@loxiona Indeed that second fan is so important... It's astonishing to see 6.5k int kannas that can buff up and reach 2m~2m.

@Savaah Yea probably. However, more people are starting to see the potential kannas have, which is nice

@CherryTigers Exactly. That's why you have people like the OP saying what they're saying. [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuMg1FtnJX5edEZUWWNQN3BveV9leHMtWVF6cjdpSUE&usp=sharing#gid=0]Misinformation[/url] has done a number on kanna since it started. Also, I can't tell you how many people train to 150+ and still don't realize they can equip a second fan, that practically doubles(or more) their damage output.

@loxiona: People say kaisers are weak too. Are they weak? No way at all.

People call them weak because they are misinformed.

And to the first person that said BaMs are worse, BaM's DPS is quite fast and they're MUCH more adaptable in boss situations.

Idk where you guys have been, but kannas have had a reputation of being pretty weak for a pretty long time. Seeing comments [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2881254/2/#46416287]like this[/url] are still pretty common. Kanna is nothing more than a kishin/link mule to a lot of people still.

Kannas were never said to be weak.
I considered playing Kannas before as well as Lumis before I finally settled with my fire poison mage.

The only thing that bothered me about kannas is that their vanquisher's charm had too long of an exit delay that could only be alleviated by their godawful teleport. It felt too limited/bulky to me. Kanna's damage is quite good, no one will deny kannas that. It's simply their long delays. Even in this video, you'll see the kanna constantly get knocked back when pierre's in purple hat simply because kanna's vanquisher charm has that long delay. Other mages actually tele-cast and dodge, which makes the gameplay feel more fast paced.

I won't deny kanna's prowess in bosses such as hell gollux though. Kannas are a force to be reckoned with kishin to mob and barrier set-ups.
I did enjoy kanna's tankiness since they do a much better job in things such as v2 empress vs fire poison mage but nonetheless, the FP mage gameplay simply won my heart.

Never were weak imo. And with the moving vanq we'll get, we might even be a little op since we have
1. 2 binds
2. Moving hurricane
3. Spawn rate
4. Avoid a lot of attacks and heal bc of hakus blessing (has saved me multiple times in gollux)
5. Decent mobbing
6. Always wanted in parties
7. Ints pretty cheap
