The Problem with Astrologian

[Nhala_Levee]

Hmm. Not bad at all. I wanted back the old AST as it was before, cause i loved its style. Loved the RNG in it. Cause of the RNG its realy felt that way, the fate itself show my way. As an astrologian must be.

The RNG would be fine if it was some sort of smart RNG. But when you have a party full of melee and you get cards that primarily buff ranged 3 or more times in a row. What is fate telling you then? Stop playing AST? Lol. I should not be allowed to draw cards so often that are of little use. I feel like people associate Astrologians with RNG way too much and that RNG has to be this great part of AST. But it's not and actually makes less sense that an Astrologian would pull cards they don't need.

Not to mention when you are trying to get the last seal for the 6% Divination buff and you use draw and then redraw 3 times and still don't get the last seal you'd like. Is FATE telling me to give my party members less of a damage boost? No! It's just the dumb RNG system. Too much RNG in AST. I like to play it and I don't mind a little RNG, but there needs to be less of it. Like I said before, the RNG needs to be smarter.

Minor Arcana.

Yeah, that's it. That's the whole story. Minor Arcana.

On top of that, put Redraw back to one stack. Having three different stacks encourages using them as much as possible to hunt for the right seals you need rather than taking what you're given, working with it, and planning out your plays and redraws to get the unique seals alongside the card buffs.

Minor Arcana should not have changed at all. Lord and Lady would've been better off as their own button each with a gimmick/mechanic that gives you access to them. The issue that they took away Lady as a OGCD heal and gave it to us back as a second charge for ED is amusing to a degree.

I feel that the best way to achieve something like this would be to take the themes they are approaching and make them a better function


Solar,Lunar,Celestial runes summon 2 cards (maybe the same sets) with a shorter cool down and no direct effect. And when getting two halves of each seal, said seal does something.


Solar is some form of Aoe with no drop-downs
Lunar is a restorative/defensive Aoe.
Celestial is a party buff for damage and crits.

You misunderstands my words. Im talking about the Astrologian. The real one. Not this piece of crap that now called ast. So there is no any role resctricted card. RNG always was smart cause in the old deck was not any useless card. Maybe Balance, but that can be in some rare situation or for Royal Road to boost some of the useful ones.
And yes, AST main stat must be RNG, and it WAS good with normal cards.
