Ast cards now: Royal road/minor arcana ewer or spire, maybe use ewer on a healer that died if you have it for fodder.
Maybe use a spire on a dps in dungeons for aoe.

Fishing for spear for monks and bards and balance for everybody, arrow could go on the caster in case you get nothing else. But what everybody wants is balance since balance is the best anyways.

Repeat.
Get bad cards and just minor arcana them since you can't do anything else with ewers and spires other than royal road but it's already on aoe.

But the decisions of maybe spreading a bole is gone, oh no, just use aspected helios in shield and or use the bubble, the bubble is amazing, asts don't use the bubble, why not use bubble, bubble nice, bubble friend.
The ability to help a res'ed healer is gone but what ast usually holds anything but an balance/spear or maybe pity arrow?

Ast cards in shadowbringers:
Still rng, but now ranged and melee are seperated. Each has 3 cards, each different card has a different seal. ALL are balances, all have the same effect
YOu want to fish for the buff your team needs depending on what class they are(don't forget that it will take more time in 8player content) to get 3 seals to use divination for an extra buff, repeat.

What you lose: Aoe, bole, tp/mp management tools that 90% aren't used since the ewer/spire got foddered off already for minor arcana or royal road.


Also, bards procs will not be dependant on crit anymore, they don't need spears anymore.

And you can't tell me that your tank loves getting a bole after an aoe balance because they apparently can't have it. ANd that it's really needed.
It's just a nice tool to have but the actual usability of it is niche at best.


TBH it doesn't sound too different to me, it's just different... dunno man, i will see. But the cards are the tiniest problemchange in my opinion since it's a tastething and we can't really talk about a TASTE thing without being able to actually TEST it. SInce looking is still different than playing yourself.
