! Guild !! Suggestor !! Category !! Suggestion !! Balance Notes
|-
| Barbarian || Malkien || Quality of Life  || Add darkvision to Owl form || No balancing needed.
|-
| Barbarian || Malkien || Quality of Life  || Allow berserks and meditations to be individually ended || 60 second hard cooldown on Famine and Volcano berserks.
|-
| Barbarian || Malkien || New Ability  || 1-slot metaspell called Wyvern form that adds a +Expertise boost to Dragon form. || No balancing needed.
|-
| Barbarian || Malkien || New Ability  || 1-slot metaspell called Falcon form form that adds quick aim to first shot with Eagle form. || No balancing needed.
|-
| Barbarian || Malkien || Ability Rebalance  || Add +Offhand to Dragon form to bring in line with Oath of the Firstborn. || No balancing needed.
|-
| Barbarian || Malkien || Ability Rebalance  || Remove hard cooldown timer from Mana Torment roar. || Barbarian roars' poor ability to ablate vs. willpower barriers and the voice pool system already balances the roar.  Roar would be very niche even without hard timer, and abilities such as HULP have no such cooldown.
|-
| Barbarian || Malkien || Overall Guild Design  || Remove hard cap on number of forms and meditations that can be run simultaneously, or add masteries to expand the total number available. || Significant balance repercussions.  Will need to be evaluated by GMs.
|-
| Barbarian || Malkien || Quality of Life  || Fix Staunch/Dispel meditations so they are truly "free."  They currently do not check number of active meditations (i.e. they bypass the meditation limit) but then count as an active meditation themselves. || No balancing needed.
|-
| Barbarian || Malkien || Ability Rebalance  || Redesign CHOKE as a Barbarian-only grappling ACM. || Need for grapple and built-in ACM cooldown should be sufficient balance.
|-
| Barbarian || Rakkor|| Ability Rebalance  || Increase damage mitigation on Tenacity || Tenacity is a purposefully weak ability, balanced around mitigation from Volcano. Volcano has been nerfed. Tenacity should be brought in line with other middle-of-the-pack barriers.
|-
| Barbarian || Rakkor|| Ability Rebalance  || Increase damage mitigation on Toad || Toad is a purposefully weak ability, balanced around mitigation from Volcano. Volcano has been nerfed. Toad should be brought in line with other middle-of-the-pack barriers.

|-
! Guild !! Suggestor !! Category !! Suggestion !! Balance Notes
|-
| Bard || Rakkor || Spell Update  || DALU - Change contest from mind/willpower to contesting /fortitude || Bards need a Debil that does not contest /willpower. DALU is the obvious choice.
|-
| Bard || Tambellis || Spell Update  || Update all debilitations such as Misdirection, DALU, DEMA, etc to the current debilitation contests. Currently attacker gets no benefit at full prep. || No balancing needed.
|-
| Bard || Tambellis || Spell Rebalance || Remove the ability for the Naga to turn and engage the Bard in BTN. || No balancing needed.
|-
| Bard || Tambellis || Spell Rebalance || Completely redesign GJ. Make it a pulsing Charm vs. Willpower which attempts to dispel 1 opponent spell each pulse. Call it something completely different if needed for Lore purposes. || Will need to be evaluated.
|-
| Bard || Tambellis || Spell Rebalance || Consolidate HODI and BOTF into 1 single spell. || Increase spell slot cost to 3.
|-
| Bard || Tambellis || Ability Rebalance || Significantly increase the damage of Scream Concussive. Make it armor piercing, unable to be parried, impact damage weighted. || Possibly change cooldown RT.
|-
| Bard || Tambellis || Ability Rebalance || Change the function of Scream Dissonance. Charm vs. Fort stun, disarm, head damage somewhat similar to mental blast. || Possibly change cooldown RT.
|-
| Bard || Tambellis || Ability Rebalance || Remove the -DISC for Bluff Amaze. Increase bonus to Charisma to +20%. || No balancing needed.
|-
| Bard || Tambellis || Quality of Life || Vastly increase the Inspiration pool, or vastly increase the rate of it's natural regen. || No balancing needed.

|-
! Guild !! Suggestor !! Category !! Suggestion !! Balance Notes
|-
| Cleric || Rakkor || Spell Rebalance || Remove 4th pulse from capped AE cast. ||  In a post barrier review world where everyone is squishier, the top end damage of AE needs to be toned down as a first of potentially several measures.

==Empath==
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|+ Player Suggestions for Guilds
|-
! Guild !! Suggestor !! Category !! Suggestion !! Balance Notes
|-
| Empath|| SPICYDIAPSID || Expansion of Existing System || Expand the existing Manipulate system with additional functionality, such as also viewing anyone the Empath has a Link with as a friend. ||  Manipulate is an thematically interesting ability that could extend well for group contexts.  It would need global limits, timeouts, and learning cooldowns with the suggested expansion.
|}

==Moon Mage==
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"

|-
! Guild !! Suggestor !! Category !! Suggestion !! Balance Notes
|-
| Moon Mage || Rakkor || Spell Rebalance || Remove 3rd meta tier, capping accuracy and damage at second meta tier RE: Burn and IFL ||  Since the inception of Iyqaromos Fire-Lens, Burn has not been a spell in their arsenal, it has been the spell in their arsenal. In a post barrier review world where everyone is squishier, the top end damage of a full-strength IFL-empowered Burn needs to be toned down.
|-
| Moon Mage || SPICYDIAPSID || Spell Rebalance || Roll the effects of Shape Moonblade into Moonblade.  Leave Moonblade at 1 spell slot. || Curreny Shape Moonblade genuinely feels as though it should be a part of the base spell or that it should do something more substantial a la Empower Moonblade.

==Trader==
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|+ Player Suggestions for Guilds
|-
! Guild !! Suggestor !! Category !! Suggestion !! Balance Notes
|-
| Trader || Rakkor || Spell Update || Add a 1 slot, bog standard reactor that protects against both Physical and Elemental || Their current reactors are useless for PvP purposes, but are great in PvE. Rather than continue to tweak TRC and IR and unbalance them in PvE, a new spell should be added to handle the PvP gap. See submission from the "Design a Spell" contest at Simucon.
|-
| Trader || Malkien || New Spell || Single-target hard CC spell (stun, immobilize, or stun/unconscious).  || Traders completely lack reliable CC outside of speculate coin, which has many limitations.  A spell-based option would be a huge boon.
|-  
| Trader || Malkien || New Spell || Target magic training spell that does not consume Starlight Aura.  || Non-sorcerous training options that don't consume SLA would make young Traders much easier.
|-
| Trader || Malkien || New Spell || SvS protection spell, suggested ablative barrier vs. reflex or vs. fortitude. || Traders don't have much native SvS protection.  A moderate-powered SvS barrier that contests one of the three defenses would be useful, particularly a vs. fortitude or vs. reflex barrier (no one outside Barbarians currently has a vs. reflex barrier).   
|-
| Trader || Malkien || Overall Guild Design || Review contests of current (and upcoming) SvS abilities to provide consistency in offensive contest selection.  || Traders only have three native debil abilities and they are all different contests (magic, spirit, and finesse).  I would personally suggest Trader spells lean hard into the charm contest to give their guild magic a unique flavor outside of bog-standard magic and mind contests.

|-
| Warrior Mage || Rakkor || Spell Update || Add a 1 slot, bog standard reactor that protects against both Physical and Elemental || Like other unique barriers, GI continues to be troublesome to balance. A repeat hit to the same area in X number of seconds can be devastating, but those same hits spaced out over a protracted period of time are inconsequential. Rather than continue to tweak GI and unbalance it for PvE, a new spell should be added to handle the PvP gap.
|-
| Warrior Mage || Rakkor || Spell Update || 3% damage reduction to Lightning Bolt || Lightning Bolt continues to perform slightly too well in the post barrier review reality. Pure elemental damage spells are really strong, especially with the frequency that the spell can be targeted when used by a Warrior Mage with Pathway Quickness. A minor damage tweak is needed.

==All Guilds & Commoners==
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|+ Player Suggestions for Guilds
|-
! Guild !! Suggestor !! Category !! Suggestion !! Balance Notes
|-
| All Guilds || Rakkor || Quality of Life || Update AIM functionality to both load and aim a held aimed weapon in the same manner that TARGET both preps and “aims” a targeted magic spell at a hostile. || Allows AIMed weapons to be viable in PvP.
|-
| All Guilds || Rakkor || Quality of Life || Vitality protection added to all guild spellbook reactors in a non-stacking fashion || By adding the vitality protection to all guild spellbook reactors, this will increase build diversity and allow for additional experimentation and optimization. Note, running more than one guild spellbook reactor will not double the vitality protection, it is hard capped at 10%.
|-
| All Guilds || Tambellis || Spell/Ability Expansion || Add more "Charm" abilities and Spells. || At the moment, Charm (and Charisma) is in a terrible state. There are only 8 Charm based spells, and only 3 Charm based abilties. Charisma is the ONLY stat not used in any defensive contests and is the only Attacking Contest with 0 spells that are hard CC and castable (not cyclic) and not a 'calm', and of the 8 Charm based spells 5 are signature.
|-
| All Guilds || Malkien || Overall Game Balance || Cooldown or Diminishing Return on Spell Seal/Ward Strips || Despite being more penalizing then effects like stun and immobilize, spell seal functions like Huldah's Pall and ward/buff strip functions like Ward Break or Rend lack any form of cooldown or diminishing returns.  These effects warp the entire metagame around them, and the need to protect against them render entire builds (such as Bard charm builds or Barbarian fear builds) non-viable.  Giving them diminishing returns would go a long way towards balancing this.
|-
| All Guilds || Malkien || Overall Game Balance || Diversify Allocation of SvS Stats and Contests || The dominance of magic/mind contests and the double-dipping allowed in the mental stats for vs. willpower (by far the most common contest) stifle ability to make off-meta builds.  Combined with the spell seal/ward strip spells all being vs. willpower and the problem is compounded.  Suggest switching some contests (such as making vs. willpower Charisma/Wisdom/Discipline) and evaluating the contest of 1-2 abilities per guild should help with diversity of viable stat allocation.
