Suggestion(s)/Comment(s):
Feb 7, 2025 Global Lab patch notes have stated that there will be the buffing all classes' main skill's PVE damage. However, the worst spec and class for PVE (Awakening Kunoichi) has not received any such PVE damage buffs. In order to stay consistent with the patch note's goal of what looks to be about 10% to 25% flat PVE buffs that has been applied to classes like Berserker, I propose flat PVE damage buffs to the following Awakening Kunoichi's main damage PVE skills due to how little PVE damage they currently do.
1. Lethal Spin Spree IV: +15% Flat PVE Dmg BUFF
2. Wheel of Wrath III & Black Spirit: Wheel of Wrath III: +15% Flat PVE Dmg BUFF normal & +25% Flat PVE Dmg BUFF Black Spirit
3. Chain Crash: Sah Chakram & Danse Macabre: These skills usually go hand in hand, hard buff both +25% Flat PVE Dmg Buff
4. Sah Spree of Sonan IV & Black Spirit: Sah Spree of Sonan: +10% Flat PVE Dmg Buff to both
Details:
Awakening Kunoichi is heavily avoided for PVE because the class is very subpar in general for PVE damage. I enjoy the class and play it regardless, but I would be blind to not admit the fact that her PVE damage is outclassed by many other classes ingame. Maybe the Feb 7, 2025 global patch notes have not addressed Awakening Kunoichi because the GMs have not tested her yet, so I would like to offer my suggestions as an Awakening Kunoichi player who PVEs with the class.
1. Lethal Spin Spree IV: The 15% flat PVE damage buff is needed because it is Kunoichi's main skill and has been lacking in PVE since ~2020. This skill has always been just barely enough damage to not enough damage and consistently needed compensation to where eventually the extended spin (if people still remember that) was added. Can we just avoid the unnecessary back and forth and slap the necessary ~15% flat damage buff onto this skill for PVE? I understand the skill shouldn't 1 shot mobs either esp given its AOE, but the damage is incredibly low given that it's a main damage skill and the fact that it's a pretty long cast skill that takes a couple seconds. This is not a 0.1 second long skill, this takes a couple seconds for all the damage to be dealt.
2. Wheel of Wrath III & Black Spirit: Wheel of Wrath III: The flat 15% PVE damage buff is needed for the normal Wheel of Wrath III because the damage is kinda there but not really and also falls short for a main damage skill by a decent bit. In PVE, it gets outdamaged by other skills (i.e. its flow skill - Flow: Indignation) despite this skill having 100% Crit Hit Rate and being the 100% BSR skill. Wheel of Wrath III should be increased to at least match closer to the other skills' PVE output (simple buff by ~15%) and the lack of damage in this skill is a key part of why Awakening Kunoichi does not do enough damage in PVE.
-> The BSR version of Wheel of Wrath at times does less damage than the non BSR version. I don't know how to fix this other than to straight up +100% PVE damage buff this, but I feel like people reading this on the patch notes would result in them getting their pitchforks outright for the change due to their hatred of Kunoichi in general. I would say a straightforward +25% PVE damage buff would be a bare minimum because of its lack of PVE damage despite being the 100% BSR skill.
3. Chain Crash: Sah Chakram & Danse Macabre: These skills usually go hand in hand and lack damage output, please hard buff both by at least 25% PVE damage. The low PVE damage this class has can be helped with buffing the damage on both of these skills because this 2 skill combo has the weakest PVE damage output in the class's kit. Other single skills have the damage output or more than both of these combined, this is how little PVE damage the both of these do.
4. Sah Spree of Sonan IV & Black Spirit: Sah Spree of Sonan: This skill has been greatly reworked for the better and is almost ok thanks to PA. The only thing lacking is the PVE damage; it is ALMOST there but not quite. It is usually used as a finisher when all other skills are exhausted because the skill is unprotected, has low hit range, and is slower/takes a bit longer to complete. The damage just needs a rough PVE buff by about 10% to really do its job as the main finisher skill.

9 Upvotes as of now, that is every remaining Awk Kuno left from EU/NA and even the people who had to suffer with them in Oluns.
So please give buffs, but maybe without nerfing us at the same time for once, thank you.

Yes, that last sentence is the most important. After all, we know you, our dear PA.

Instead of buffing the good PvE DPS & AOE abilities I would much rather they buff the bad PvE DPS & AOE abilities. Abilities like Spin and Discuss keep their DPS while Chain Crash gets some massive buffs to make it decent. Low AOE abilities like Lunar Dash, Chakram Rise, Wheel of Wrath should do higher DPS than the good AOE abilities. Delighted Blast PvE DPS (and AOE too) is completely tragic, so it should get some huge buffs.
I don't wanna be a 4 button class. I want my whole kit to be useful.

Based off Awak Kuno's PVE damage on all skills in her kit, I definitely think a flat 10%-20% or more PVE damage increase across the board for skills including Chakram Rise, etc. are also needed. I hope PA implements these buffs to her kit. It is NECESSARY especially given how she has to remain within melee range and be at a greater risk of being hit than classes with more range. We always get hit by anything AoE based too during our long cast skills like Lethal Spin Spree or whatnot. There needs to be bigger reward (damage) for having that risk while being a naturally more squishy class. There absolutely cannot be any trade offs because that avoids the core problem of Awak Kuno just not having enough damage in general like we have been getting the past 5 years; we need a solution to the lack of damage now and that is just by flat damage increases without increased gimmicks or fluff or another rework.
The past 5+ years of reworks and gimmicks DO NOT WORK; the only solution is MORE DAMAGE.
