I love how you cleverly suggest Succ Sage is getting a 5% Casting speed increase. Class has both 10% Accuracy AND 10% Casting Speed on Live, now. Apparently, no one knows this. Just goes to show how bad a state this class is in. Kit is still riddled with bugs, i.e. 15 Sec SA on Ebuff doesn't work...skills fire incorrect directions....and now we're not only losing 5% accuracy, but we're still waiting on bug fixes and everyone is getting our 63 damage passive. Nice job...Class was designed around a mechanic it no longer has and the kit is so trash now, mobiles version of Sage is 100% different. Where's most classes resemble their Live counterpart somewhat, Sage is the only class whos mobile variation is 100% different, it's no wonder why...the class is complete shit since its been nerfed for 8 months straight and the originally designed slow skills to compensate for the high accuracy and damage don't even matter now. How're you literally going to TRASH a mechanic the ENTIRE KIT was designed around and not fix or compensate for it? Did no one at PA realize this? That one of the slowest and squishiest classes with zero protected cc and only a single iframe every 4 seconds that's so slow it can't be used in any 1v1/Smallscale situation to evade wasn't enough. Obviously fixed on mobile, so at least someone was smart enough to realize that if you completely disable a mechanic the class shipped with, that the rest of the kit needed to be modified to compensate for the MASSIVE change.

EVERYONE said he dealt too much damage b/c of his accuracy and damage passive....so he was nerfed, nevermind the fact he was never top tier in 1v1/Smallscale AND he brings absolutely nothing but accuracy and damage. Now that he's losing a lot of what made him "busted",  I don't see a single comment about iframe coming back...still no utility (Unlike mobile), still no quick dodge for outplay (Unlike mobile), reset still broken (Unlike mobile)....list of issues goes on and freaking on. What a joke. And when I see lab notes like this, misleading players who are coming in to discord asking if this is good or bad...I'm not surprised WHY you did this. To cover up yet another nerf to a class who can't even compete in AOA. 2 tournaments now and over 20 Sages entered, zero wins. It's bullshit the few Succ Sages that actually main the class day in and day out, not just a tag in NW/Siege to kill steal, are being jerked around like this. We're absolutely f'n fed up now. Fix this, for godsake, fix this bullshit kit.

"You out of your mind dude. Sage has big aoe with big bursts and can travel fast. On demand iframe. A RANGED grab. Obviously those 20 Sages were bad otherwise sage is S++++++ tier class. Stop whining about it learn how to position yourself. "

That's something I hear fairly often too, which is absolutely mind boggeling. For a class to be "op", it should be "over powered". Meaning it makes anyone that plays it, god tier. Why has that never been the case? LOL. ALL he had was Accuracy. There are zero vids of Sages 1 shotting in Trial gear, only time you're getting 1 shot is when someone has a 50+ gs advantage...something Casters have been doing for years with almost double the range, a summons to apply pressure, PA, Heals and speed spells. It's a f'n joke.

Love how OP mentions Succession Sage a dozen times yet the first comment spouts a bunch of incorrectness about awakening. Have awakening got their iframe back? Did succ get a ranged grab? 

No and no. 

Someone's comprehension skills need a buff.

I feel like if succ sage was actually givin a cast speed buff that would help alot. The class only really works when it can get lost in the crowd/caos or other people peel for you, and it takes a lot of gear to work bacause if you cant kill someone in a few skills than you wont kill them. The class does offer big damage in large aoe bursts but all the skills are slow and the class basically has to eat all the slows and damage people throw at it in its sa port; which just makes them defenseless and melts the sage. The whole succ kit has 3 skills that move your character, all of them require stam, and the rabam spear bolt has a 15 second cd with very short duration so other than spaming port (rift chain) you really cant run, and you are super vulnerable.

I really like the succ sage kit and wish it could get some more speed, or wizards dr buff on sa skills just for sages port, or a dodge skill... idk something so that he wasn't so fragile. I'm not looking for much i just want to be able to survive someone pressuring me rather than folding like a chair.

That being said, i dont think you can just give awaken sage an extra 5% cast speed and have everything be fine. I have no idea what awaken sage needs or deserves.

I don't understand what's going on with pa, they nerfed our only thing that we're good at: Damage. Like come on atleast give us something good for small scale/1v1s a little bit of castspeed wouldn't hurt anyone

pa wants people to play musas and zerkers this cycle, maybe strikers and some other stuff, sorry.
