5.0 AST is a failure

[Donnicton]

Regarding cards, they probably thought about it from a DPS perspective (more damage up = better, right?), and figured that was enough.

Considering how many players screeched at 4.0 ASTs that +damage is the only card they should ever be using, it's hard to imagine how Square got that idea...

Thank god, AST is fixed.
See ya'll in a year after they've reworked the rework, fixed the reworked rework, and nerf the fixed reworked rework.

First mini-patches after an expansion never had significant changes. You will see most changes in the following one once the jobs have been used in raid content.

What were you expecting? This patch is mostly about releasing the raid as plenty are chomping at the bit to get in there. They are going to want to compile the raid data before screwing around with potencies, and full blown overhauls like what some are requesting be done to AST card system won't happen at all this expansion. The MP reductions to both Gravity and Art of War are actually quite welcome. Even with the note there saying that more changes are coming in 5.05, I would keep expectations at a very reasonable level.

* The changes to job actions in 5.01 only included adjustments to parameters such as potency and effect duration. However, further changes are planned for Patch 5.05.

i disagree with everything you said. just sounds like another "im crying healer attention thread and the ways you suggested to fix it would break the game beyond repair. more words doesnt mean quality

as a scholar main i feel bad for you guys i'll admit our situation sucks in terms of playability but at least it can function cause of numbers and such. after what i have read here though it pretty much sounds unplayable or to the point it would never be worth it. i really hope you guys get some stuff to work with in a very soon patch/hotfix or whatever cause its sounds downright miserable from what's here. for anyone who still keeps sticking it out hoping things get better and sorry that you guys REALLY got the short end of the stick.

...So of all the potencies and effect duration adjustments they could have made, you guys are fine with 100MP off of gravity?
I'm sorry I'm new here, I didn't realize people were so comfortable with this pace.

"Shadowbringers hasn't even come out yet! At least wait for the patch notes!"
"It's just the patch notes! You need to actually try it first!"
"It's only been one day! Get to level 80 before you judge!"
"Of course you can't expect fixes in 2 weeks, wait for patch 5.05!"
"Now that 5.05 they need to compile raid data first! Give them at least another month!"

I guess that's one way to keep subscriptions up.
I thought I was kidding about the one year thing, but peace out
