Stella was decent in PVP, I used it a ton. Sadly, with the new PVP changes there was no need for it to exist anymore, so it was removed. Beautiful animation gone to waste.

Tbh though I'd be fine with Combust II and Combust I being made separate again (maybe both instant-cast to deal with the clipping issue AST has with cards? idk, I'd rather cards just not be so animation-locky myself, so that you can fit the card draw AND use into a single oGCD). It seems like semantics but upkeeping two DoTs IS more interesting than upkeeping one long-ass one and spamming a filler in between. AST DPS is some of the most boring garbage on the planet, which sucks because you're forced into it so often due to encounter design.
