Updated Ideas Thread here: Shai Needs Buffs!!
Repost from the old Kakao forums. Year2: The Changes Shai Deserves! | Black Desert Online
I posted a very similar thread last year. We've gotten a lot of minor, but nice changes. So I'm updating my thoughts taking into account those changes plus the current meta landscape and roadmap.
Repost from the old Kakao forums. Year2: The Changes Shai Deserves! | Black Desert Online
I posted a very similar thread last year. We've gotten a lot of minor, but nice changes. So I'm updating my thoughts taking into account those changes plus the current meta landscape and roadmap.
Pre-face: These are just my personal suggestions and more represent the spirit of changes the class needs to be what I think a lot of us hope it could be, not an actual laundry list of "demands" (although I wouldn't complain in the slightest if they just copy/pasted)
Current Issues as a Shai Player:
-Being "forced" into building DP for large-scale pvp, just to function, because of lack of comparable damage and very slow animations is annoying.
-Being bullied off of spots or simply out of gathering, for no fault of our own, is also not fun.
-Limited overall speed and mobility is incredibly annoying and holds the class back from doing the most mundane content. (leveling, Potion grinding, over-gearing spots were grinding at)
--sub point, over reliance on quick slots for swapping makes the class feel clunky
-Limited felt/active impact of buffs and actions in general, outside of a few niche things, makes the class feel less important than it is/should be. (actions taken often feel invisible, despite being important)
What I'd like to see design wise:
-Overall speed/flow/mobility DRAMATICALLY improved. (we've come a long way... but long ways to go)
-Slightly more pvp damage, while still being considerably lower than other classes. Something like 75% of their DPS, with the caveat of requiring a few songs rolling.
-More felt impact of actions, less passive effects. Even as little as just more movement would help that a ton, more trickle healing, more short term impact. As a player I want to KNOW I'm doing something.
-Heals Standardized to scale more like Valk heals
TLDR version in BOLD.
Here is what I think that could/should look like:
Pre-Awakening:
PvP Damage Mod evened out to an average of ~.50 vs all classes
We have a .6 mod vs archer, where our damage feels low but reasonable.
Our mod vs Striker is .29, which is already a tanky class... too unreasonable.
Our damage would still be significantly lower than average and would still require us to apply buffs/debuffs to get to the point of legitimately killing people.
25% increased hit box size/area of effect on all florang skills
Missing skills on targets right in front of us because of small hit boxes is not interesting.
Over here:
Cooldown reduced to 3 minutes
No longer blocks character movement
Slow increased to -70% for 2 seconds while in Area.
+60% Damage Reduction Rate while using skill
[This skill is awesome, but its too buggy in a game as fast as BDO)

1 Target Max
Tuck and Roll:

Current BSR 100% removed.

Super armor
Instantly Heals +50% hp for Self and Friends.
+500hp recovery for 20 seconds.
Go Away:

Alchemy Whiz - Replaced:
Shai gains 2/3/4/5 minutes of increased duration on elixirs. (excludes perfumes)
Talent:
Shai No longer has a "talent stance"
All Songs Can be Cast {from Florang} by holding the Swap Key [C] - The ability to Hotbar and play should remain.
All songs Super Armor on Cast and for the duration of the animation. All songs have a standard playing animation/length (approximately 1 second)
Can play all songs while moving, but restricts movement speed to walking during the animation.
[what I imagine is where can be running/moving and hit the "cap locks" walking toggle, no full stop required]
All Songs in talent should generate 1 leaf.

Black Star Upgrade:
Most Shai were disappointed and upset by fact that we were not included in receiving a Blackstar awakening weapon... While I also am, I also would not like to make an additional Pen+ weapon with no way to recoup costs.
My Solution:
Instead of crafting a NEW item: Shai upgrades her Sol via a length/costly questline, which adds a new instrument (with songs) and passive.

I was very happy with the addons being increased to 6 so that is very good. Regarding all the suggestions indeed we need out speed increased some animations are incredably slow I would like to see more fluidity between talent songs and Florang also lastly the hit boxes to be widened its disapointing to be missing enemies right in front of us.

When I read over all these changes, it reminds he how INCOMPLETE shai really is. And then I compare her to any other class and fully realize this to be true.
PA, please make this happen, the shai class must become a full class.
