Lobbying for Succ Sage Rework

First, please revert the changes to Reset and Overdrive. We have no business using our powerful class buff so often, it was bad enough using it twice in a row with a ten minute wait now, its significantly worse and will agitate many people facing that in largescale. Not only that but encourages questionable gameplay, like hiding to spam skills at a wall until Reset is off cooldown

Solution: Make our E-Buff a NORMAL E-Buff that isn't Reset so we can't use it back to back anymore. Instead, allow Reset to affect certain MELEE RANGE Prime skills automatically, allowing you to use them (without their CC effects) even if on cooldown, as long as stacks are at maximum. This prevents abuse and provides more rewarding, engaging gameplay. 

With the ebuff problem out of the way, the rest of the issues are as follows:

Attack cancels - keeping him slow and steady as a caster is in-theme as he is highly impactful, but every other class has access to some kind of cancel which helps their dps, survival and comboability. Being able to at least change his mind would keep him slow but allow him some level of control over his OWN abilities during an encounter.

Solution: A cancel skill bound to spacebar should be available for at least his slowest spells, with some melee range damage applied to aid his dps for endgame grinding

Secondary movement skills - outside of rift chain, succ sage has no other form of movement, which destroys his stamina, is easily tracked and leaves him disadvantaged in almost all other matchups. 

Solution: please incorporate a short distance dash or blink step to provide a choice between moving with RC over a greater distance (and eating damage across the whole rift trail), or repositioning over a much shorter distance with an alternate form of movement. 

Attack Slows - all of these have now been removed from the kit. He is a space/ time caster with emphasis on altering the flow of time, and cannot apply slows. How this doesn't trigger every single one of you who have a passion for gaming is BEYOND me, its absurd.

Solution: Please add - 30% Attack and - 30% movement speed for 10 seconds debuff to Realm of Anguish in keeping with other classes slows, so we can use it to mitigate damage in PvE and for self defence in PvP. 

Evasion buff on movement skill - he innately has higher base evasion which encourages people to want to build in that direction, yet he lacks the convenient "+x% evasion buff for x seconds" that other evasion classes have access to.

Solution: please add a +6% evasion for 7 seconds on Prime: Rift Chain

With these changes implemented, I'd consider Succ Sage to be a fleshed out class more in-keeping with the rest of the new classes and I wouldn't have a thing left to say.

But as it stands, (cool new skills and overpowered Ebuff abuse aside) he's fundamentally lacking far too much in important areas, and over achieving in one area. It's lopsided and provides an unpleasant experience.

This isn't my first Succ Sage rant, it's obvious I care greatly (you might have seen my other posts or outfit designs), and it certainly won't be my last, if you agree with the things I've mentioned, I'd appreciate it if you could tap the like button or start a conversation so someone will notice.
