    In a group scenario, I think the DPS who can make use of it the most would be DRG (Jump / Leg Sweep) NIN (Ninjutsu) and MCN (Quick Reload). All of these are thirty second abilities or less that they use frequently so they should always be able to make use of the recast effect. If you get some of their bigger buffs in the process, bonus!

    Alternatively, just give it to yourself or the other healer, as most healers tend to save their CDs for "O SNAP" moments.

    That or just keep RRing it for the bonus effect =p That's how I see it.

    I think the issue most of us have with the card is not that we don't have an idea what to do with it, it's the fact that the card is so much less useful/harder to use than ANY OF THE OTHER ONES.
    Basically, you have 5 cards that act the same, are useful on (not exactly, but pretty close) the same level, and then you have the Spear card.

    Yep, I understand, just trying to give my two cents as the card itself isn't quite as straight forward as the other cards and only specific class/jobs will be able to make the most out of it. While it's nice to AoE everything via RR, sometimes it might be the best idea. For example, you RR Spear, and you get Spire, except your DPS composition is BLM SMN SMN NIN. Okay, so only three people can make use of Spire (both tanks + NIN). Or say you get Bole, but there's no serious AoE coming out in the next 15 seconds and only the MT is taking damage.

    Spear is a niche card compared to the six and probably the weakest, so I'm just trying to help others figure out a thought process behind it to at least make it more viable. It's not useless, but certainly a lot more niche than the other cards.

    Hmm. Not all abilities in this game will be on par. Plenty of jobs have near useless to barely niche abilities. Overall Astrologian buffs are very powerful. You cannot use that card on yourself at the least before you use your mana regen cooldown if you cannot coordinate well with others?

    Use Spear on classes that have short cds they use often example-bard's bloodletter. I have been told its great for mch too. Or royal road for aoes, whatever.

    I personally would never expect every card to be perfectly balanced. There will always be ones that are better overall/more ideal than the others. But with that said, they should all be balanced enough that they are least in the same ballpark. As of right now, that's the case for 5/6 of them. Spear is just very far behind and needs a little something to get it closer to the rest.
