Trent asked multiple times for feedback about Shai on the forums and this is what I've got off the top of my head. I suppose I'll continue posting as I think of more.

1.) PvP damage. Laying down to die when anyone or anything comes across their path is not fun. It feels really, really bad. If they were designed to be a support class give me a scenario to support. Group content is few and far in between.

2.) Lifeskilling - I missed the donkey event. I autorun a default donkey around. It's not fun at all. Can't use a wagon to trade.

3.) PVE skills. Shai is really fun. I don't mind having fewer skills as most of them feel useful. I'd rather have fewer that I use than more that I want to lock. 

4.) Rabam/Ultimate/Absolute skills. Are we getting any?

I don't feel like I am even playing the same game as some of my buddies at times. I won't argue whether or not this is a pvp game or not but for the amount of pvp that does occur, the shai should be able to do something about it. 

Thanks for your time.

Got the baby elephant as well. Level 5 and I do not have the sprint ability. It is very slow. It's just so crazy to me that a shai specific mount was an extremely limited-time event. 

PC shai at least have horses now..

[Developer's Comment]

Shai is now able to ride horses. We thank all Shai adventurers who have been waiting for this.

Originally we hoped Shai, different from the existing characters, could travel by riding a donkey and bring you a new play experience. However, after the updates, we gathered the opinions of many adventurers around the world and concluded that our wish was not an open but a forceful choice. Hence we made improvements with this patch and enabled Shai to ride horses. For those adventurers who appreciated the donkey, we will continuously make patches to offer you other ways of using the donkey.

The same goes for Shai's talent patch; with the launch of the Global Lab, we are considering your opinions, and doing our best to patch it live as soon as possible. We hope Shai becomes your unique, charming friend and we will support any necessary resource investment or development for this to happen.

My feedback about ??Shai.

1} Pvp. I feel as if Shai is defenseless in pvp. We don't have pvp dmg but we have super long cooldown on our spells that we can't really defend our self's.  Am still lvling my Shai getting gear so I am a low gear player and I find I get bully a lot when playing Shai not talking just push out of grinding spots I mean full on hate. There's not much I can do sure I can play dead they will wait then beat me to death on the ground or I can try and dash away doesn't work Shai dash cost a lot of stam. For a support class there's not much self defend skills like a shield most if not all of our push back skills are made for pve. If Shai was made for full support with no pvp dmg and no pvp spells then maybe Shai should be exempt from pvp. Shai to me looks like a class that was made for supporting in pve then pvp.

PVP just seems so integral to the game. I hope they adapt rather than just turning it off.

I agree. If they don't want to give Shai dmg for pvp or at least spells to defend yourself with then maybe turning it off would be for the best. Then have Shai players being a pushing bag for the rest of the players

pay attention to PC patch notes new talents and a pvp dmg buff are all coming

Down Left Stick + RB needs to be a larger hit area .

on Par with other classes large hit area skills .

If they did that , id be happier with PvE and not so overwhelmed Trying to keep up with Musas , Witches , and Wizards 

three of the most popular rolled classes

Shai can PvP and the damage is decent and can easily 1v1 once the AP is 260+

Before that AP bracket it’s better to run DP/DR but you have to sacrifice AP for the DP/DR but that’s no biggie with Shai in PvE!

Tested 424 DP with 314 DR and 151 AP 710 evaision and can kill all scroll bosses including Lebur and Urugon and all T5 dark rift bosses with ease!

With that AP you can actually grind silver extrrmely easy in Valencia zones up to and including gahas and also Polly forest shrooms, if someone comes to spot they’re not going to kill you by any means and I’ve personally taken on several players at the same time and still been left standing and hence they left area seeing it as a waste of time, you don’t have to kill to win, just survive and by the way, using talent skills at that AP in those areas one shots packs easily, so being out grinding isn’t a problem either!

To add: Shai 240 TET Kutum is a joke in Aakman and Hystria and pretty much a boring grind due to the ease and if flagged it’s a simple switch to FP/DR accessories and usually the flag does to the mobs in trying to KO you.

Shai with DP/DR and decent evaision is god tier, admittedly shai needs either a rework or more tools and skills as pre 520 Gs it’s sub par and also the only class I know off that needs to have several builds to equip just to survive and it’s extremely expensive to do so.

For your consideration;

With the high DP and low AP as mentioned, shai can solo field bosses as this was also tested and at times I had them as low as 30% HP before the usual boss hunters joined!

PA is probably looking at shai with knowing what it’s capable of and wondering how to broach changes just for the fact that in the right hands, shai could break the game!

I’ll also add: 

In regards to saying shai is the only class I know of that needs more than one build to survive that’s true and standing but any class can equip a DP/DR and evaision build but with one major downfall, at that AP bracket one shotting packs isn’t viable as all testing was done with no food or elixirs and the crystals used made up att/movement/crit 5/5 as my main purpose of testing was to maximise silver gains with zero expenditure other than repairs to obtain maximum gains!

The other factor is survivability, shai has the obvious HoT/Heal over Time and also burst healing which was ‘needed’ in PvP and also some bosses, general grinding not so much!

Also add in the factor of crystals used the DP/DR/Eva build in question has 272 accuracy to further make most classes in the game less viable to use in PvP or PvE to effectively survive and to one shot or kill scroll, dark rift, world and field bosses!

Shai is really good, you just have to learn what the class is capable of!

I actually wish this game wasn’t so up its own bum in regards to enhancing as I would really like to further test all classes and have as many builds, classes geared for various content, but alas, it’s just to expensive and time consuming to enhance, its just not viable in retaining the fun factor which enhancing mitigates so heavily, in my opinion of course!

Peace!
