Well, I honestly think you need it.

1) Multiple aspects of your class require rage. Paradigm Shifts cost 60 rage and then there are Sync Techs which REQUIRE you to be in Paradigm shift in the first place to activate. You need a whopping 100 rage in order to do any of your sync techs in the same turn that you activate a technique. And that's before stuff like Divide and Focus. Some changes are required to make this less of a hurdle.

2) You don't have any manner of gaining rage fast. You only attack once, and not as powerfully as a Slayer (and with less resistance and you even have weaknesses). You are by yourself so every attack that hits you is usually a big concern. You only can carry 3 items (if I recall correct), so it's not like you can spam Rage Rockets if you want to carry healing items.

3) Yes, you can shift into different forms, so you got a bit of diversity, but that's part of the problem. Basically, only one of those forms are helping you at any time in combat. When you're using any one form, the others are sitting there uselessly while the form you ARE using is less effective than if you were a slayer or even two pokemons sometimes. Multiform transformation classes works best when you are effective in almost everything but stand out with one or two particular strengths and one or two particular weakness/defiency.


What I propose!

1) Change Paradigm Shift so it costs 20 rage each use and you start with three uses, instead of you having to pay the 60 rage up front when you just want to use one turn's worth to cast a technique. That'll make the rage cost to you more mangagable (Thus the Deva 4 upgrade of making Paradigm shift last 5 turns instead gives you 2 extra uses.) Also allow rage gain to be possible when attacking or being attacked. (Level 1)

2) Increased Item storage so you can carry more Rage rockets or healing items. (Level 2-3 upgrade?)

3) Pokebrids can equip pokemon items much like real pokemons can. Let's allow a custom item for you at level 4 (now) or 5 if you intend to go Pokebrid next level too. You can probably come up with an item that gives you rage or helps protect you or alter your moves to something damn useful.

4) Change Sync Techs so you don't NEED to be in Paradigm shift to use it, but that it gains an immense boost of some sort if you are in them, like an additional valuable effect or just plain more power. I'd be iffy about lowering costs because I still think spamming techniques should really should only be done in more ideal situations. With the above changes, you could enter Paradigm Shift and cast two Sync Tech if you had the maximum of 100 rage.

5) Maybe an extra action specifically for status moves like buffing or status ailments or something like that at higher levels. (Kinda like a Double Attack, but not quite) Of course, I'd suggest that Protect/Detect be left out of the picture. Otherwise, you could feasibly cast Protect every turn or two while still being able to attack.
