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, give it or both of them slow debuffs. (How come a Time Mage not have a single atk-slow debuff ?!)

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.

EDIT: And to emphasize more on how bad Succ sage is at PVE, here's a recent tier list.

Thank you for reading (*^▽^*) ! 

And for the haters, if more people grinded on succ sage, you'll have easier time winning DFS, because succ is a horrible at 1v1 too and doesn't have a grab (yes, I have to mention this because people keep confusing succ with awk).

A PVE buff won't harm anyone.

Grinding in low end areas such as Valencia/pot piece areas I have the most fun cause of how things just die making me feel good about succ sage and reminding me how fun he is. Whenever I try to get back on Sage with tagging to try him out again he just simply feels super weak to play as succ, mid tier areas take forever to kill mobs such as Thornwood and Stars End(using kama/demi human dmg artifact too) and trying to grind Elvia mobs of any kind feels even worse can't even grind in Elvia as succ Sage killing anything just takes forever unloading almost my entire kit on packs makes me feel worse knowing I used almost my entire kit to kill a pack any other class i can kill mobs pack to pack with relative ease no problem and make 3x as more trash loot than succ Sage. Also whoever designed the Shift+Z Rabams both are supper slow and not worth using at all imo would be nice if it was faster. another issue I have sometimes is stamina it runs out pretty fast trying to go from pack to pack with Rift Chain and mobs with CC can pull/knock me down out of Rift Chain which kinda sucks it's really an inconvenience trying to cast skills while in Rift Chain then being taken out of it when PvEing.
