TW. Somthing you don't see on some of the older servers. Once the devs get off their *** and change one little numerical digit in the files. Im sure the tables of perspective will change for the classes.

What are you going to do on a seeker? Vortex someone? Yeah, and they'll hop and skip away and turn around and kill you. Seekers are ok and all. They just have nothing that puts them on the level of an archer,wizard, or psychic.

Yeah, cause a skill that costs no chi, has a 15 second cooldown and a 28 meter range which does 450% weapon damage +7500 physical and 7850 metal damage while reducing both attack and defense levels by 10 in a 12 meter aoe radius is just useless....... guess I should go vortex and shut up, right? Wait, before I do that let me hit you with a 5 second stun from out of nowhere (yeah, I just teleported to you, what now?!) then insta-cast an 8 second seal to hold you in place while my vortex shreds you mercilessly...... (sorta kidding, vortex does suck usually in pvp, but it can be effective at times).

Seriously, I keep hearing the same **** about seekers that I heard a year ago about psychics. Useless this, fail that, shut up already.......

Seekers: Seekers are particularly useful in that they have both magical and physical attacks, along with several devastating AoE's that can take chunks off HP provided the Seeker is equipped and statted correctly. Seekers should aim MOSTLY for Psychics, simply because the Seeker class was designed for fighting them: High HP, Metal attacks for getting through Psychic Will, and Gemini Slash, which can usually wipe out most pure MAG Psychics. They can also aim for BM's coming towards the enemy with Heartseeker, which will freeze the enemy, and they can also target ranged classes such as Archers, due to their high Physical defense. Because so few players play the Seeker class and play it well (much like Psychics themselves,) they often go unnoticed if they don't pretend they're BM's and run into battle, only to kamakaze and die.

The DOWNSIDE to Seeker is their incredibly poor magic defense. Seekers will have to strike first, and quickly, to avoid getting smashed by Wizards, Venomancers, Mystics, Psychics, and Offense Clerics. The casting time on some of their skills is also a problem. It's a good idea to level up Blade Affinity.

Mystics: Mystics are mostly known for their Salvation Buff, and Revival buff in battle. Intelligent coordinators will put a Mystic with their Cata Squad with a cleric to ensure the survival of the group as a whole. While the Cleric will cover healing, sometimes the cleric itself needs cover, which is where the Mystic usually comes in. Like Seekers, there are not so many higher level Mystics (Although, there are more high level Mystics than Seekers in most servers) so they often go unnoticed in battle. Mystics can also use their healing plants to aid the cleric in healing the squad. The most useful feature of the Mystic however, is their knockback ability. Properly timing out the knockback can result in oncoming BM's getting interrupted with things that can hinder pushes, such as group stunning and DG. They can also push back cata pullers, which stalls the enemy push for a short amount of time. Mystics are particularly dangerous with their physical attack skill, like a cleric's plume shot, that can also take out fellow casters. This makes them very viable to taking out Clerics, Wizards, Psychics, and Venomancers. Their pets also give them special abilities that can be used to a better advantage, such as increased attack and defenses.

EDIT: You can also use your thicket and other plants to hinder enemy pushes, or find Assassins near the group. Very useful!

The DOWNSIDE to Mystics is simple. They're hella squishy, and you don't hit particularly hard. The Physical attack spell takes a little while to charge up, which can leave you vulnerable. It's also been noted that Mystics run out of mana very quickly, and with current charm prices, TW can get expensive. (Luckily, Mystics are similar to Venomancers in the repair cost department.)



I've played both in TW, and I like both classes. I prefer my Psychic in TW, but go with whichever class makes you feel more comfortable playing with. b:bye
