Hello dear BDO Community,

in order to buff our class and make her viable again, some shais gathered together and worked on some ideas to buff and balance our class.
We tought about a way to keep the lifeskill benefits and improve them a little, same with PvE some skill changes and also some new possible skill ideas.

A huge chunk on what we worked on was PvP tho. How are we able to keep up with the current PvP meta? We tryed to work out some buff to our evasion, dp and other protections. (Including a possible new passive, new skill ideas and skill changes).  

Since we give up PvP dmg, becouse its basiclly not existing, we try to heal, buff and support our teammates as good as possible. Survivability is so important in order to do that. 

As a Shai we fall, as Shais we stand! #LoveForTheSmallones #TimeToShaine

The following stuff is about possible changes and buffs. Feel free to comment / discuss as much as you want. 

And ofcourse give as much feedback as possible to support us, supporting you on your long journey!

Main Hand Main Skills

Main Hand Secondary Skills

Awakanen Skills

Skill Enhancement Skills

Good Ideas!

This is exactly what we needed. I support every single one of the ideas. Thank you!!

I strongly support the tweaks to our existing skills.
Personally, I'd perhaps even propose hitbox tweaks to 123 so we don't overshoot the 'hyper-aggro' mobs in Elvia zones etc!
Although I'm impartial to new skills and content added to our kit, I support the process. Thank you!

love every idea on here....some are more needed that others for sure. If I look at the protection on flute skills if used together with We’re Gonna Win! I don't think its needed....I mean we got a ton of range on it and as much as I would like to stand protected with that I think it would be to much.

But the FG on the lev 3 awa skills would be nice. 

The new passives would be my biggest wish I would say. If you don't lifeskill on your shai the passives are useless and she needs more eva/dr to keep up with the ppl stacking ap and acc. 

i have no idea about shai, but i know she is a wasted slot in pvp, so i support whatever you think makes you viable.

Hello fellow shais!

I read through all the things quite quick so excuse me if im saying something that has been said already. 

I main shai with mainly a focus on pve atm. 

ENGELIS WISHES:
One-two-three - needs to get a bigger aoe at the end for pve. Once u cancel it the aoe is so TINY. My striker has bigger aoes. Remove that it doesnt do any damage infront of yourself aswell. (only does when u throw the florang) For pve we need something better. Perhaps make it a cone instead where the damage will hit. Another thing is that we suffer greatly from the florang going into the ground and doing no damage. Other classes struggle with this aswell. 

E-Buff - the SA is annoying. starts in the middle of the skill. Another thing change the animation. make it shorter. PLUS make it so my comrades dont have to stand shoulder to shoulder to me to recieve the E buff. Sometimes when people are like 2 shais away, they dont get the ebuff. Even when the animation shows a little orb going to them. its a lie! they dont get it! 

Get well - needs to just go out faster. Super annoying that u get cc'ed in the middle of it and it goes on CD, but u get no heal cause u get healed at the end of the skill.

Swimming on grindspots. do i need to say more?

Mobility - for the love of god just give us the boomerang glide from BDO mobile. We need more mobilty. For pvp and pve.

Tagging mobs - in pve its quite hard for us shais to tag mobs fast. When i grind with people in castle ruins i end up with less loot as i cant tag fast enough. Make it so debuffs tag mobs aswell as its technically "hitting" the mobs. Other issue here is that we dont have big aoes. Yes we can do bongos to help, which is what i do mostly. But sometimes when people get weapons and u are trying to constantly buff it gets hard. Plus swapping from Talent to main hand takes time. i cant remember but come out come out doesnt tag mobs either, and gather around doesnt tag aswell. 

The issue with how are we sopposed to defend our grind spots? I honestly dont know, so far i either swap channel or try to do my wombo combo and pray they are a gearlet. Its making me sad to grind on shai, cause literally every class gets more loot than we do. (there is exceptions for the few spots we are "good" in) I've resorted to having to tag another class to duel/grind the spots we suck at. 

Those changes would be very nice, since eva meta is kinda dead with all those accuracy items, Shai needs some tweaking with her viability in PVP.

 More skills for her kit, wich suits her playstlye (support/tank) are very much appreciated. Not just for shai herself, no for everyone who are dedicated to play this class and for people who play NW/sieges aswell.

Im still a fan thinking about an actualy PVP awa rework, but im fine with all the support stuff she could get.

Pearl Abyss, please take this feedback above and use it, to make Shai an actual class.

Hmmm, it would be cool if they actually made shai's awak. like a Bard class...still providing buffs as heals for her allies and also debuffs enemies and giving her good movement and couple of dmg dealing skills. and probably making her succ spec more for dmg dealing? idk.. its a thought but you guys have cool ideas!
