Will we see 5.0 Seekers using rank 8 reforged?

i really doubt anyone will be 5.0 on their seeker, maybe some crazy person that would spend more money recasting their rank 8 gear rather than buying rank 9... but who knows.

It is possbile (very unlikely odds) to get more than 1 - interval on chest + boots for seeker and combining the - interval from love up and down and lunar cape and tt 99 la and ha plus interval on the rank 8 sword. So with all this interval wouldn't they out damage sins?

Well yes, a seeker with something like this would out-do any sin.

But you go and find me a seeker like that.

If they have the R8 top and boots, they wouldn't be able to use both LA and HA TT99 bonuses, unless they use HA or LA pants TT99, which would be stupid.

I've checked this before and a 5.0 seeker with an would cost around 10 trillion coins and would still have a little less dps than a 5.0 g15 zerk sin. The sin wins because their high crit rate and wolf emblem overcomes the DPH advantage of a sword.

Ast got to it before me. b:surrender

I'm playing privet server with 9 trials, all classes etc. and reforging is working. So far I've tried more than 5 000 recasts on Seeker r8 boots and I can't get a single 0.05 interval...

it takes on average 220 tries. are u sure it's not 500 cause 5000 puts you in like the millionth of a percent range of not getting it b:shocked or your game is broken...

My Seeker is 5.0.
My Psy is 5.0.
My Mystic is 5.0.
My Assassin is 5.0.
My Cleric is 5.0.
My Barbarian is 5.0
My Veno is 5.0.
My Blademaster is 5.0.
My Wizard is 5.0.
My Archer is 5.0.

Mr Seeker has 397,144 dps

Mr Assassin has 338,177 dps

The seeker isn't even using recast R9 sword.

Perhaps I made a mistake somewhere? Or would it be because the Seeker in this build has minimum dex, vita and magic and mostly str? And is sharded full DoTs, just like the sin?

i believe seeker can never get 5.0 b/c simply they using a weap that can't go over 2.5.

You can probably gear up 10 5.0 sins from the money it would take you to get those stats. b:surrender Just a wild guess lol

seeker @2aps does more dmg by regular hitting than with skill spamming (vortex excluded), even if we consider the debuff. aps based seeker will also be able to place the curses faster.

After fixing the PWCalc, it looks like you can get to 4.0 base? Would only need -0.05 twice on one peice and -0.05 three times on the other to get to 5.0, three times on both would be unnecessary. Just twice on one and three times on the other for 3.33 base, 5.0 sparked.

Overall though, that build lacks... MDef. HA with Pdef Ornies...

If you got three times on both, you could use MDef ornaments and remain 5.0 sparked though.

Would be... Stupid OP.

The odds are rare but it is possible with the new rank 8 reforge since you can get interval - .05 x3 on chest if you are extremely lucky and also interval - .05 x3 on boots

http://pwcalc.com/5fc9e57d1861d092

*note I edited the chest and boots so they -.15 interval since you can't edit what stats are on it.

In theory its possible, but in practice it's nearly impossible.

Tell you why:
http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/32278 the Cuirass.
There is only 0,0002% chances (rounded) to get 3 interval adds, means you will need to re-roll the adds about 388 thousand times. Not worthy.
http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/32727 the boots
They have even lower chances to get interval, so only 0,0000003% chances (rounded) to get 3 adds a total of 296 millions of re-rolls to get.

So the question was 'Will we see 5.0 Seekers using rank 8 reforged?'
and the answer is: "No, we won't"

Edit:
The easiest way to go 5.0 on a seeker would be this: http://pwcalc.com/b44e2335d07e8317
even through, you would need 2 interval adds on sword, boots and chest, which would be a real pain to your ***. And no, even being the millionaire Loto Winner, you still won't out damage 4.0 R9 sins b:bye

edit: missing % simbols and rounding as solicited by Olbaze.

I hope we don't see anymore 5 aps characters, tbh. Last thing the PWi community needs is another 5 aps character. b:surrender Next thing WC is going to be like "LF 5 aps +10 Seeker or else gtfo" Because we all know once there is a 5 aps class, no one will take any of the lower aps people of the same class.

I remember seeing a screen shot of someone with the R8 chest with two -int bonuses.

The other parts of the gear I wouldn't know.

Out DPS a sin if they were 5aps? Well...... 2 thoughts suddenly came to mind when I read that

1. No bp and they'll die on bosses lol (tt/fc blah blah blah)
yeah i know they can be buffed bp, but it's not readily available like sins

2. no stealth, still gotta be a forefront soldier in tw XD
