Light armor seekers

Honestly though, AA isn't weak, it's just weak pdef. The only classes worth considering it for are cleric, mystic, wizard, veno, and psy. The first three have direct pdef boosts, veno has foxform, speed, and can spec reasonably for HA, and psy has white voodoo instead.

Above all else though, AA and HA both have one major advantage. They have a major strength, and ONE low end to fill. Much easier to handle reliably, much easier to fill the gap with apoth and/or ornaments when necessary, or just to adjust strategy to minimize when that's necessary. LA is mediocre on both ends, usually using phys ornaments due to interval to fill one of two gaps.

It's common knowledge LA just isn't preferred for survival. Doesn't mean the two LA classes are bad, but they're not survivors, and using that armor on other classes just ends up lending the same problem.

That is the nature of la or mid grade gear and you will find that in any rpg. It is a balance of both pdef and mdef any other way would negate the reason for the gear in the first place.

this is what my seeker will be like when i am finished. All i need to get is the sword and chest the rest is from my barb and sin. I traded out the la hat and int lunar cape for my barbs set for better defenses. Most of the refines at this moment are mostly 7-10, with the hat and cape at 6 and 5. By the time I level the seeker, i will have the other gear refined to 10 and sharded.

Not bad for a seeker with half of its gear la. The main loss if i just used the lunar cape and la hat is the hp bonus and a bit more vit and str. I do not have a ha chest, my barb is r8r so I decided to use the ha g16 niv chest to add some more hp and pdef. The sword I just threw in there, I have no idea which I will use, I have not looked that much in to it. I may just do the warsoul weapon. I am farming nw for one, just never decided which toon to do it on psy, seeker or barb. With the amount of vit and hp this toon will have I could very well switch out some of those stones for mag def ones to balance out my m/p def more

This is with full buffs all sage or level 10

Its not bad really. Your attack and Def level bonuses come out around what a full G16 nirvy seeker would be at. pdef and mdef bonuses from the vit stones are a nice bonus, though I will say you're lacking in pdef there still. True you have higher HP, but if you're vortexing in a group of mobs (delta, lunar, pv) you'll probably want to swap out for more pdef so you take smaller hits and heal better from BP.

Is how my seeker looks currently (defenses and hp are higher from meridian bonuses though). Still need to work on HP refines (don't have as much as your planned build) and a cube neck + higher refines on those, to boost my mdef.

Have you considered getting some Signs of Frost: Chaos or Sky Cover refined up, in order to boost your pdef?

i personally wouldnt go LA, mostly because you cant really upgrade past awakened gear, even if you get the money to. I would rather stick with HA and have my future gear improvement open.
