    And... what do you want out of it? 1v1 power? TW? Random mass PK? NW?

    That combined with your playstyle, how well you can afford to gear the character, what you're used to, and so on all matter for this.

    Seeker is a very popular class but I don't think they are that fun to play in pvp. If your OP sure but that's true for every class. To put it bluntly, ppl think seekers are viable in pvp cuz they see all the R9 seekers running around. Take those away and you see how its a pve oriented class.

    You dont know how wrong that is, sure an r9 gof seeker is OP, but regular seekers are pretty darn strong too, HA armor, increased defense and attack levels, decreases your defense and attack levels, heals upon killing blows, several antistuns, seals, stuns, immobilizations, and they also have really high skill damage.
    Honestly, there are enough r9 Pvping archers wizards and psys, so i say seeker

    Well i have a playstyle... PvP i really dont care how i get the job done slowly but effectivly or DPH and just one shot them and gear isnt a big issue i am by no means a chas shopper however i do spend a SMALL ammount i think ive spent so far about 200$ on the game itself and im willing to work hard and long for my gear or consistently running the same things over and over to achive my goal here is why i made my pol that way.
    1. Seeker.. i like the whole flip the buff back, high Pdef yet high magical damage vs any class they can wreak if not wreaked first and there now Morai skills are very good
    2. Psy.. ive had one and i love the play style split second desitions such as WHite voodoo or black or to use the 5sec immune to phys damage skill im good with fast desitions and juust lvoe the class
    3. Archer.. long ranged high DD class +a purge bow... god they are HELLA annoying!!! sage barb buffs.. purged.... DEAD... mother***** i find it annoying and effective
    4. Wizzie.. hard hitting high pdef(for AA class) strong nuke labled for TW yet a 1v1 PvP if you can get a few seconds to get a skill of it loads in to a huge hurt locker.

    Gear and farming is not the issue but im looking for something effeective and "wanted" posibly not the OH YEAH I WANT THAT but mroe of a join a guild and be an effective wanted member due to class weather it is in TW, PvP, ToB ect ect with that being said what do you think now?

    Well, if you want something that will be effective towards you're guild then you should look at what your guild needs more. Being honest, I never found seekers that useful for TW other than for a few specialized roles. It's like they're trying to be a bit of everything, but then ends up not being the best at anything.

    I don't want to say the game is balanced,but all of this 4 classes got there own weakness and strength,I don't think none of them got a total superiority over others.
    it is all about playing style,for example I can never Imagine my self as a good psy player, does it mean I think psy is a weak class? not at all!
    this is not important which one is more powerful, the main question is: which one is you?
    find out which one you are and be that b:victory
    Victorious warriors win first then go to war,while defeated warriors go to war first then seek to win.

    Best reply to what u ask so far. Pick the class that works best for u like me i love playing barbs but i made a change with the new class xp to a seeker and been working with him since day one. A seeker yes is a good pve class and one of the best to fit how i play. Seeker in pvp are also very strong with there buffs ,seals ,high crit%,and beening able to deal (M)damage/(P)damage. To tell u the truth is the only bad thing about being a seeker is killing urself with your own skills b:surrender
    GL with your PVPer

    If I were you I'd go with seeker because:
    1.You can share your HA gear from barb with it (less money wasted on gears/refines/shards);
    2.It's a pretty versatile class in PVP and has quite a decent survivability because of their buffs and skills;
    3.Physical and magic attacks (pain in the *** for both arcane and HA classes);
    4.It has nasty debuffs.

    1. Seen few HA archers. (sharing their gear with bm/barb)
    2.Well.. Archer and psy got some nice selfbuffs and skills too.
    3. Archer deals both phy and mag dmg.
    4. So does archer and psy. (STA, purge bow, charm tick takes longer, pot cd is longer etc.)

    My suggestion is to really think what you want to do in the game. PVP? PVE? Glasscannon or tank? Maybe aps? Ask from other seekers/archers/psy's the + and - sides of the class and maybe make a list based on them or maybe just lvl 1 of each till.. idk? 30-40's?

    But if you want to be useful for your faction and you dont care for PVP then I suggest seeker, since tanks are always wanted in every faction. :)

    I play seeker, you don't have a very good evaluation of the class. Some of your claims are not factual.

    While this maybe true for most of the relevant classes mentioned in this thread the class that is most superior is seekers. Let me explain.

    The hp they gain from refines is the highest in the game along with barbs and bms
    They get 30+ defense levels for free which is a massive improvement on defense enabling them to tank better than any class in the game except for a barb but they don't have to do as much work for it.

    Range aoes and magic skills that can zerk letting them hit harder than most other classes except for maybe a wizard and a barb arma and maybe a couple of other exceptions
    Relatively high crit rate
    Purify skill that not only purifies all rebuffs but also transfers debuffs and seals for a tiny tiny cost
    An equilvelant skill to deaden nerves
    Defense level debuffs that are aoe
    Attacks that cut through defense levels
    Anti stun for tiny cost


    Basically with minimal skill and equal gear to other classes you can be an unkillable machine that has about a 60% chance to hit double damage and a 30% chance to deal 4x damage which 1 shots most things
