- You never used Bole
- you scarcely used Ewer for MP, otherwise it was royal road.

I must have been dreaming then. I always use bole and ewer is awesome for MP using classes. I even keep an ewer in case a boss goes horribly wrong and I need to refresh my MP. These card changes are terrible.

I mean, you can. But i also had asts holding ewer for bad situations and see where that went. Not used at all. And them playing with 4 cards instead of 5(draw, redraw, royal road, hold, minor arcana). Or less in case of it being a level 50 raid.
So you effectively play with always 1 card less in case something bad may happen where an ewer honestly wouldn't do much difference. Healers usually CAN recover after dying and even res some people here and there and keep them alive. As long as the rest alive does mechanics. If everybody just dies, then it is more of an extended wipe most of the time, if 2 dps comfortably stay alive, both tanks are alive and only 1 healer, it usually works but if everybody fails, it doesn't

Also using an enhanced or aoe bole for a tankbuster is flat out a waste since you, yourself, have essential dignity. It heals more damage the less hp a tank has. And most tanks know how to hit cooldowns and not take more than half damage(if they only pop one cooldown for example) and your essential+ aspected benefic should just do the same job.
Mitigating damage IS nice and all, but if you or a sch can do it on demand and reliably, wasting card uptime for that.... never felt worth it for me at all.

also as Seraphor said, you can use spear and arrows. I give arrows to caster usually, even to smn. And spear to monks and especially bards. Just because. But bole/spire/ewer are still filler cards that make you think "heh nice i'm doing this, aren't i cool that i don't just use damage ups?" while nobody else really cares nor sees a difference honestly
