(audio video post - how i communicate)
Shai is being asked to ‘attack’ and not support in some cases, this appeares to be incorrect design for shai.
As video state, i don’t know the solution. But maybe it does mean mist haze is the incorrect method for shai’s ‘Support’ Role in pvp... Given a lot of people are upset at the function of misty in PvP (too powerful ) I would say this is a very important topic of interest.

never know, last time i pointed out a similar design issues it related to the SA on misty, and it got move to the start of casting (Based on same foundation given here). So sometimes chances happen.

Shai is in a pretty good place as it is. It doesn’t make sense to ask for damage on this class for many reasons, but a good example is looking at how she performs in capped content and in the last season of Solare she simply doesn’t have the skill set to survive. If you ask for both damage and a better defensive kit, the class would be absolutely broken. Take Dosa Awakening as an example: his individual skill is comparable to any non-support class, and he has support capabilities too not to Shai’s level, of course, but even with that, the class is overtuned.
Shai is intended to be a full support class with its corresponding handicaps. The only request from a Shai player I could understand would be asking for a tiny bit of extra mobility or protections, since classes like Striker, Zerker, and many others can nullify her gameplay by just running her down. If you want damage, there are almost 30 other classes to choose from some of them, like Valkyrie, Dosa, Witch/Wizard, and Zerker, can already be used as semi-supports.
As for Misty Haze yes, it’s a powerful skill, but it has counterplay, and with the way the game is now, it’s a necessary skill to deal with the current meta tanks. If any class should have a skill like that, it’s definitely Shai a class with 0 damage who can’t even take advantage of Misty herself in PvP, which makes perfect sense.
I also feel that Shai, in her current state, is a class people play more to support others' enjoyment than for their own personal gain and players like that are healthy for the game. I'm referring to the people who genuinely main this class and not the ones that just bastardize it.

Class needs a full rework, and im not asking for damage, im asking for a full rework
But this wont happen either
