So would you caster classes be willing to take a seeker along with you into Caster Nirvana since they do magic damage with alot of their attacks?

Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    Yes, since they also have great magic debuffs as well to help squad DD better, like what you said they do magic damage and they don't get invited to normal Nirvana's anyway... so why not? lol

    Then in this case, you might as well let archers (metal damage), and barbs (wood damage) in too since they don't get NV either xD.

    Or any melee class that has sharded their weapon with elemental/magic shards. But i believe the instance is set to caster classes only? Not sure if seeker falls into this category, seeing as they equip melee weapons.

    How do you compare barb and archer elemental buffs to seekers magic attacks and debuffs?

    It's a joke, it's supposed to be a "caster" nirvana, and people are complaining because "this" melee class with "magic skills" isn't "invited" to all the fun, thus ruining the point for a "caster nirvana". xD

    Yes. Hell, I'd even take them in normal nirvana. And have a few times.

    Seeker debuffs are more useful to caster squads than the 5aps squads which do normal nirvana.

    dont see why casters wouldnt take them and also have a handy HA user for those um, barely-have-enough-hp-to-take-a-hit type of people u MIGHT find in random squads (have found such ppl for bh who only survive due to awsome clerics). have yet to try out caster nirvana so not sure how hard those bosses hit but even for an off chance itd be good to have someone with good def

    If i can't find any Magic DD probably but, I doubt it if i got 6 Casters in squad, yeah seekers got pretty normal magic dmg and pretty cool debuff but they not worth as a caster in this instance, so imho sorry seekers better luck next time :P.

    I do understand that, as I have a seeker lvl 82. They , in fact, can help a lot casters do more damage.

    But sadly, at the base, they are a melee class. I went to Nirvanas with a seeker in group and it went well.

    It's about the same that happens with barbs in a way. Having one is great for hp buff/atk buff but no way will he be able to hold agro against 4-5 aps sins that have said buffs, thus not everyone takes one.

    Story is similar with seeker. Clerics would like the metal debuffs, wiz the fire one, etc...But after applying those debuffs, in a caster nirvana, they would be less useful then in a physical based one.

    It is sad that they cannot go help, but at least, of the two latest classes, each can go to their own versions of it.

    Yes, a 4-5 aps sin squad won't want a seeker, like most don't want a "just" 2.86 aps bm like me, but that's where friends kick in to make their own squads :)
    Proud supporter of the new expansion. Sure it has it's share of bugs, like any games. But for a pure farmer/grinder, that's a whole lot of new mobs to go beat up b:chuckle

    i am happy they killing aps really so now i am going aps.

    for me aps is like any skill now u have certain time to deal extra damage auto attacking LIKE a skill would then u have to get back ur chi and repeaet.

    in a way it make ppl think of its as a usefull skill not something u can do and finito its done.

    dont u guys agree this way its more like a skill with aps.

    as for pvp its still usefull if u make sure ur oponenr is stun locked and u knew they wont move or u will have wasted ur chi b:chuckle

    A seeker with level'd debuffs in a caster squad can boost squad damage considerably, not even taking into account their own attacks. I always love to have a seeker in squad in caster nirvy.

    Lol at this. all your other posts are like. "i don't like aps" or "i'm a true barb" and now your talking about going aps because of a few changes. still seems slightly hypocritical to me
