  And yet its more attention than Lanns ever recieved from Nexon.
  
  I'm sure in another 2 years, GF might actually get an Invinc frame, or at the very least, Super armor

  
  
  If this game even makes two years with this company, lmao. And with that buff breaks every single other thing about Lann, which would take another two years to fix.

  I envision a future where lanns just constantly spam their jump attack to abuse GF. Being that every other attack Lann has is feces.
  
  
  Not sure if S2 helps with that.

  Its a shame we have nothing really worth using sp on. Slashing High if you're spears.
  
  Fury 7... ehh....

  
  
  Complaining about F7.
  
  lol

  I like it when it works.
  
  How about that?

  Sword lann is utterly pointless now unfortunately.
  
  
  He was meant to be the dodgey evasion character. But like many things, he's been bested in that too.

  Agreed. Which is why I'm going Spears for Season 2.

  Gliding Furies are still more satisfying than high buff Cross Stance Counters.
  
  Which is the only real reason to use Lann imo.

  
  That's kind of a sad reason. Well it's the only thing we got left other then fury infusion.
  
  About time they fixed the gust sting thing.

  And I like it when my Fiona's Shield Charge doesn't bug out and make me a sitting duck, my Reverse Gravities don't entirely miss a boss I'm right next to, and when my Blast buffs actually give me their buff.
  
  Pretty much every class has derp glitches and singling out Lann for them is silly, especially Furious Seven which is still, hands down, the overall best SP attack skill, excluding Kai since his SP skills are in a different category.

  ... a sad reason? Really? It's a sad reason that I still enjoy my sword Lann because of how his class works?
  
  And enjoy him just as much or more than Vella? Because yes, I have played Vella too and after awhile she gets pretty high up there on the monotony scale.

  Yeah, I was gonna say if anyone got screwed with SP skills, it's probably Fiona, but she also has some of the best non-Kai SP regen. For me, that still doesn't balance it out. S2 will fix this, though!
  
  I must admit, I don't know Karok well enough to know how his skills work out.
  
  Eagle Eye Assault is pretty silly.

  I never said other characters didn't suffer from this. I want them all fixed. I just typically avoid GF because it has the tendency to screw me over. The only skill I can say confidently that doesnt glitch out TOO much is Eagle Eye. Which is op as fuck.
  
  
  And bringing kai into this, is it me or does he have the best Stamina regen rate in game? It feels like his stam regen rate automatically starts at its best, while other characters are slow as fuck at stam regen.
  
  Not to mention he's the only class who's stam regens WHILE he's attacking. I kinda wish all classes had that.

  It's just this giving that's giving that illusion. It's the same.

  You need to either get a better connection or find better hosts then.
  
  It really isn't a consistent problem.

  I either party with Randoms, or I try to solo.
  
  PUGs can vary from bad connection to good.

  I've played Karok, I might be a terrible player but from my time playing him he has a [S]slow[/S] decent SP regeneration, which I think is made up for in the strength of his SP skills, Earthquake is a, I wouldn't say "fast", but only takes one hit and can hit up to about a bar, bar and a half on a normal level 60 dungeon. I think it also has an extremely high knockdown rate, along with the slowing down bonus (Although this only applies to minibosses and trash mobs.)
  
  Making a little note about Karok, he isn't as easy as you'd expect him to be, at least for Pillar. Absorb shock during attacks doesn't last the entire animation, instead it lasts just a tiny amount of time after you press the attack button. For his whirlwind SP skill thing that I forget the name of, I think the only time absorb shock can activate (Yes, you CAN get hit while using that skill) is right at the start of it, when you activate the attack itself. Absorb shock seems nerfed, and there is a large chance that anything glitchy or laggy will negate the absorb shock, even during the dodge, but something similar happens with other characters. It's killed me a few times. From what I can see with only two blind eyes, clashing does not give SP, and I think you can only hold the clash for about 10 seconds before you auto-lose the clash, but this might just be me.

  I thought you can only hold the clash as long as your Stam supports it?
• Yanm wrote on 2012-09-15 02:35
  No, it really is 10 seconds. My friend has tested this and I've seen him clash Ingkells for 10 seconds in trans and lose.

  Karok info.

  
  I have a Karok and I played him a while after he came out and a bit more later. I found him more forgiving than most characters especially in terms of survivability, both pillar and cestus but especially pillars. I just haven't gotten him to the point where I'm raiding daily or anything like that. So basically, I only have numbers to look at for SP skills.
  
  I'm not saying he's bad, but he isn't exactly the best at anything (foreignreign may argue survivability lol) and he's no Kai/Vella where he's so good at everything that it more than makes up for it.
  
  At some point we have to decide that everything is relative and Kai, Vella, Evie, Fiona and Lann all have at least one very good weapon. Is Karok supposed to be anything more than possibly above average in that scenario?
