    Player decision doesn't affect the CHANCE at drawing the card in that regard.

    Yes, but they specifically mentioned the chance of getting an AoE balance, not the odds of drawing the Balance card.

    We're literally saying the same thing ("Player decision doesn't affect the CHANCE at drawing the card" vs. "all cards have the same chance of being drawn").

    Perhaps I misunderstood. The chance at getting an AoE Balance depends on the chance at getting a Balance and a Ewer/Spire. While players affect which of these cards they RR/Spread, they don't affect the chance at drawing them (outside of Redraw, which ups the chances a bit due to non-replacement), that's the point I'm trying to make. I'm sure we're saying the same thing, and I apologize for the confusion in that regard. Since Stormblood launched, Astros have had their heads on the chopping block within this forum because we're not in the "dampened" state as the other healers, so forgive me if I come across as anything less than informative.
