Succession Sage right now is no more than a large-scale PVP slave. He does very horrble in every other aspect of the game, which is fine, but to be horrible at PVE is too much for those who want to main the class.

(coming from a succession main, btw. This is how bad succession is at PVE, bottom tier.)

In order to make a slow-moving, slow-casting class viable in PVE, it needs to be compensated with more damage. (PVE only)

Here are my list of ideas, they don't necessarily need to be completely followed.

___________________________________

Revert 50% PVE crit nerf to Form Shift, add 25-50% PVE crit to Spatial Fissure, Illusion Expansion, and Ator's Palm.

Increase PVE damage on slow-casting skills, without changing PVP damage.

(Ator's Energy, Atomagia, Void Gateway, Spatial Collapse)

Ator's Energy is our T3 addon to use. Please rework Ator's Energy and Gravity Rift. 

Allow Atomagia to be added in quick-slot. It already has a split addon, make it usable separately.

Prime: Spearbolt: Allow other skills to quickcast from it, and fix the gap at the end. (or rework entirely, another useless skill)

Dimentional Compression: Fix this skill. The first attack doesn't register when used after certain skills like Spatial Collapse.

Realm of Anguish: Rework this skill or make it attract PVE aggro like red orb.

(VERY IMPORTANT) Rift Chain:  Fix its massive hitbox in the trail. This sage has +700GS and still dies in 1 shot due to a bug!!! Sage is squishy, being slow and lacking forward guards in his attacks should be rewarding, hence the above suggestions.

^^ In PVP it is a huge problem too, the hitbox can cause Sage to get grabbed from far away.

Thank you for reading (*^▽^*) ! 

For the sake of boosting pve performance, only an across-the-board damage buff will help. All of Succession Sage's skills deal average or below average damage, all the while being of far below average speed = terrible dps = terrible clear speed = bottom of the barrel income.

Awakening Sage on the other hand, who is infinitely faster, has proper damage on almost all of his skills. I am afraid Pearl Abyss takes the strong E-Buff of Succession Sage as justification (which boosts his damage to average), but 15-20 minutes of average  grind per hour still makes more a bad grinder... so...

on hexe awa sage is borderline broken op, isnt it? :D

Wouldn't say broken. Awk sage is rank 7th best in Choice's tier list.  While Succ Sage is in the same tier as awk wiz/witch at the bottom. So help your fellow slow caster with an upvote, will ya?

(I'd disagree that awk sage is "good for everything", due to his limited stamina, makes him viable for limited spots)
