AST Cards: Why they aren't fun and how they can be made better

[Seraphor]

Need to stop asking for them to revert the changes. It's never going to happen.

They don't go back on decisions like this when they've put this much effort into it.
It's not like they just changed the card effects, they made an entirely new system (seals, divination) and a load of new graphical assets for it.

They also likely made the changes for valid balancing issues.

Crit and Speed are tricky to balance. Crit scales exponentially across an expansion, and some jobs HATE speed, causing clipping and rotation drift.

In addition, having healer toolkit skills, Bole and Ewer, makes it difficult to balance the healers.
Do they count AST as having a 10% mitigation skill every 30s? Or do they discount it because you might not draw it?

They keep saying this expansion is about balancing the healers, and the card changes are a big part of that.


There are still issues though, and things like making Redraw only draw different seals, etc. should be implemented. That's what you should be asking for.
Reasonable request may get answered, unreasonable ones will be completely ignored.
