This might be a strech but..
1. I propose making his overguard optional for other players but still automatically applying to him. I was thinking along the lines of how Volt's shield works (not disruptive) or maybe turn the overguard into a flying shield the size of his book making it like Wisp's motes where you need to pick up the "buff". That will give others the option to take the overguard or not.
2. Revert his overguard gain but keep his max cap low.
3. I also suggest removing the LOS but decreasing the range of his 4th ability. Instead of maxing out at 79-ish meters with mods. Make the max range around 50m.
Please consider these since his whole kit makes it difficult to subsume abilities on him. Choosing to make him a weapons platform frame isn't comfy to use. He demands thought to his prep and is acquired very late in the game. Making it harder to use Dante removes the incentive to pick him over other frames since earlier ones can do what he does but better (in terms of nuking).
I haven't been one to complain but this one made me squint my eyes when I read the changes.
His Noctua would be good for support even with the "kill" requirements of the tome mods but what good is that if his Tragedy is bad. I don't want to be forced to use his book just for the DPS and having to come up with builds like melee crescendo and secondary outburst.
Lastly, I know he is a versatile frame. Please keep him that way. And more importantly (but also what I'm basically saying is), don't lessen the fun in playing him. He was the first frame I got that made me say "I'm going to finally main a frame". I was glad to spend plat on him but now I'm not. I bought all of the frames I have thru other players, prime access and market collections. The only I farmed was Equinox prime and Hyrdoid prime (which I really did not enjoy using BTW). I play the game for fun and don't mind spending is all I'm saying. Please make him fun to use again.
Sincerely,
A big spender and a long time player (started 2016)
