Winter 39 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 So this class has been neglected from the get go; a lot of garbage expert skills, rag doll in pvp, no significant buffs to fix their downfalls and all around frustrating with mana changes, insanely high mana consumption AND accuracy (as it's a melee class) being heavily required. I'm just going to spitball a couple changes to improve the class as played it since released exclusively, feel free to chime in or add your own input. Base Skills Splitting this skill is fine, with the last update boosting it's damage and lowering cooldown, can't complain Harad's Shield Honestly also fine, the shield is like paper and is usually broken in 1 attack anyways just means your damage buff is available after one hit. Adding a low to medium chance to evade melee attacks at 5/5 at a percentage or control effects if the shield can absorb more damage would be welcomed. But it can stay as is in my opinion also *Cosmetics; change the effect to be more subtle so it's not a giant disco ball Inspiration Great skill but should raise either accuracy or attack speed as the skill develops also as seekers significantly lack those stats Disappearance Also no major complaints *Cosmetics; change the smoke to more like a teleport fx or lightning like inspiration, it is a paladin after all (not too picky on this just saying) Exacerbation This one should be changed a bit where at higher levels it has a chance to see cloaked characters but only temporary example; 3/5 show hidden enemy targets within 4 yards for 2 seconds, repeats every 8 seconds after example; 5/5 show hidden enemy targets within 6 yards for 3 seconds, repeats every 6 seconds after This would help a lot in pvp vs cloaked classes and wars and adjust current play styles *Cosmetics; is a smaller circle or effect too much to ask for? *Mechanics; Lower the insanely long activation and deactivation time of the skill, it's infuriating, also relics are useless with it as it is @Exa mechanics; consider continuous relics as long as the skills of classes with these abilities are up instead Expert Skills Sun Nets All good no issues Solar Power Again no major mechanics issues fair trade offs *Cosmetics; Semi copied Mage effect, can we get something new please? Splitting Blow Would rather this be a short ranged attack (2 yards) or maybe even long ranged to slow targets down, as melee can be blocked/dodged/parried so ya Its effects else wise are fine Bloodthirst Also fine skill, instant which is good but i didn't touch on like all seeker skills mana consumption could be altered Attraction Okay this is useless, by the time you pull (and there is a casting delay) and the target is immobilized the debuff wears off before you can even get one good attack in. Give it the exact same activation as the harpoon skill from the spring event where there was no delay and maybe add a bleed but no slow as a debuff versus the increased damaged with the copied DK skill effect *Cosmetics; Redo the whole look just unsalvagable Inner Rage Useless passive, by the time it activates you're basically dead, change the whole thing Either a mana restoring skill to benefit pve, remember leveling this will limit other skills you can add points to Or a skill similar to rogues old absolute reflexes to benefit pvp which would evade "only" ranged attacks (note not control effects) This would allow seekers a chance to actually get within range of others rather than being kited to death by bows and magic Exhaustive Blow So useless it's not even funny, I have no solution for this maybe replace it entirely Perhaps a short range aoe debuff that will lower cd, dodge of targets in range for a bit Dangerous Blow I guess all classes still need one useless skill, we'll appoint this one ours, high energy expensive, low damage, ya That's it, won't hold breath for changes but if introducing new pvp content, try to balance the scales of power fairly Zurp and Poggers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zurp 462 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Yeah, I agree with most of them aswell. Seeker really lacks accuracy and atk speed. And I would like to see a skill that does damage to seeker himself so the shield wouldnt be useless in most of the dungeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodthirst need to have crt heal when the skill crt. As a fighter class, Dodge skill would be much appreciated for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
