They should just delete AST

Saying "variety" in the cards was good, and made AST better, is a lie because the different cards just made AST frustrating because it relied too heavily on RNG to be optimal.

actually it proves you are wrong, because new astro is less effective than old astro in buffs, and in heals in current Savage content. Even the old loser cards were more dps, and effectiveness than the new system. Right now, you work harder for weaker buffs, with less uptime and less adaptability.

talking about Savage balance is dumb, savage always wants the most effective system, regardless of fun/design/flavor. The fact that astro was overall nerfed meant that no matter what they did, it was going to be crap in Savage.

proof is simple, old astro saw more Savage use, new astro wont.

Man, all I really hope for these "fIsHeD FoR BaLaNcE" squad is that they never get their favorite class / job changed beyond recognition, this seal system and balance dispenser may as well have been the 4th healer, whether "WaSnT OpTiMaL / YoU WeReNt pLaYiNg iT RiGhT" is what we enjoyed playing for 4 years, and even if this was inevitable the very least SE could have done is to let us know.

All these raiders talking like if old AST was problematic and pretty much unplayable, yet they all brought one to their parties and cleared content perfectly fine.

Buff management from TD and CO gone too.

I mean, the changes have worked so great you can see everyone bringing an AST to normal content and savage, take all these deeps, right?... right?

As per the recent live letter. The devs view the current ast (and other healers) as finished classes no changes will be made. Be happy with this healer expansion where they deleted the flavor, uniqueness, and fun of each healer class cause no changes are needed.
