Hi! i want to talk about the demo class and his armor set choices in the game.
i have seen a great variety of armor sets for the demo class, but there is an issue, most of them have ELEMENTAL defense
a long time ago there was a new set introduce that has PIERCING defense wich was a really nice addition because before that there was no set with piercing defense for DEMO, i have been playing so much of it and it is a really nice play style
anyways the issue i came to discuss is about is that there is no accesible shadow defense set for the demo class to craft
something that you can get anytime in the game no matter what, the KAT HISS armor set is the ONLY option for demo that has shadow defense, but is not something you can get whenever you want in the game, only during a kataclysmic confrontation event
wich is sad, so i was looking at the bombastic demo set, and i realize that maybe at some point it was meant to have SHADOW defense and not elemental, because it also have freeze status resist and is also shown on the Kataclysmic event official artwork that we always see when the event is shown on the page, that artwork that has been used ever since the event was introduced on 30 January 2013
well, the whole solution to this would be to change the bombastic demo suit base defense from elemental to SHADOW, just to have an accesible demo armor set that provides shadow defense and have more options rather than just elemental for every set
and to be more accesible for all players unaware of the kat Tribe armor sets (wich also could use a little buff, except black kat)
recently i was able to craft the Kat Hiss Cowl, but only because i had some tokens laying around and you can also buy Kat Tribe Fetish materials on the auction house for a cheap price.
is not like something CRAZY INSANE that needs to be done ASAP, but something nice that players might appreciate
myself included, if it happens it would be awesome, but if not, thats totally fine.
thankyou for reading.

Yeah, you can get it only twice per year, but that's not a giant problem. The real problem is that the suit requires Wicked Whiskers, which are ultra-expensive. If Wicked Whiskers weren't required, then Kat Hiss would be a legitimate shadow-defense armor line with decent bombing abilities. That would solve your entire issue.
In general, your point stands. A lot of these armors have not been rebalanced since pretty much the launch of the game, when damage types were still in flux and there was a lot of not-entirely-thoughtful design.
