The Bard example is a perfect one. Sure.. Balance makes 'all' their attacks hit just slightly harder than they otherwise would. But a Boosted Spear helps one of their skills be 'able' to be used more than it otherwise would have, so instead of just hitting for 20 extra damage, you get a full 200+ extra damage you otherwise wouldnt have had. Then you have the Repertoire effect, which gets absolutly 0 help from Balance, but gets a direct boost from Spear.
You are claiming that the other cards are useful but the only example you are giving is about a card that I said you want to pull in my second post? Balance and Spear are fine. Everything else either sucks or is very situational depending on your build. And even your BRD example is kinda trash because in ShB the procs aren't based on crit anymore. And I brought up Arrow as an example of a situational card. You only want to draw Arrow if you have a BLM or a SS SAM in your party, nothing else. Most, if not all jobs, want there SS to a specific point so their rotation can be consistent. So, unless you have those two jobs, the Arrow goes to the trash. Same with Bole, Spire and Ewer. They are only ever situational.
