Celestial Opposition
Extended duration of effects cast by self and party members has been increased from 5 to 10 seconds.

Literally all of this is amazing. Balance is a much more significant boost, solidifying its status as the jackpot card. Bole is much more respectable now, as it matches Sacred Soil without requiring stacking and is a basic 20% tank cooldown without enhancements.

And Redraw to 30 seconds with Draw lasting 30 seconds? I'm dying over here. So good!

Even though I don't really play the job myself, I'm really happy to see AST getting these boosts!

Btw crit heals gain more power the higher the crit stat is, right? So crit will now be even more significant stat for AST after these changes?

Balance and bole buff is huuuuuuge !
I mean enhanced bole + time dilatation + CO
And the tank got 30% damage reduction for 55sec !

It's perfection for us to dps !!!

Draw and redraw buff not so necessary but very welcome
It give Us way more flexibility with card

...

CO is impressive especially if we combine it to LA
34sec mana regen now, right ?

Yes, crit potency increases at the same rate chance does IIRC. So, however much gave 1% chance will also give an equal amount of extra potency.

The Draw/Redraw buffs are my favorite because now I don't have to figure out who's gonna get any benefit from Spear, I can just keep swapping until I get one of the three godly cards.

And now, when I get an enhanced Bole, I can make up for the lack of cooldowns used by my tank. Rofl.

And yes, we get up to 12 ticks of LA now I think.

Honestly spear i mainly use it on myself before using LA
It's kinda hard to memorise and follow all dps or tank CD rotation to make a perfect use of spear

Except on pull spear is useful for yourself or if you know a tank is using a huge cooldown or to RR it

...

For the balance... Dps are gonna lick my feet to have a 30% dmg boost

(Just imagine a BLM + foe + enochian + Raging strike + enhanced balance... Doing crit on his opener... Tank better be prepared)

Can I lick you, Nekotee?

My favorite might be the the change to Benefic II proc. Wow, so it 100% crits now?
