Hey guys!

Just a question. If you can dual with a cleric, which class would be the best to level? Seeker or Assassin? I have about 50m to invest, so 5aps is out of reach.
This question is specially for money making of course.

We both (me and the cleric) are planning on 90+ if not 100.

Thanks for all the advice!

    Seekers are non aps, yet I see morons who try 2 put it as much as possible, I rather see - channel on them, assassins are damn expensive to be any good, so in your case I`d recommend a seeker.

    I know you asked about dual-ing... however you can take that 50m and invest it. That'll produce results without the hassle of another acct.

    Seeker's okay for the fact that they're easier to heal early on and vortex makes them fairly good for AoE grinding.

    Assassin is good for later on and if you do like Decus said and invest that initial coin you have for a while, you should be able to get a far better result for both yourself and the cleric.

    I would say seeker too.

    When you'll have maxed Adrenal numbness on him (or her), you will have 30 defense level, add to that the O'Mailey's belssing and it will have 45 defense level. Still doesn't have the hp on a barb though but with cleric buffs can hold his own against a lot of things. Quid Pro something is also a nice skill to learn to transfer debuffs , if you don't have time to switch on ur cleric and purify.

    Of course, due to how the game is now.. A 5 aps sin with bloopaint can survive as well, even better. But with the means you have, still go with seeker. If you can get a Warsoul of Earth with good shards, will help his (her) hp too.

    I'm leveling a seeker with my partner's cleric. Its a pretty good duo, as we (almost) never have to wait for squads to do whatever instance we're trying to do. Probably will get more difficult later with the 5 aps craze, but we're having a great time atm.

    APS is absolutely useless on seeker? APS on seeker isn't the best when compared to other classes; however that does not make it irrelevant. You are a closed-minded, boot-licking pansy. b:bye

    If you use auto attack on your seeker you are a fail (insert some stupid British insult here), most seekers I see (good seekers) use their god damn skills, people like you who have their head far up in the but hole who think everything revolves around aps.

    Yeah, like the ones who use Rock-Splitting Cleave when it's useless before 89, and Battousai on melee mobs. Yeah, those are "good" Seekers. Oh, and don't forget those who think that Seekers are only good for Vortex.

    People are fail because they use APS on seeker? WOW, pansy, have you heard of PVE? Stop licking **** off of other peoples' boots. My advice for you is to actually try auto attacking, before licking and regurgitating **** you have eaten. I like how you determine how someone is fail, by inspecting their gear to see if any of it has interval. If there is interval, that person is automatically considered fail by your standards. Oh, we have ourselves an intelligent, ****-eating, pansy here, guys! b:bye

    I would definitely say seeker if you plan to play with someone else. With sin you will reach a point where you do not want to play with other people. It will also cost an extreme amount of coin to get to that point an with the amount of people who have beat you to farming the things you can- you are likely to have a hard time earning back the coin you spent with the purpose of earning coin.
    Merchanting is an always will be the most op way to earn coin.

    APS =/= Skills

    I didn't know aps was making you cast debuffs faster, gemini slash and other skills that are actually USEFUL on a seeker..

    A bit of APS might help on a seeker (like maybe 2 not sparked), for rest I would invest in channeling myself.

    This might sound rude, so sorry in advance to those who don't feel concerned but..

    To some sins : 5 aps + bloodpaint = "Look I can auto-attack and live, who needs skills"

    Seekers are more : "Look, I can use skills to actually help the squad, how's that ?"

    Why not have a bit of both?

    Well the most your ever gonna get out of a sword is 2 aps, with demon spark, and I can count the amount of demon seekers I've met on 1 hand (3). So with sage your at 1.67 with all interval gear, when you could be 1.43 with some decent - channel put in. I promise that little interval isn't gonna help much. The OHT necklace and belt aren't hard to find, and with the channel cape and the two rings, your at -30 channel. Your Gemini is at a 2.3 second channel, which is a second faster. Heartseeker is at .91 seconds. Your Bladed Fervor is at 1.27 b:chuckle.
