Hi all i really like this class and want to take it to end game but for a while now ive bin hearing somethings that seem to make having a seeker as a main a bad thing and i just wanted you guys input to help me clear this up.

-Heard that at end game pvp seekers are.......well.....pathetic, ive heard that they usually get ignored and are not a priority since they're hits don't do much and all they are is just a meat shield and the only thing they got going for them is the high crit that come every now and then . Even heard a r9 seeker talked about how hard it was always for him to kill other similar geared people. so im wondering do we only do good damage at mid to early end game then hit like vit barbs later?

-was also told we dont have much going on for us in tw since we don't specialize in anything. If thats true that would be a let down since i like being at least a little useful and i would like to tw alot when i get to that lvl XD.

-People say after fc and delta we have no lifeb:cry since no one will take us to nv because we lack the aps. This bothers me because i actually wanna be able to continue to enjoy the game without being prohibited because of my class plus i like farming for my gear or at least some of it cus ive seen it go for 160 mill n stuff like thatb:surrender

-Hear the r8 gear kinda suck......this one im actually tempted to belive because one day i saw a +10 NV seeker oneshot a +10r8 seeker with gemini and we were all like dayuummm wth? but it could have also bin a lucky crit or something.....oh n no he wasnt debuffed, everyone was standing around then out of nowhere the girl just decided to randomly put it one him n bam dead seeker. so does it suck or is going for NV better?

oh yea is this good enough for me to frost?http://pwcalc.com/9336072f05aa7ba0
can someone tell me how much the TT armor would cost i already have the wep btw.......or do i need to change it?b:surrender

    personally i love my seeker. we can do huge hits and although we may not be the best at pvp, our buffs give us a huge advantage in it. if you don't have the stats to be at the same lvl as your enemy, then use your skills and debuffs to bring them down to your lvl. I use my seeker for TW and he is usually the last one standing on our side next to the barbs in all out combat. but the important thing is weather or not you truely have fun with your character. for me my seeker doesn't have to be the best at anything for me to like him because i have fun using him

    Seekers are great at many things damage is one of them, seekers can tank magic classes and dish out physical damage at the same time same goes with the opposite, they can take on physical classes barb/sin/other seekers as well. All the while running back and stunning and doing major damage with magic moves such as Gemini. Seekers also have a bonus they got newer moves with more effects unlike barbs who have the older moves that don't have many effects. as Tw and Pvp goes it depends a lot about the persons skill and refines plus gear, but face it even a nirvana with +10 can die to a 9x. seekers are good as well as for frost with vortex and in tws with there all around damage and aoes. hope i've been helpful b:bye

    Everything that was said above me is correct, I love my seeker and as damage wise go its decent enough to one shot a few classes :D

    Yes sometimes NV is a problem but there are people out their that wish to have them in the squads, Some people are APS Hoons haha and just want fast runs, reason why many re-class to a Sin or Venomancer for NV but still keep their main seekers.

    PvP and TW it doesn't matter, just enjoy your class and have fun with him :D

    i agree seekers are a great class and although you are not alwaysa a priority in nirvy people love a seeker for caster because of debuffs

    I play a sin a cleric a seeker a bm and a barb. I gotta say seeker b my favorite class so far. I agree with all of whats been said above, except some of what has been gettin u down. I recently squaded with an R9 seek UU in abbadon on my sin for a friends FB. She solo's all bosses without heals faster than my +7 5 aps sin could by far. It was an inspiring moment.

    Also seekers can be of the highest value in Nirvy if the squad is pro and has demon HF bm. Many bosses in nirvy can't be hf'd but a pro bm and seek can start a duel on the run up hf to seeker qpq to boss sins spark an its over. Most "pro" lvl squads don't know this so it can take some edumacatin but once you find one they'll luv you :)

    and btw yay on me 1st forum post :p

    i dont know where you got that information from seekers are great you just have to spend some time and learn how to play the class, they are not underpowered. oh and btw every class has a role in tw including seekers.

    O.0 had no idea this is still alive n kinking but lol still thanks all for the advice im lvl70 now and the class is pretty awesome and as for learning how to use it im ok i guess n sometimes i feel OP in pvp because most of the time i fight someone within 40 lvls of me i tend to get there hp down to about 20% which they only got me to about 75% or don't get hit me at all not that im the bragging type but it pretty nice once u chain the skills right n don't stand and tank everything they got like a idiot XD

    who ever said that is a dummy no offense.... can't begin to count how many times a seeker ticked my charm with 1 gemini and finished the job swiftly... but i've only fought with r9 seekers...
    What can you expect from filthy little heathens? Their whole disgusting race is like a curse. Their skin's a hellish red they're only good when dead they're vermin, as I said and worse. They're Savages! Savages! Barely even human. Savages! Savages! Drive them from our shore! They're not like you and me
    which means they must be evil we must sound the drums of war! They're Savages! Savages! Dirty redskin devils! Now we sound the drums of war!
