Pros and Cons of Wa?

I'm deciding to main a WA and I wanted to know the pros and cons of wa. I know their 1v1 skill is really good. How high up are they in the dps charts? Also, what are the best char cards for WA other then kanna/hayato? (don't want to make them) Thanks a lot!

If that was true, 100% of the population would be WA

I never crash by using Wind Walk. What are you talking about?

If you take the time and effort to get link skills and whatnot, WAs have great survivability and get 100% stance through the mihile link.
My WA at 172 without decent HB has about 16k HP.

Bolded - that isn't a con, its more useful then it is a hindrance.
Italics - The health is not particularly low, its quite decent amongst archers, and coupled with the high damage reduction, is not an issue.
Last one - They can, although not as easily as in kms, its the same as how you could do jump + strafe/snipe or jump + dragon strike (bucc). It just requires timing.

@megaf6
It isn't a glitch, both the initial hit of Spiral Vortex and the splash damage are supposed to have the 100% knockback, its just the splash damage KB occasionally occurs during the initial KB, resulting in said super KB.

Spiraling Vortex's Super Knockback

Con:
Spiraling Vortex's Super Knockback[/quote]

Omg this

The knockback is great for forming mobs, but it can also glitch and do a double-knockback which splits your mobs up. Also, Spiraling Vortex is a horizontal skill, meaning it doesn't move at all. It's great for flat maps, but any changes in elevation make this skill hard to use.

Damage is great, mobbing is really good. Mobility is great as well. Only thing I wish for this class is some sort of stance

I feel like I have enough HP. At level 150 I have roughly 11k.

Also, the splash damage from Spiral Vortex will shoot the mobs to the other side of the map. The knockback in itself isn't that bad, it's the splash.
