I am one of many who main Kanna. We enjoy this class and we invest a lot in it because of that. We're not all about Kishin. Not all of us chose main this class because we wanted Kishin. Many of us chose to main Kanna because we enjoy them as a class and the playstyle. I feel the upcoming revamp is a chance for them to have a better future. (Beast Tamer, Jett, and Hayato I truly hope they too get the chance one day)
I think those of us who main Kanna need to offer suggestions that Nexon could take into account. We know what Kanna lacks, what needs to be completely changed, removed or edited, and what we really need because we're the ones maining Kanna. We know what's better on ways to make Kanna better. Please provide your own suggestions for Kanna below. Please be considerate about other people's ideas and if you dislike theirs, consider improving upon their ideas rather than turning them down. We all have ideas of what Kanna should be, but we can all agree on one thing: Kanna needs to be more of a DPS rather than mostly a support class. Some changes would have to be made to support aspects probably, to keep Kanna balanced.
While I do not have enough ideas for a full 100% revamp, I do have many that would improve Kanna as a whole.. Here they are. Remember, anyone can suggest their ideas here, I just feel like Kanna mains will know what is best. But that doesn't mean nobody else can make suggestions for Kanna.
Haku
Currently Haku exists only to supply buffs to Kanna and their party. I think Haku can be made better by being a summon who helps Kanna attack. This could help supply Kanna another source of extra damage. As more of an add-on rather than a companion who simply buffs you. Let him cast an attack at high chance per Kanna using an attack, and let this be available in node boost skills so that the damage can scale. Sort of like Final Attack, but for Kanna.
A buff or two of Haku's may or may not need to be nerfed to keep Kanna balanced. Such as Haku's Gift which restores 97% of your max HP, and Foxfires.
Kanna
Kanna's current play style is what we enjoy.. We want it to have the same feel as how Kanna currently. If it must be changed, please don't stray too far away from how Kanna currently plays. Some skill animations and functions should be revamped regardless. Kanna can still be partially a support class. I do believe Shikigami Haunting needs an animation and function revamp. Preferably making it less slow and clunky to use it.

All of the removed skills could perhaps be revamped and added in somehow, but I feel they stick out, never used. Offer no benefit to using. So therefore better to be removed or replaced entirely.
