It's been some time since Succ Sage was both viable and fun in PVE. His current state is very poor because of the drastic contrast you feel from the dramatic animations of his skills and the long cast time to the lack luster damage that results from all the build up. It is then also mildly infuriating seeing his stronger, faster, better brother the Awk Sage get lots of love and attention. Awk Sage was already fine in PVE but he somehow recieved way more buffs in the recent global labs patches. PA, please do not leave succession sage in the dust for an additional 6-12 months. Please get him right the first go around.

PA, you need to stop looking at a class as a whole, Succession and Awakening specs are completely separate entities and PVP and PVE performance are also completely separate as well.

There is no logic in not improving Succession because "Awakening" is good. These specs are completely different from each other and pander to completely different player bases.

Each spec should be sufficient in all aspects of the game.
