After getting to level 21 and seeing firsthand how little survivability lann has, i want to ask a question....should i just stop playing him Make a Fiona and trade my rage/savage sets to my alt then start maining her?
I have read so much about lann in the past few days...honestly its depressing knowing that lann is the hardest, one of the weakest, and the easiest to die class, and when my fiona gets stronger, i can just trade my rage/savage sets back to my lann if they ever buff him.
I really do not like the idea of restarting since im already level 21, but i figure better now than later when im level 40+ and it would actually hurt me to start over and not just be an annoyance.
Tl;Dr
Should i put my open beta lann to rest and start over with a fiona.

i was told hammer? fiona was one of the best characters you could use, super defense, extremely high offense.
And for me female character looks better then super muscle dude.

*takes a shotgun to your head* Good riddance >.>
Anyways fionas are extremely capable of tanking heavy hits, plus she has a sparta kick which is beyond any kind of damage a human could do... (imagine how buff her quads and hamstrings are o.o)
Long story short fiona is better imo

Lann isnt really bad, alot of his players are just bad! With fiona you can turtle, evie you can mana amber its "easy" I main a fifi with a staffie on the side and I would have to say Fiona is fun with the dreamwalker +10'd, heck any +10 weapon will make one heck of a difference. Im never going hammer....
I would get opinions on how players of end game characters of the class feel about their character, and make a choice based on that. Or... you can commit to Lann and become the US's equiv of Raidhunter >3

Please do not bandwagon Fiona. I hate to sound mean here, but your Lann is level 21. You are fighting things like Kobold Chief and White Tyrant for crying out loud. If you can't survive there with Lann, you can't survive there with a Fiona. Also, level 21 and from Open Beta? What did you do, quit for the last 7 months?
I'm really getting tired of all of the Lann hate, and the Fiona bandwagoning. If anything SPEAR Lann has bad survivability, not sword. Besides, the survivability thing doesn't even come into play until at least Boat 6, right now as I mentioned, you'll be bad no matter what character you pick up. It just takes practice.
In closing...please go play Karok. I heard he has some OP skills!

Lann has good survivability up until Irukul. Well actually Irukul is really just the first bump in road. His survivability really only starts sucking against Boat 6/Titan-ish and Boat 7.
Sword Lann, at least.

Super muscle dude has his advantages too.
Absorb shock, anyone?

kill the lann, honestly lvl 21 is nothing and easy to get back to. if your wanting major defence and offense, roll a staff evie. mana amber + mana shields + long range high damaging spells. i think Karok would be second best in the defensive department. he has more stam, HP, and when attacked he takes more to stagger plus he can pretty much negate all damage with absorb shock. then after that would be Fiona and in terms of damage go hammer, sword isnt the best in damage. Lann is so far outclassed by all the others, he is an absolute waste of time.

Slip Dash is pretty pro for sword Lann, you can dodge almost every attack . I dislike Lannmowers (Spear Lanns) due to the fact of how ridiculous it looks spinning with two combined spears.
