As for the "diverting time away from dps and healing." Did you forget about the cast times on Malefic, Gravity, and Benefic I? Aspected Benefic and Combust being instant? The Lightspeed cooldown giving you double weaving space on everything else.? Even the controller gives you the ability the hard target one thing then soft target your party members to heal/buff them.
I do not play this game to only care about my damage parse. I play this game to have fun, in my honest opinion it's people like that, that have literally destroyed my favorite class in the game "Fishing for balance". The Update to Minor arcana is a QoL for console players. There's no joy in having your utility gutted and downgraded to all damage cards, that's a joke. Buffing Combust and malefic, will not ever be in my mind a good substitute for the lack of passion towards this class.
