    seekers arent OP -.- i only wish.
    invoke probably wore off cause i know i dont hit that hard with my R9r3+12 sword....

    ANY class that can zerk crit is OP
    Zerk critting archers who shoot from 38458 feet away? OP
    Psy stunning the hoo haa out of you and critting you? OP

    I think some pple fail to take into account that some of these so called super crits that seekers dish out, are combos that take

    1- a good while to CD
    2- 5-6 skills in succession= takes longer= can be interrupted QUITE often.


    In fact i see a few VERY PROMINENT OP pple in this thread that thrive on their characters, soloing pretty much every instance and every boss, every PVP content, complaining about a seeker, a class they will never be even though they have the $$ to fully R9r3 it, cause its not AS good. What is this BS

    @OP
    Id try a psy or an archer....

    Funny no one thinks assassin are OP anymore these day. Aps gear are outdated and incredibly weak (oneshot by any stage 3 with decent refines). New Morai skills are a joke (let me check your purse, drop me some dq when u die, make everyone invisible for 5 sec).
    Hope assassin make a comeback in later patches like useful new skills/buff and upgrade to the outdated aps gears. b:surrender


    Yea aps class are useless these day unless u meet someone who's still a newb or undergeared. There's still hope tho. You can go DPH(drop aps gears and get gear that increase your attack lvl like r9 for example) and sneak up on an opponent throw all debuff and stun on them, then spam a few skill on them(don't auto attack). If this fail to kill your opponent and your opponent is with a bunch of his allies, u should run or stealth and pick on weaker target(s). GL all you sins. b:kiss

    The issue with seekers is Quid Pro Quo, that skill MUST be changed so it wont transfer the defense level debuff from Sacrificial Slash to the target. Seekers MUST NOT have a skill that increases attack level and/or decreases target defense level with NO PENALTY, no chi cost and every 30 seconds, lets not even mention critical zerks please.. what are the developers in china thinking?

    Regarding the OP why would you play a squishy class when seekers can deal so much damage and tank almost anything? have you seen the damage rankings lately? is either a seeker or arma barb winning every week.
    How to play the game? 5.0 has the final say!!!

    balanced = making it into a class that anyone would be willing to play if it suits their play style. Not nerfing all the traits that you personally find irritating to you and cant work around with.

    Every class has their pros and cons. By your description, if i hadnt played the game before, id flock to being a seeker. Only to realize such fantasies dont occur unless i become that 5% of the servers top ranking gears b:surrender

    Well I agree the ability to transfer the defense level debuff could be changed that it cannot be QPQed, that in and of itself would fix a lot of things for people annoyed by seekers.

    Also the fact that seeker can increase their attack levels while decreasing their defense levels is not really OP or broken in my opinion since technically the penalty is the decreased def levels. After all Psychic's voodoos are basically the same thing. Nor do I agree their ability to decrease their targets attack/def levels via SM is OP.

    As much as a seeker can dish out huge damage with GoF crits their only fall back in the end is their lack of anti stun, which is what usually ends up getting them killed. And in all honesty the QPQ sacrificial slash set up is quite easily detectable unless your distracted in group PK.The only thing in my mind that is a pain is again the ability to QPQ sacrificial slash.

    And yes it is quite funny how seekers are now the new class to complain about. I so sure a few months back it was complaining about how underpowered they are.

    .

    Whenever I QPQ/sacrif slash combo onto someone, I always start with BA first for the channeling buff. Then using hot keys it doesn't take more than half second to debuff someone with that combo (particularly since QPQ has an instant cast). Then of course if sage QPQ the person is both debuffed and silenced and thus can't counter unless burn through genie or something.

    this +1 only way to block an inteligent seeker comboing is genie, because we can easily drop sac slash and quid in the blade affinity, +gemini and arme nier during BA and the silence of quid

    The key difference is that a Psychic can't transfer their defense level debuff. Sage Blade Affinity and Unfetter do the job well enough to keep out of stuns, and other debuffs for that matter. If Seekers couldn't zerk on metal skills, transfer SS's defense level debuff, or Edged Blur past damage resist then they wouldn't be OP. They'd be perfectly capable of landing kills but wouldn't be able to zerk crit 30ks from long range, which would be a lot more balanced.

    Then again this is PWI, if they were to nerf one class they'd end up breaking another. If they fix Seekers next thing we know we'll have Mystics one shotting people with plants.

Then of course if sage QPQ the person is both debuffed and silenced and thus can't counter unless burn through genie or something.

    Forgive me I did not clarify what I meant by 'easily detectable'. What I mean is for example in a 1v1 situation once you see the BA followed by SS or just in general SS anywhere in their combo, it is a pretty good indication the seeker is probably going for some kind of 1 shot or charm bypass, hence what I mean by easily detectable. And yes unless you are not stunned initially you will have no other option but to use your genie to shield against their combo or burn an apoth ->IF<- need be.

    In a group setting of course you really have to learn to pay attention to your buff tab to ensure you have not been hit with it, aka learning what the debuff icon looks like. But of course if you have already wasted your genie/apoth and are stunned and get hit with that combo. You can only pray you have enough survivability and the seeker does not land a GoF on you.

    As a heavy armour class 1v1ing a seeker, it is easy to forget you can make use of a very nifty genie skill called heart of steel(if I got the name right). It is basically Metal immunity for 8 seconds and can be spammed. If you see a seeker using that combo chances are they are planning to drop metal attacks which would make sense against HA. If they have already used Ion spike, battousai or Edged blur,you can consider yourself a little bit safer from that combo for about 30 seconds. All they would have left is Battousai and a few physical attacks which I don't believe would have the damage capable of dropping you fast enough give or take.

    As an arcane of course you just have be able to seal/stun the seeker given your opening to avoid that same combo but followed by Gemni/Arma Nier.Which in the process if you are stunned you will not be able to use your apoth/skills. The thing about seekers though again is they lack CC and anti stun abilities so keeping them pinned so you can kite is not a huge problem, especially if your a cleric. You can easily make use of Seal of the Gods and Sleep and in the process form your own opening for a combo.

    Again to comment on 1v1's, I notice sometimes people forget they can make more than 1 genie for any specific class they wish to target. And I believe for HA's heart of steel can work wonders against a seekers if your timing and openings are taken advantage of. Also if I am correct the genie skill Belief can purify the debuff+immune to debuffs for a few seconds, so that also might help.

    @Zanryu and yes as I said, the only thing I think that makes it a problem is the ability to QPQ the defense level debuff and could/should be changed.I Loled at 1 shotting with plants XD. thanks for that laugh :P.

    Also if anything I said above is inaccurate please correct meb:thanks.

    Psshh... people are making way too much hay over the defense lvls debuff alone without realizing that's only a fraction of what a smart Seeker can do to you.

    Crimson soul powder: 30% damage amp
    Sacrificial slash: 40+ Def level debuff
    Fortify: 50% reduction in magic defense from gear

    All 3 above can be QPQ' d on to you at the same time. Toss in additional 20% damage amp from EP and you've got one massive debuff that would put BM' s HF to shame. You probably won't even need a zerk crit on the above to one shot a Barb.

    Sac slash on a josd R999 seeker is a lot more.

    A normal R999 josd is like 85 defense level with 135 attack level.
    Seeker starts at that 85 then adds 35 def lev from sage buff and another 5 from krav maga for 125 defense lev. If they switch to omalley before sac strike thats 140 defense level. 40% of that is a 56 defense level debuff with a 28 attack level buff. Quid pro that and its a sudden swing of 84 attack levels.
    Quid Pro Quo is on a 30s cooldown and takes no chi.
    Sac slash is on a 30s cooldown and takes no chi.
    The -85% channeling instant cast buff is on a 30s cooldown and takes no chi.
    It's way too easy to derp all that together and get some BS 30k zerk crits off unsparked metal attacks.

    Hooray for being a cleric, I purify this sorta stuff off... well no actually I don't because with qpq I'd be sealed.

    One thing I'd like to train myself to do is to learn intuitively the animations and steps a seeker takes when prepping to qpq. If you can accurately predict when its coming, will surge before he qpqs. Then go for the stun/sleep/seal of your OWN... and if you do it right, the seeker is stuck with all the deadly dangerous debuffs he was about to give to you, lol! Pew Pew.

    If you will surge but he gets the qpq off anyways, go into avoidance mode. As a cleric, that would mean purify and plume shell. As an archer, leaps. As a sin, probably triple sparking. As a wizard, leap. As a psychic, that immune to physical dmg skill. As a bm, leap. As another seeker... qpq those deadly debuffs back to the seeker who gave em to you!. As a veno, 79 skill to become immune to dmg. As a mystic.... either 79 shell, or ... yeah I'd use salvation pet in a fight against seeker, put some shields onto yourself.

    Counters!

    Predictability!

    Yes seekers are dangerous when you aren't keeping an eye on them but geez, so is any class. If you don't watch that bm he'll hf you. Don't watch that wizard he'll genie spark > fire skills. Don't watch that psy will tear you apart with raw dmg... don't watch that mystic and he'll fire off some absorb souls... sin will triple spark dps you if you aren't watching... veno will purge, amp, suck your chi, then debuff your magic, physical defenses plus give you HF debuff... barb will arma you if you don't keep an eye on him... oh yes the cleric will do the healing debuffs which are actually incredibly dangerous.

    See what I mean?

    In the case of seekers their combo is always the same, so if you are fighting against just the seeker, you know exactly what he's gonna do, it doesn't matter how dangerous it is, if you know whats coming, you can always block it somehow. If you don't bother to take the time to devise strategies or prepare your genie to combat this one tactic, then you deserve to fall to it.

    Also, very important: quid pro quo has a ONE MINUTE cooldown, NOT 30s. Sacrificial slash can be used every 30 seconds, but without qpq it, its actually quite dangerous for seeker to use.

    full r9 +12 JOSD Seeker vs bezmor, WHO didn't even had full r9 gears that time :P
    Seeker has great def lvls esp with JOSD, and they got zerk crit too, but they can't do much vs a psy if psy use def charms and appropriate skills.
    I one shotted full r9 seeker with only stonesmasher lvl 100 psy skill, which was crit.... and so many other full r9 seekers, and got many times one shot by them too when they zerk crit and i'm in blackvoodoo..
    Seeker is an OP class, but can't really do much vs a sage psy with 50k+ SF, with over 13 sec stun skill ROFL. b:thanks

    Because no one can badge of courage out of the stun, or just anti stun before hitting the psy.
