If I remember, the Seeker suffers a bit on AC, but you can pick up the Hide Specialisation feat early on, to add your CON bonus (as a Dwarf I normally have CON 16+) to your AC when in Hide Armour, giving you a great AC for a character who [should be] quite a distance from the front line (and therefor more likely to have cover/concealment). I intend my next LFR character to be a Dwarven Seeker, after playtesting one in a one-shot adventure last week.

A lot of people have complained about the name. I'm quite okay with it, but I'm curious to what else they could have called in just a single word. Archer sounds more like a martial class. Scout would have been a pretty underwhelming name and associated with the original 3rd Edition version. Glad to see you agree!

The Seeker - while I dislike the name - fills a beloved nice in the fantasy genre. I've been toying around with a Drow ranger handcrossbow 'pistoleer' or 'gun-fu' sort of build, but now maybe I'd like to try it with the Seeker instead. Absolutely with you on this one.
