    It's purely Playstyle based. One is not better then the other.

    Go here And look at all the skills as well as their sage/demon forms and pick the one that suits your playstyle the most.

    I think in PvE the seeker has some advantages though.

    They often get free spots in FC runs as they need the seekers vortex.
    You can later on make money zenning people with the seeker.

    In other words, the seeker is a good character to power level yourself for cheap and to make money powerleveling other chars.

    Seriously. Why are you endorsing Plvling....... Ignore the quoted post >_>

    No one NEEDS a seekers vortex and a BM who knows what they are doing can do it just as well if not better.

    It baffles me why people wonder why there's people running around severely undergeared at 100+ and yet endorse or do plvling...

    Because they're idiots who can't play their class. BRs work out just fine without Vortex.

    Don't get me wrong, Seekers are amazing for FC, but they are never "needed" like a healer or a puller or DDs are.

    I'd say bm because they're more versatile in terms of weapons and are useful in almost every instance in the game. They have impressive one-on-one dps and great aoes and debuffs as well as more stuns.

    Seekers are nice because you can get to lvl 59+ and solo pv with bp for fast experience. You can't really make a profit off of vortex zhenning someone because the exp rate is just awful compared to FC or even bh. (I've tried it)

    Anyways, I chose seeker because I like the skill animations and I hate playing aps characters. So pick whichever one looks nicer/prettier to you.

    So Whos Better? i think seeker is good for making money but BMs can be good for pvp or pve? i heard that BMs suck at PVP.. i also heard that the seeker is kind of an allrounder who can do PVP and PVE well.. the Seekers Vortex is really powerful and BMs stuff costs a little bit more.. i dont know what to choose :S

    BMs are better for making money but their gear does tend to cost more if you go the aps route.

    As I said before neither are better. It's playstyle....

    BM's Are amazing at PVP if they know what they are doing. Seekers need a bit more higher endgame gear to be as effective as a bm in damage.

    Overall I'd lean toward BM only because of the versatility as well as they are generally more wanted then a Seeker in almost any endgame instance because of their HF and CC abilities.

    If you don't like the way the seeker looks then you probably shouldn't choose it because who wants to be annoyed or unhappy with how their character looks everytime they play?

    Also, BMs can tank as well but they lack the continuous aoe that the seeker has so seekers are usually better at tanking a ton of mobs at once in swarms such as in Delta while a BM is better at tanking bosses because they can hold aggro better with their dps.

    Let's put it simply. R9+10 bm can tank/solo delta fine with bp and a bit of heals, that being said so could a r9+10 seeker.

    Point being, if your gear is not to the endgame point, life is not rosy, at that point you would rather be playing a class that is fun to get through the throny times. Might take a few weeks (if cash is flowing) or a year or so (if cash is not flowing).

    People always say seeker is better for fcc, bm is sucky. If someone is powerlvling, you don't need either character to be awesome, just need to know the skills. It may be that the seeker requires a fewer amounts of clicks, and people think the seeker is better b:shutup. More clicks = more complex = higher chance of frying brains b:angry.

    If you want to solo everything in this game, create 6 accounts(100+), make a sin, deck it out with g15/g16/r9 +12 weapon, armour at +10 and you can solo anything. If you want to play with friends, and other players, take your time and learn which ever class you pick.

    My bm is 102, and i am still learning how to kill harder bosses every week which i thought was not possible before. My pve knowledge is bad and my pvp knowledge is next to zero. But i still have fun playing this game. b:bye

    Bm is better than Seeker to farm when it comes to TT, because of the aps and damage output.

    If this is your first toon, and you have to choose between a Bm and a Seeker go with the Bm. Then roll a cleric on a seperate account and you will be able to duo TT, which in return you can use the coin for whatever u want.
