  • I have around 2k mana, and the only thing I noticed in delta is that higher level mana auras just let you hold vortex for a few more seconds without having to constantly pot to hold it up. It lets you conserve your pots more, if anything. This is me not using an mp charm though, but I think a charm may be able to hold you…
  • Good thing you have some of its best moments on video to remember it by :P.
  • *bump* Anyone know where I can go to ask a mod to review this guide for sticky status? There's a lot of threads being made by players lately about seeker build choices, so I'm hoping this guide will catch their attention. Feel free to ask questions in this thread if you're lost. I'll be glad to help b:thanksb:victory,
  • Technically, from their own skills, they cannot heal until 79. However, you can compensate for this easily by using genie heal skills (like second wind or tree of protection) and/or by creating apothecary like life powders (restores 50 hp per second for 10 mins). Honestly, last stand is practically useless compared to the…
  • The creator of this thread is no longer maintaining it, so some of the information may be lacking or out of date. However, feel free to browse through my guide here for more information and I will gladly answer your questions, too b:pleased.
  • If you need a bit of explanation on stat points, I offer my guide here as a guideline of the differences between stat point setups. One of the reasons the few above dislike VIT in builds is because they know the game enough where they are 100% sure they won't need it. They are probably getting hp boosts from gear (which is…
  • There is no specific best build for ALL seeker players. I've explained the whole concept of seeker build versatility in my guide here if you want a more thorough explanation about what to do about your stat points.
  • Back in the lower levels, I used to think we didn't need holy path because of our two running skills. Man, was I wrong b:chuckle. In higher level PvE, it's nice to have because you want to be in the frontline as much as possible to assist the tank(s) in clearing the path ahead for the team. Compared to the BM run skills,…
  • The skill description here for demon soulsever minuet specifies that it MUST be triggered by demon gemini slash (you can tell by the "o" sign). If you look at the regular soulsever minuet, it specifies that it must be triggered by the regular gemini slash.
  • My situation with my seeker was the same as vristion's. It's not really the HP that matters, it's how well you can manage the damage you receive as you do your pulls. Honestly, my sockets are **** (I use flawless) b:sad, but the thing that really helps in your pulls is BP + vortex (and other survival buffs). Follow…
  • Yeah, it happens when I do that, too. It's almost like falling down on a trampoline and coming right back up. I find it somewhat comical when you do it while someone is duel-punching you for chi, though. Them: *punch* You: *fall over and get back up instantly* Them: *punch* You: *fall over and get back up instantly*…
  • You need a minimum of 5 STR/3 DEX per 2 levels, so you get an extra point per level (you get 10 allocatable points in 2 levels; only 8 are required for gear, while 2 are your choice to use). "What has worked for some people" is what expectations those people had of their own capability of playing the class. I suggest…
  • Blacksmith = weapons Tailor = armor Craftsman = belts, necklaces, and rings Apothecary = pills, remedies, etc.
  • The only feasible rule in duels I think is not allowing the use of genies or other external assistance aside from your own skill set (like apothercary and hp pots). Anything else is just not much of a duel at all. You might as well sit there and let him beat on you if that's the case. I think this problem goes beyond…
  • The guide has been updated! b:victory -added descriptions for skill use -added FC tips -refined builds section -various other edits I can't remember b:surrender
  • I'm actually planning to add detail on that tonight during maint. Stay tuned! b:victory
  • Yep, this class has a lot of freedom for that purpose. The str/dex goes up to minimal requirements for what you want to equip in the upcoming levels and the rest of the points is where creativity happens. b:pleased After reading many posts related to build design discussions, I feel that I should help explain the process…
  • This is true for the BM, and it does limit their options (if they want to multipath), sadly. I personally went with 3/2 for a balance between crit rate and damage. The two free points we get per level is pretty nice for this class and gives us a ton of flexibility, so each player can decide what they want to add on to…
  • Technically, for the most part, damage comes from skill use (especially skills like vortex and gemini slash). STR would benefit only regular attacks or the base damage + add-on attacks like stalagstrike. Following the pattern of "pure" builds, I would define pure as following minimal equipment requirements and enhancing…
  • That's not me, lol. I did not suggest for someone to follow the formulas up to lvl 100. My guide suggests (clearly in the builds section) for people to start with a formula until they figure out the gear that they want. b:chuckle I've been using the 3str/2dex build with some limits and will add VIT when I reach those…
  • You can keep up vortex fine with herb yuanxiao, given the fact that you use one every time you get the chance if you want to keep vortex up. Make sure your mp is full or near full when you cast vortex and use herb yuanxiao every 10 seconds u want to keep vortex up. herb yuanxiao -> restores 5000 mp in 10 seconds vortex ->…
  • Wow, I'm impressed reading the success stories here. I can't wait to get to 100 on my Seeker (currently level 96 as I write this and usually a primary FC target when I log on lol) b:victory. On my server, there have been some rare requests for a Seeker option in Nirvana announced in world chat, and I hope that may change…
  • I'll honestly admit that I haven't done all that much research for the late-game Seeker gear b:surrender, which is why I left a note on that portion encouraging readers to do their own research. My seeker is currently level 95, borrowing my BM's TT90 (waiting for Seeker to reach 99, so I can transfer TT99 armor for a…
  • When you get to 90, once you get to a certain part of your oht culti chain, you will have a daily quest that allows you to get 4 tears of heaven. If you harvest materials in oht or do a lot of 3-x bosses, you should have plenty of golden sculptures or luminostones. A certain amount of each allows you to make an oht wrist…
  • I use drop pots/genie primarily during questing or small grinding. I try as much as I can to reserve crabs/herbs for big stuff like soloing bosses, FC, BH, etc. Personally, I've never really bought pots. From 1-74, I was mostly using life powder apothecary with genie to heal when it came to questing/grinding. I liked life…
  • I agree. Seekers already have fast reacting spam attacks, so -chan can help with skills like Gemini Slash. I don't remember which thread mentioned it, but high level seeker players were claiming that -10% chan was an effective minimum for the longer channeling skills and vortex. I believe they used the calm robe with -6%…
  • I pretty much highlighted the benefits in the guide, but basically, in exchange for the high damage per hit of Sage, demon adds utility to some of its skills. For example, Demon Rocksplitting cleave has a chance to spike chi up by 50, Demon Battousai gets an extra 5 chi per hit, Demon Stalagstrike gets a bleed effect,…
  • Your VIT link seems to have less HP than your current build b:laugh EDIT: Here's a recurring rank gear setup from seeker posts showing high HP with no VIT: http://pwcalc.com/953cb09525f56f27
  • -If I made it look like staggering strike and stalagstrike aren't worth maxing, that was not my intent. I simply put it in red for the purposes of conserving some coin/spirit early game as that section was just about prioritizing. I do use those skills frequently, but the base damage it deals are enough at the higher…
  • I've personally started nirvana with just gorenox vanity fists, and that was mostly with friends I've made in FC and close alliance friends. Sure, I did not have high APS, but I had mastered my HF and GS timing with their sparks. Eventually, I made enough coin from nirvana splits, bh100, TTs, and other farming methods to…
