DT AST is Unpleasant to Play Now

i tried to get back to AST after dropping it in shadowbringers but i hate this current system. the cards are so boring? its literally here you go tank, and 1 dmg increase to a dps. God I miss heavensward AST so bad lol

They've now eventually gutted (at least) two of the things that gave the class actual flavour -- sects and RNG in the cards. Why have cards now if they're not random? What deck of cards are they using that come out the same every time, hmm?

And now the job gauge is also useless.

I've been maining AST since HW and it's just no longer fun. Even the sign chasing for Astrodyne was more fun than this :(
