Oh my sleep schedule's always messed up. I've been taking random naps for the past few days as it's reading week and I keep wanting to sleep after a bit of study.

You have your reasons, and they're good ones I'm sure, so I'm not going to push you to find out.

Well, I won't question it if you do. It's your decision to make.

Well sadly I do require sleep. And go to school. And do other normal things.

I'm not a weirdo you know~

Wasn't it just me spinning really hard in Keaghan? Cause you know, this game is totally sandbags.

But I'll get some SP numbers and smash timings for you later. I'm just feeling really lazy still and only working on my Vella for now. I'm mostly talking about my gut feeling when it comes to Fiona anyways - given that I've played Fiona for far longer than most people have been playing the game. It'd probably be best if I had more Evie, Kai, Karok, and Lann experience under my belt before I judged them - but really if I make an endgame character, I'm going to do it right.

And by right I mean getting to Lv. 40 trans within 3 months right. And I really just can't pull that off all too often. I really don't like half finished characters being called one of my mains.

Speaking of which, Trans Lv. 39. 1722/2000.
Yep. I play too much.

I honestly feel it's probably 30%-40%. I could go time things if I wanted to, but I really am too lazy to do that.
Most Fionas should end up with around 180-190 Stamina on an average build. Mine is inflated to 210 (220 at 80) for obvious reasons. 7 spins isn't a whole lot considering you usually need a baseline stamina value to avoid moves (usually I use 30-40, as it's two HS hits which works on 90% of bosses).

Trust me, Hammer Fiona has awful stamina problems, like cripplingly so. Also remember that Hammer Fiona only got minor buffs, which might've even been reverted (I saw some updated Fiona multipliers from when they buffed Scythe, I didn't read much into it sides some Blossom buffs). Virtually every other class has either been better (Kai, Vella, Spear Lann) or buffed significantly (Sword Fiona, Sword Lann, Scythe Evie) to the point that Hammer has fallen behind.

Remember, I had to play very aggressive on Hammer with trans on Keaghan to even beat your damage on Staff, and our offensive stats were comparable.

I missed debating these things with you, even if it was only a few days~

The stamina efficiency is awful. That's the issue, when you take about 25 stamina to do around 0.3, you're going to run dry fast. Compare that to say 18 stamina for 0.6, and so on. SP gain without blocks is awful, it's like 20 per spin max. I remember we considered that a possibility back in the day, but the game isn't the same as back when that possibility was reasonable.

Hammer Fiona only had potential cause the HS for 750 SP into SH spin2win facetank was a very valid option. Nowadays half the classes don't need SH to get that damage, and will get to SH faster. My Vella can perpetually keep SH up without running out of stamina in most scenarios. Scythe has perpetual IR to keep them full on stamina. Sword Fiona has Amaranth for amazing SP gain at low cost. Spears have FI. Really the only characters who have issues with stamina that I rank higher than Hammer are Sword Lann (who got massive Pummel Storm and GF/LF buffs) and Staff Evie (who is only higher for other reasons).

You're looking too much at optimal Hammer. Hammer doesn't ever get optimal setups - which is to say a sandbag, self perpetuating SH (fun fact - I can't spin for 11 seconds even in 2nd Stage without running out of Stamina - I'd need DK aura for that), and Focus stims to lower hit delay. I'm not denying sandbag Hammer Fiona with SH is one of the best DPS classes out there. What I am denying is that yes you really are spending most of your time not doing anything due to massive stamina issues.

It's not 90% of your time on unimportant smashes or blocking. It's 90% of your time waiting for your stamina to go back up.

I can't believe I'd ever go there, but I am.

I'm going to miss it if it does sell. I made it on November 24th, 2011. ;-;

Sitting at 300m now that I sold my Lakoria Fang for 210m. Hoping to get ~400m, maybe 500m, from the DWLS. If I can get 500 then I have a straight shot to the Peacock.

Granted I'm doing this now only because I know that S2E2 is looming over the horizon.

Dear god how. I just out damaged a 17k Vella with a 15k Sword Fiona on 7080 Lakoria. Like this shouldn't even be possible.
And we both trans'd, and I lost 1:20 of mine cause I got eaten.

And like. How.
Like you can't even say class advantage (cause I just have more anecdotal evidence from me playing my Vella) or skill, skill does not make up for having 3k effective versus 5k.
