Ask a Magician Thread.

Training: Decent. Mobbing skills are good, but there is no way to regenerate Mana other than waiting (or Potion Pot, does that still work?), so you'll be falling back on Shikigami Haunting a lot.

Bossing: Not very high damage output, but having two Binds is a major plus, along with having Bellflower Barrier for that extra %Boss (if it works, who knows what Nexon has done to the Sengoku classes).

Survivability: Haku's Foxfire mitigates a lot of damage, but Haku can only cast it every once in a while (30 seconds or 60 seconds in between casts, I forget). They also get Blossom Barrier which is -30% damage, but the range is fairly small. Decent for bossing, not so much for training.

Mobility: Ether Pulse has a fairly large range. Nothing terrible like pre-RED Buccaneers, but not top-tier like Xenon or Angelic Buster.

Ease of Funding: Most fans are quite a bit cheaper in comparison to weapons that more popular classes use (2H Swords, Whip Blades, etc.). %INT is also fairly cheap compared to the other stats, but it can be quite hard to find.

I think you covered essentially everything, and yes, Kannas are amazing to have in bossing parties (2 binds, Bellflower Barrier, blah blah). Bishops aren't even that useful any more, since a lot of bosses rely on Death Counts, and Wheels of Destiny are a thing.

There's no potion pot in msea. What does it do anyway? :f6:

For bossing, are they average compared to other classes or as horribly weak as merc and pre-RED phantom?

Oh yeah, forgot to ask: is kanna able to negate physical resistance from bosses like archmages/lumi/evan/windbreaker/post-RED pally/striker?

Survivability-wise, does it mean that kanna relies on HP just like battle mage? How high is her HP?

Few things to add to the decent list above:

• Bellflower Barrier does work fully as intended these days.
  
• Foxfire nullifies status effects (including seduce, pote lock, transform, etc.) as well as some 1hko attacks (e.g. arkarium's full screen 1hko), do not underestimate how useful this is especially if your %status resist is low, which Kanna's is. Foxfire is basically the only reason I can stay alive and deal mostly consistent damage at most end-game bosses.
  
• Ether Pulse has one of the largest vertical ranges in the game for a teleport skill (we're talking basically off your screen both up and down).
  
• End-game fans are annoying to find and even more annoying to scroll, and chances are you'll be scrolling your own.
  
• Kanna and Hayato, other than Hypers, haven't been revamped since release and show no signs of being revamped in the future. This might leave them at a damage disadvantage in the future, in the face of KMS's aggressive revamp schedule.
  

So, is there still bug with kanna now?

Nice effect from foxfire. Does it also work against %HP attacks?
