2. Hammer Fiona's don't do well in bossing at all. They either miss opportunities so that they can live, or die so they do more damage.
Have... have you seen any decent hammer Fionas play?
A good hammer Fiona will easily get #1 damage against a boss like Thor, even with staff Evies in the party.

I guess you're right that I'm just talking about dps. &Yeah butterfly is powerful... too powerful.

I don't necesarily agree with completely removing a smash. Most classes have a fairly useless smash that nobody ever uses anyways.
I think it's unfair for a 3 hit smash to go to waste.

The trend has been previously UP weapon types (specifically staff and hammer) becoming the most OP through revamps. I'm hoping for the other weapon types to get similar revamps that would eventually put every weapon type on an equal playing field.
One of the proposed fixes (from guild) I heard was giving Lann vamp to heal himself up.

Yeah I wish every weapon to be equal. But psht, not gonna happen.
Even if it were to come true, then Spear lanns would "QQ" again about how they are supposed to be the best at DPS.

Am I the only one who thinks Ivy Sweep is great?
Or is it because I'm LVL 4x?

At least Spear Lann is currently highest DPS. (As long as they aren't dead.

It's because you're still in level 4xs. From boat 4 and boat 5, you'll notice that the ranged monsters will begin to interrupt your combos, and monsters with a large melee range will be able to hit you while you build up that long, six hit combo. PG becomes useless when mobbed in great amounts, and when fighting mobs in a party, you'll find it will take more time for you to kill one than the party could kill 10.

With episode 8, hammer fiona and sword fiona get a follow up smash after their LR. The follow up attack is basically a step forward and 180 degree sweep. Just figured it was relevant.

It looks so slow in the video (sword fiona). Very unappealing

I think the Hammer buff has brought out swords flaws a lot more. Sure, with a skilled player pre-patch the two were roughly even, however swords have always been pretty gimped IMO.

A hybrid here to say that sword is almost completely outclassed by hammer with the exception of utility such as ballista... I'm still a swordie at heart, so I'm QQing right now about why I'm using a hammer all the time now just to match the team in usefulness when I'm so much better with sword.
