Hello ever since i reached level 100 i noticed that most seekers or level 100s use charms, especially duels. I am just wondering if i should bother investing in getting a hp charm to make it a bit easier to live. With sells here i am thinking i should take advantage. So my question is whether its worth me getting an charm, even though i dont make too much money daily. Average of like 500k - 3mil a day i make in those regions depends on the bh100 rewards and other factors.

So far i have been crabbing and using herbs for hp and mp. The herbs i am fine with, but not sure about the crab, so i asked this.

Thank you everyone wait to here your opinion.

    Unless you're doing TW you really dont need a charm. Crabs should be enough....if not just ask a sin for BP.

    If you're not dying a lot, I'd say no. Unless you're doing TW you should do fine without a charm(obviously I haven't done delta yet, but I gues that's the other part where a charm would be a blessing x_X)

    I personally haven't used my charm from the tideborn chain yet, pure because I know I will have to do delta for culti at a certain point and I want to go in there charmed.

    In PvE i do OK charmless. Esspecially if a sin in grp gave BP... ive saved my own *** many times just spamming my fastest skills when the cleric was stuck on stupid this way. And crabs ofc complements the BP well.


    In TWs, I always wear them.

    Shame i cant unequip the charm ; /. Also xd i am bit worried about having 6.5k hp. But i capped vit at 50 because i think its not too much or little. Plus if i wanted to go full str, it will only cost 1 reset. Also adding more vit might give me only 7k hp, so i guess i made the right choice. Right now i am trying to get rank 8. I am rank 6 and close to rank 7, shame that it doesn't make sense to wear the rank 7 gear but the ring should come handy.

    Don't worry to much with HP in a PvE setting, in fact it makes you more efficient on heals, with crabs, or BP or even for the cleric. In the end, you will recieve less damage than anyone in group anyway. When I first got r8 I was only 5.9k unbuffed (no refines and just flawless shards at the time) And I'm pure str/dex build. And did fine in any PvE.

    PvP however HP will be accounted for more.. Wiz/psy/ hit pretty hard even none crit, with a crit they obviously will hit harder. So in the end, to mitigate what they do, you'll need some good HP to buffer the damage they deal. defs lvls even then will complimant your lack of endgame geared HP lvls if you went full str build.

    :D Cool. So i guess keep my 50 vit and get my rank 8 and refined and shard!. Then maybe reset down to 5vit :). The only reason i had more hp for that full pull, but now that i know i cant do it cause my comp cant handle it, there isnt too much uses for hp except tw as you mentioned. But i guess at the end of the day 50vit isnt xD really to much difference after i get my gear.

    Yea, refined to +5 across the board, with lunar robe/warsong healm r8..imac shards (only bcuz i had them) puts me at around 7k unbuffed. plenty for PvE delta/nirvana/all TTs...so yea you'll be fine hehe.

    Now the only issue is to decide when to reset XD. If i do now i will have 5.5k hp. Or i could wait till rank8. :O regardlesss i will decide soon.

    Depends on what your doing. PVE seekers dont really need charms, just MP and HP pots, long enough to hold vortex. For PVP, Seekers would be smart to have a HP Charm.

    Lvl 100 Seeker, and my durations:

    Plat HP Charm-PVE&PVP lasts 1 day.
    Plat MP Charm-PVE&PVP lasts 2 weeks.

    Cool thanks. And thanks ReMarko. I think i wont go full str and just leave my vit at 50, so i got hp for pvp and damge for pve. 50vit isnt high or too late and a nice buffer for me in case i want to change.b:pleased

    I would like to think that 50vit and 160dex and rest all str is a hybird of a high vit tank seeker and a high str seeker.

    I tried 90 vit and to be honested i havent seen much difference from 50 or 90 or even higher then that. 500 hp - 1k hp from the stats isnt going to help me. The only vit and hp that is really going to help me is refined gear and shards.

    meh 7k or 6.5k not much difference for me. Yes thats what a full vit seeker build will give me, around 7k buffed, which is probably still too low. which is why gear is more important to me :C.
