    r9 archers tend to get more kills in NW than r9 seekers, though both hit like a boss. seekers can be a bit harder to play because of the variety of combos available. you will probably both die more and kill more as an archer, but you will survive a lot more hits/be able to carry the flag better as a seeker.

    overall i think archers perform better in terms of supply tokens.

    same situation that applies to NW can apply to other pk/tw.

    Whichever you like more.

    From experience, an archer is quite underwhelming when your opposition is the same endgame-y level as you. Still more fun, in my opinion, than most other classes.
    Proving that not only archers do math since 2009. b:victory

    Seeker. Reason?

    One Combo that destroys everything: (Sage plz)

    Blade Affinity (~instant channel buff) + Sacrificial Slash + Sage Ion Spike + Fortify (lvl 1 plz, Genie Skill) and then transfer that stuff with Quid pro Quo to your enemy.

    Use Heartseeker or Battousai afterwards and if you land a zerk crit you will see hits like 30k+ on your enemy (if your enemy is self buffed only or purged ofc)

    You can add some crimson powder stuff for even more dmg to this. One-shotting 50k HP Barbs is no problem with the right seeker played by the right player.

    As a side note: This combo becomes most effective when you got max def lvl. Means full Jade of steady Defense and the best if you use a def leveled r8rec weapon too.

    Archer can't pretty much do anything on equal geared players while the seeker combo will even one-shot max geared other classes in the mentioned conditions. But even if they are buffed you still deal extreme dmg.

    PS: How can you figure out if a seeker is fail or not? When he/she uses gemini slash in 1on1s xDD useless skill.

    i was buffed but thats not the point... a seeker for its supposed meta its not supposed to land such hits...
    can i qq on sin meta too? sin should not be able to 1-2shot faceroll anyclass from stealth while having hacks like sage tidal... sin should be a fast channelling CC skillspam class not a melee derpmachine

    You can hit with a r9r2 +12 Seeker like 50k zerk crits on player, so the dmg you received was like nothing xDD even with g16 dual sword they could hit more then that^^

    ya the problem is the meta. All got high refined weapons and can dish out lots of dmg but can't take dmg. Playing a sin means playing careful. Attacking ppl from out of nowhere and then going back to stealth. If you've got like full+12 gears those sins would be just like pitty flies. Actually you just have to get them somehow.

    1 or 2 hits are usually enough to kill them. Everyone and everthing are glass cannons now these days >.<
