New AST from a New Player

[Billythepancake]

Fishing for cards sounds less like an inherent issue and more a natural outcome of a mechanic designed around RNG. Wanting to draw a Balance seemed par for the course, but like with anything chance-based, shouldn't the desired outcome be considered a reward and not a necessity?

Relying so heavily on a single outcome of six just sounds like setting oneself up for frustration, as opposed to anticipating the possibilities the next Draw may bring to the current situation. A bit of an unfair statement, but if people are so focused on consistency there are other jobs that may be more to their satisfaction, which I only mention because AST did not need to be that job.

At most, tools to mitigate unfavorable outcomes like Redraw should have sufficed. The changes just seem so heavy-handed and unwarranted.

That's the part that gets me, like, the class is card based. Cards are, by nature, random and unpredictable, so having them tied to RNG I don't think is a problem. A way to force the card you want at a cost would've been a nice addition to AST, instead of outright removing what a lot of people loved about the class in the first place.
