Hi all.

I'm looking for a definitive class for me for to reach end-game. Is important to me:

- Fun to play
- Required in squads and instances
- Great at PVP
- Easy and fast leveling, AoEs, can kill massive amount of monster at the same time, etc.

Well I think the list is done xD I know that the perfect class don't exist, but I really want to choose a definitive class for me and I don't want to waste my limited time in a class that after the time invested, don't worth for me and don't like me b:sad

After reading a lot on forums I think Seeker and Psychic can be good choices. So my question is, what do you think about this classes and the requeriments? Any comment is welcome.

Thank you all.

    Hi all.

    I'm looking for a definitive class for me for to reach end-game. Is important to me:

    - Fun to play that's personal preference ;)
    - Required in squads and instances I see more calls for seekers then for psy's nowadays.
    - Great at PVP Both are if played well. I can't tell much about this though, since I have neither classes at higher lvl.
    - Easy and fast leveling, AoEs, can kill massive amount of monster at the same time, etc. all classes lvl about evenly fast. Aoe's and massive amounts of mobs would be seeker ;3

    Well I think the list is done xD I know that the perfect class don't exist, but I really want to choose a definitive class for me and I don't want to waste my limited time in a class that after the time invested, don't worth for me and don't like me b:sad

    I would say seeker is the class for you. We're quite the tanks with high defence lvls endgame and we have a lot of aoe's.
    Seekers are tanks/DD's/debuffers all depending on who the other squad members are.
    Psy's are mostly DD'd.
    In pvp psy will also be the high damage dealer where the seeker will be more of the aoe's. :)

    I'd like to recommend the psychic. They have nice aoe's, can stun, hit very hard and are extremely hard to kill endgame in PvP.

    Seekers are nice yes, but I guess it comes down to your own personal preference. They're good tanks and AOE's and I've met a couple in PvP that can kill quite effectively.

    I played a Psychic when Tideborn came out and I had fun with the class, both in PvP (Cube mostly since I play on Dreanweaver) and PvE. He is lvl 83 and I still play him now and then but mainly to help others since I came back to PWI because I just had to try Seeker or Mystic.

    Seeker is fun to play, cool looking skills and I just love the AoEs. I only have one BIG problem. It's, at least in Dreamweaver very hard to get a good weapon for my Seeker. He is lvl 47 now and still using lvl 30 gold weapon. I am looking every day for a good 40+, or even 50+ weapon but teh only one people seem to sell is the lvl 61 gold one. Other than that the AH is pretty much empty on weapons usable for a Seeker. A couple of times I have seen 1 2star weapon and the price was 1m! Not that it was better than the weapon that I already have since I made it +4. Maybe I need to make it like +5 or more so my Seeker is not so weak before reaching lvl 61. Still, i don't want to give up on him because the vast number of skills, cool effects and good survivability make Seeker a fun claass to play.

    The 2* weapons were probably 1-2mil because they are needed for the blacksmith quest. Or someone just stupidly overpriced them.

    Seeker!!! Seeker ftw.. if u ate a 73 Psychi.. i m beat u with my 73 seeker. this much i KNOW!!
    besides that.. psychi are good at aoe and stuff.. but seeker is better.. if u build the seeker right.. man that vortex stuff can be really deathly in FC and other AOE grinding places.. u can psy have good damage.. but their defence blows.. they can only AOE on magic mobs or tank magic mobs.. but with seeker.. u can AOE.. U can TANK.. U can DD.. u can Debuff... blah bla blahhhhh... besides seeker is i think that one class that can actually buff your party's Attack level and defense level without stones or gems.. Seekers get party buffs that can add attack levels or defense levels to gear.. basically Seekers can be a meele tank and it can also be a Ranged AOE DD. I m a level 73 seeker for now.. and i have never lost a duel to a psy or sin or BM of my level. Edge blur is an awesome skill.. once u activate it.. doesnt matter if u stunned or paralized or silenced or slept.. if the opponent is in range u ll keep damaging him/her even when u are in a disabled state.. o and one more thing.. SEEKERS CAN FORCE SINS OUT OF STEALTH MODE.. when i say force.. i mean seekers skills can make them loose invisibility against their will XD.. thats the BEST part when u are a seeker.. NO ONE SNEAKS UP ON A SEEKER :p.. oh and btw.. SEEKERS can reflect debuffs back at the caster.. for example.. a BM usually DGs and then damages u right.. well if u are a seeker.. u can transfer that DG debuff which is on you back to the damn bm who put it on u :p.. or silence in sin's case.. if a sin silences u.. u can toss it back at the sin.. Seekers also get a teleport stun skill like sins.. U can actually teleport from a distance and stun the enemy like a sin.. AND U ARE A HEAVY ARMOUR USER XD.. what more advantage would u want.. :p

    I agree Seekers are very good players, but don't go bashing Psys now :P For one thing, Psys have a wide variety of buffs, some of which other players can use; like Empowered Vigor which can help a tank survive a large pull in FC with it's amplified healing effects.. and I've seen some tanks ask for SoV for waves 4-5 in RB to keep aggro. Second thing, they also have a nice variety of debuffs, including that unique Soulburn (veryyyy nice skill in PvP AND PvE *drools*), as well as stuns and freezing effects, etc. THIRDLY, if used proper, they can kill a mob even before it touches them, and even if it does, Psychic Will is a very nice buff that makes them immune to physical damage at all :P I'm juuust saying heheh

    (btw, about detection potions.... let's just say anyone can force a sin out of stealth :P)

    It all depends on what you prefer, melee or mag. class.. both are pretty nice imo :3
