5.0 AST is a failure

I really dont mind the new card/seal system. My issue with AST currently is their skills have stupidly long CDs for very little potency.

and heals so weak it feels like your not even healing at times.

agreed
though, i'd feel better about the card system if it wasn't seven buttons dedicated to a 4% overall damage increase for one target, with a splash of 6% raid increase every threeminutes

it really is just trashy, ignoring all the whines about "muh utility" and other dumb excuses people have about the previous cards being "better"
having to nerf the cards is fine, but it wasn't just a "nerf", we literally got garbage as a replacement, that's my issue

assuming WHM are the hard-casters for both dps and healing, SCH are the hard-cast dps with oGCD healing, and AST are the hard-cast healers with oGCD dps, it's not really a bad concept overall

it's just.... literally why

is 4% damage really worth the hard-cast losses and seven buttons to work with?
especially when you're still at the mercy of someone elses damage output being the higher out of who you're throwing cards at, or them being able to squeeze out the most of their rotation during your card throw, or the RNG itself depending on if you even have a melee/ranged dps

When it comes to DPS its no contest, ASTs cards wont bring enough difference due to how weak and short duration they are for the amount of effort you need to put into them for Divination windows.

so.... yea, the answer to my question would be a hard no, thanks, i didn't even read this at first
