Learning how to properly play AST

Yep, you're right. Beta tested this with a buddy last night.

This means that you'd only get guaranteed benefits on a Bard if it's an Extended Spear, and only for Repelling Shot and Blunt Arrow. I was thinking Misery's End and Bloodletter/RoD would be affected, but they are weapon skills, as well.

I think Misery's End will be affected, because it's an off-GCD that isn't affected by Attack Speed, but it's also situational since it can only be used on the last part of any encounter. Your best bet is using the card on a NIN, MCH or SMN. I don't have any of those in my group, sadly, so I end up using Royal Road for the Spears I get, which is good.
