I enjoyed the class a lot before I got awakening abilities, and now I'm just baffled by the amount of micromanagement you have to do to play optimally. I have to refresh my buffs every 5 packs, and doing it mid-combat when mobs with high spawn rate can interrupt you constantly became very frustrating very quick.

From my understanding, you can do all of that in quick succession with cancel animation, but do you think it's a good class design you genuinely enjoy?

Yes, I would even say I think the debuffs should be more viable in PvE, our bongo skills are useless and haze has a 3 minute cooldown nowadays, I picked up Shai on release mainly for the talent aspect of the class and I feel like it's underutilized.

Would like more talent skills. And honestly could use a skill that would activate the buffs for 10 minutes permanently, but you can't buff anyone.

In a group setting I enjoy it, if I try and solo I hate it.  

Doing guild bosses, Oluns, Atoraxxia, or in group PvP it is enjoyable.

However if I try to grind anywhere other than a spot where the mobs come to me it's not fun.  I can buff every minute while stationary but if I have to buff between packs it's just not fun.

I understand but it really traine ur hand's :D 
in ash forest dehkia it very lethal :c
