Uh, Richard, no offense, but I think you need to stop talking about math ^^;

Forgive me father, for I have sinned: i was tired and forgot to divide by two (I'll flog myself later in penance, don't you worry).

That totally justifies telling me that I "need to stop talking about math", which is then totally not offensive because it was prefaced with "no offense".

Never mind the fact that I was wrong in my favor, meaning my argument was actually stronger than I stated, so it's not like I was trying to mislead anyone.

Besides, if I stopped talking about math, who would you be smarmy and condescending to?

Overall, the more I think about it, the happier I am with how the card system is. It needs a few minor tweaks - my gut instinct tells me increasing Balance and Arrow by 2% would be nice,or reducing Draw to a 20-25s CD would be great too.

The more I think about it, the more astonished I am that you can revel in the math of this discussion like a, no offense, pig rolling in filth, yet somehow still completely miss the point of it...

We're talking about the fact that the buffs do not compensate for the AST's overall craptacular healing and terribad mana management. No amount of card micromanaging is going to change that fact.

Either the cards make a HUGE impact on ending the fight more quickly or the AST needs to have its healing potencies dramatically increased.

And you think a 2% increase on Bole and Balance is going to fix anything? Or these generally crap buffs arriving 5-10 seconds faster?

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt (which is clearly more than you do for me...) and assume that in part two you follow it up with "...and some serious buffs to emergency healing potency and mana regen."
