This class is completely overpowered. As usual with new classes. I'm so sick of you guys bringing out new classes completely untuned and overpowered and making everyone roll to it while its "flavor of the month". While the rest of us trying to enjoy the game playing our usual classes just have to suffer for 3-6 months until you fix it. Rediculous!

 

Also why is it able to do skills through siege structure walls to players and annexes?

I have a better question, why wizards are so OP still? and why does this game is rng uppon rng and why is it p2w? Sages are fine and it dont need tuning, quiet the oposite it needs buffs actualy. Less costly abilities, more sustain, more healing etc.

Couldn't agree more,  class isn't broken compared to where Casters STILL stand and it's always those same casters complaining who have more defensive abilities AND damage then an Awakening Sage could dream about.

 

Infact, Awa Sage has zero defense passives, is susceptible to magic damage AND has shitty heals. Even our movement is full of gaps (Can kill a Awa Sage in T1s with blizzard alone because of the gaps and any multiple hit skill landing during overcharge cast) and majority of our skills are mid to close range often putting us into danger with a mainhand kit that is unseasonably slow in pvp limiting the kit even further...Ppl get hit with Lightening Prison the only decent long range high damage skill in the kit and cry for nerfs when we're already the weakest class defensive speaking in the game. We are the very definition of a glass cannon with no defensive stats unlike all the other glass cannon that have great damage, evasion/dr and/or heals on top of it lol.

 

Awakening Sage excels in offense AND only offense. Every Sage will tell you this. We are one of, if not the weakest class in the game when it comes to taking damage. Also, in the same vein, we're one of the few classes that has actual balance for the way the kit was designed...unlike casters who still have everything.

Blah blah blah i lost o sage so im gonna cry for nerfs

 

Also why is it able to do skills through siege structure walls to players and annexes?

Shooting through anexes shall be adresed if its not intended. Animation wise those spears fly from the portal so why it shouldnt?:)

 

And about op part - its not.

AWK sage is good in 1vs1 and mediocre in group fights while succ sage is on his knees after PA overnerfed rift and finishing tough....

You should watch some pvp records from the ppl that are both skilled and geared and you will see that they are far from crushing their opponents.

You have a lot of balls saying you're the weakest class defensively when you can iframe through 99% of damage, while poor Musa and Maehwa have to take every bit of ranged dps casters put out and die in the middle of chase, or when a class like Shai exists. Shais are so pitiful that if they aren't a dp meme, they can't do anything. You have fully protected rotations, good cc, good protected mobility, damage out the ass, and sorc iframes. Get the hell out of here.

Since I both played Musa and now Sage I can agree about Musa needing a buff since ages. He is skillkitwise one of the weakest classes right now and PA should adress it.

But on the other hand, no sage is neither broken op nor very bad. In awakening he is very punishable after every 0.5 second iframe he does, has no defensive passives and bad sustain + the only protected cc sage got is Core: Lightning Prison which has a long cd. Succ spec is even worse after all the nerfs it received.

There is counterplay vs Sage so there is nothing that makes him op.

And Shai... yes sure make that class good in grinding and you got a class that has everything... She is already the best lifeskilling class and the only real support in the game. There is no need to also make her capable of grinding fast or deal tons of dmg.

"Shai a class PA said isn't meant for PVP is the weakest because it can do DP Memes and tank." Lol, reading comprehension alert right there. How does Shai having Defense Builds make her more susceptible to damage then a class without any base defensive stats or abilities to build off of that gets Shredded easily during SA skills? Let me help you understand,  classes most susceptible to damage, are those classes that don't have any defensive stats allowing for a build to mitigate damage. Be it evasion or damage reduction. Classes without this setup, will be much easier to kill even in SA, which his best skills are in. Classes that have high damage, shouldn't have good defense stats or they become very broken like the Hash thread and their complaints about Unkillable Hash's in RBF. Ninjas and Kunos who can build heavy evasion builds requiring high accuracy to even 80% hit if they're even caught during their gap free movement. 

 

To clarify, that means no DR or Evasion like Sorc, Ninja, Kuno, Musa, Hash etc. You can go evasion on most quick assassin style classes. You cannot on Awa Sage who also happens to have the longest cast times which makes him easy to punish especially with not fully protected movement like those classes....it's common sense...in t1 at much more balanced gear you can kill a Sage mid Lightening Prison with a single blizzard...oh yeah, bet since you're throwing out false assumptions,  didn't even bother to notice we're also weaker to magic damage then most classes, INCLUDING MUSA (7+ magic dr compared) too which is a much more important stat for a class that has no defensive passives to survive caster ranged attacks to begin with. Musa has Evasion passives, quick skills and better magic dr. Awa Sage Class, which IS NOT getting rebalanced like Musa is in Oct, is far from "broken" lol.

 

If the class had completely safe movement with no gaps like Ninja, Kuno, Sorc, Hash, Musa and Mae along with their defensive passives, better magic dr combined with current damage, then it'd be broken...but it's not. Comparing a newer class to classes that are literally getting reworked is moronic.

 

The class is far from being leaps and bounds better then older classes OR you'd see them everywhere like you do Casters. It is strong, but obviously not broken,  and your emotions coupled with ignorance and ego, are clearly preventing you from even thinking about it logically. Why else would you compare a class PA has said isn't a PVP Class but still has options to literally tank entire balls dps skills is somehow less tanky then a class that has not a single defensive skill or passive, would suggest.
