Seeker more balence in PK

what gear are you using..

He's talking about a seeker's lack of control skills.

Seekers get voidstep, qpq, heartseeker, parchblade+stalag proc, rewinding gesture for voidstep and that's about it, save for occult ice or something. None of them are pargicularly long lasting or super reliable. Voidstep is a spark stun for 3 seconds compared to bm drake bash for lol, 7.5 sec if demon. Parchblade doesn't have to proc when you want it to and as grim said stalagstrike could just miss.

Edit: pk is very different from mass pvp

beside the stance messing with heartseeker and ion spike procs, seeker skill are pretty damn fine in my opinion. if you cannot control someone as a seeker, there is a prob.

heartseeker freeze last 7 sec on a 15 sec cooldown, that is a brutal long range control i think... only if you play smart and stay at range. Controling bm and barbs is easy has a seeker and sage unfetter make it hard for them to control us. arcane class, its just staying close to them and having parchedbladed stance on and procing it often. (said stance can be proced faster then most bm stuns)

b:bye so yeah, if you have a problem with seeker control skills, try to combo more the skills and keep your distance. Voidstep range make it viable to kite out of caster range so you can jump bakc on them after they waste their genie catching up to you or their sparks

Before I left the game, seekers became one of the most OP class in pvp due to qpq, massive rebuff transfers, and zerk crits that would hit a full refined r9 cata barb in tw for 200k damage. For wiz best I saw was 94k could be higher now but still no where near a seeker. Did they nerfed seeker skills or is the OP inexperienced in pvping?

The things you could do

Seeker to OP Flail just 1 hits most stuff

Just for reference, here's my experience from last night.

We were in TW against a fairly equally geared faction. A few ultra-geared R9 players, but most of them were R8, R8r, and moderate G14-16.

I'm sitting on my seeker and for the most part, my battles were either 1 vs 1, me vs 2 or 3, or I was supporting other group attacks.

In the majority of the 1 vs 1 battles, as long as I wasn't stupid enough to go up against the R9 Psy, Seeker, or a couple of their barbs whose gear I didn't really take the time to look at, (Although I could have, those battles lasted a minute or two), it was a pretty simple battle. Stun, attack, stun, they die.
In the slightly better geared opponents, it was Stun, attack, stun, get sealed/debuffed/poisoned/whatever, QpQ, they die.
No I didn't win all of the battles, there were a couple of archers that knew how to use BV and kite me properly, and I usually lost those if I couldn't get close in fast enough. Seeker vs seeker is always fun, and it's hit or miss with skills and crits on an even battlefield.

Sins were super easy. Find, target, Voidstep, attack and they fall over.

When I died, most of the time it was because of the following reasons...
1. I was stupid and got stuck in range of a tower. Couldn't keep up with damage/stuns from the tower and the opponent I was working on.
2. Casters hitting me for just a wee bit more HP than I had.
3. Veno purge and a lucky archer/BM/seeker.
4. Three of them on one of me. always seemed to be the same BM/Barb/Archer combo, which was kinda fun. Ignore the barb, take out the Archer, focus on the BM, and either die, or support would arrive to I could hop out and recover. Usually I would die as the support was dealing with another larger group.

It was an awesome 3-hour battle, and I got to try a few different tactics out on various classes. Because the gear differences wasn't huge it made for a very educational night. I only wish I had thought to record the entire battle so I could segment it out for some tutorials.

Also, just for reference, I'm still using the Divine Comprehension +6, and +5 TT90 green with a full load of immaculate citrines. My hp buffed was at 10.8k.

i have been playing seeker for some time now, and to me it seems seeker have a bit, if not alot of a disadvantage in PK. it balence that a bit more i would like some of the seeker skills changed just a bit

●Quid Pro Quo silence to 5 sec/ same as what most class's got

Last Stand change cooldown to like 60 sec, most class's got some kind of defence skill that got like 30 or 60 sec cooldown

the biggest change has to go to the seeker status buff when it proc on a player it shouldnt beable to get purityed by the r9rr caster weapon/cleric purity/●Bubble of Life(mainly the weapon proc)

and when a status is used in tandem with it's activting skill it should have 100% accuracy


feel free to add your thought on this

　

*impersonates anime face* WHAAAAAA!? No seriously... I really think their disadvantages are so ridicolously unnoticeable is isn't even funny.

They are by far imho the most oped/powerful "melee" class available in game. Give me a seeker anyday over a barb, sin and espeically a bm... when it comes to be able to actually do something in mass pvp. (unlike any of those three classes they can survive quite well, as well as do quite a decent amount of damage regardless or who their opponent is, be it an melee, caster, or even another seeker.)

Again one of the most useful tools in this game/any game/place where there are attacks happening... ranged + decent/superior fire power wins out any day of having to get up close. (Look at what happen to the medieval times... once people started realizing how useful/overwhelming guns were they took over... aka their range + superior damage won out)

Sure there may be a few things that would make them even more useful, but I really think they're fine as is.

Also while this may have been pointed out already... (as some of my post has likely already done the same) the status effects... just be glad they don't cost chi, and most have quite a reasonable cooldown period. (it's super annoying how that proc purify's hfs/gs/other debuffs off of them.... 2 sparks wasted is such BS... especially when they CAN miss... albeit only rarely that still can miss... its really quite sickening/maddening.)

EDIT: My seeker isn't even in end game gear, and I do just fine on it imho.. .one thing is for sure I am far more relaxed on it than my bm. (both had compareable gear when I made this observation... neither was charmed, nor did I use apo on either/any of my characters.)

that is with buffs baalbak
