AST changes, where we're still weak, and why I'm not upset with Yoshi-P...

Ofcourse the other cards manage to be useful, they better be !

I wasn't arguing on the fact it's the only OMGWTFBBQ card, but rather that it's NOT the worst card and can ALWAYS be useful.

No sane AST will pop every oGCD when a Spear comes up. But over the duration of a fight like A1S (8m30) or A3S (13m30) you'll pop them one after another depending on the situation multiple times.

I was emphasizing on the fact that when a Spear comes up, with the amount of oGCD we have, there will always be at least one to use under the effects of the Spear. Hell, even if you already spent everything, the Spear will guarantee a 24s cooldown on Draw when using it.

Balance and Arrow are only considered better because you can see their effect immediately, where Spear takes some time to actually feel its presence.

As you said "In practice" i always had a cooldown to use within the 15 seconds of drawing a spear (and i mean cooldowns I have to use, not cooldowns I pop because I see a spear and don't wanna waste it). When you find a use for it 90% of the time, i don't call it situational anymore.
