Nova SUCCESSION:
This class is the Worst in PVE and one of the Worst in PVP. I want to play this class in the SUCCESSION stance, but I can't because she's the worst everywhere, she can't kill monsters at the same speed as all classes. She cannot fight back many classes in PVP with a big gear. To improve this class, below are numerous changes to the balance in PvP and PvE, as well as bug fixes.
Black Spirit Skill Acceleration. Increase the number of attacks on skills with the call of infantry Passed Pawn. Increased PVP damage for Passed Pawn and King of the Dead. Return of 100% PvE crit chance on Passed Pawn and King of the Dead. Also new buffs and debuffs. This will give the character to be average in the game, but not the worst in the game.
We have been waiting for changes for 2 years, and with the current rebalancing of classes that was in the winter, which happened recently. Nova has dropped even lower in her heritage, these edits will save her, help her, many want to play, but alas, she is not capable of killing mobs, she is the worst in this aspect. She is the worst in PVP.

As a fellow Nova Succession main, I agree that Nova Succession got the short end of the stick in the various class rebalances. She should be a 'tank', but can't even aggro monsters properly.

As for the changes you suggest.

The debufs are effects on the monster and all party members will gain benefits for it. This would increase the desire of a Succession Nova in a party as it can improve the damage output of the rest of the party.

Succession: Quoratum's Opening should indeed have a lower stamina consumption. I can barely get from one group the another without having to use almost all of it. Let alone position myself during the fight properly.

There is no character classification in this game, which is stated by the developer himself, that is, there are no Tanks here, everything is "Damage".
Nova in SUCCESSION is currently the worst in PVE that I am improving PVE in this case. In PVP, there is not enough hit buff and evasion cut from the enemy. So are movements...

Unfortunately, Valks, Zerkers, Draks, Guardians out "tank" us and deal way more damage. But just like above, there's no set roles in this game, everyone is supposed to just do damage. A huge gap in PvP and PvE is no excuse when you can look at every other class in the game and see significantly better survival and damage with their short CD i-frames, guard break skills, FG attacks, with full SA rotations

Yeah, whatever.

Warrior succ has stacking DP, an move like a turbo jet, and has a grab. Damage is pretty solid too.

Succ Nova has skills with long CDs, and a single i-frame with a long cooldown. Along with poor mobility.

She's ultimately a failure because this game revolves around speed. Early game and endgame are two completely different things. AP scaling is too much. You go from at least being able to survive to being shredded alive through your SA. Doesn't matter if a Musa has no grab. He just melts you with 310 AP and you can't catch him.

This post needs more for her honestly.  
  
Our I-frame being a 13s CD is awful, I also think Icy Fog should have a stamina reduction to at least 150 as well for a 300 total stamina dash.

Vengeful Star could have better cancels, and have more command skills be allowed to use immediately after its used.   
  
Storming Star needs a prime version or the x32 hits returned to it like the old days + sped up animation

Swooping Ring is just a terrible clunky skill with damage not even notable 

Would it be too crazy to suggest some hidden DR during certain SA skills like Shift C, Shift E, and Shift F? Something to let us get damage off in large scale without immediately losing block and dying

I had these suggestion written out https://www.naeu.playblackdesert.com/en-US/Forum/ForumTopic/Detail?_topicNo=24687&_opinionNo=107587
when that forum post was made

I completely agree. Ever since day 1 of Nova release I always felt bad for the class because it has historically always been under powered and down right squishy. I think PA needs to give some major buffs to novas to help bring them up to speed with all other classes in the game. We need atleast a 500 base damage reduction rate buff for nova so that we don't have to build fallen god items to maintain some tankiness and not get 3 combo by other classes. Its only fair. Nova has been repressed for far too long and now it's time for him to shine.

//

Surely you need more AP reduction for your PvE clear as well as lower PvP damage reductions. Those always pump trash/hour up. Surely.

I see only a hate on your part at the moment, and I see that you did not read the post. There ap PVE is more common than PVP. Yes, PvP was also affected, but not hugely. Read everything carefully!

I agree with this post with Nova SUCCESSION amplification. She's the worst in PVE. It needs to be improved.

Needs Pve improvement for sure

PvP closed quarter small scale is good but

PvP open world small scale is bad mainly stamina shortage to chase

Large scale pvp god awfull, just switch to awak is basically the answer

FIX pls fg being applied when fg has been broken, cant dash after fg breaks

we got primised a fix.
