Buffing Combust and malefic, will not ever be in my mind a good substitute for the lack of passion towards this class.
You mean the rng locked utility that only gave the illusion of usefulness because of a cognitive bias towards the sparse moments that you actually had the right card for the right time? Let\\'s take a look now.

Bole: Now you have CU, Diurnal Intersection, andNocturnal and Nuetral Aspected spells. CU is even getting buffed next patch to where its effectively an AoE Bole in Nocturnal Sect. Ast has options to cover mitigation WITHOUT relying on luck.

Ewer: if you noticed, ast is not the only class that\\'s lost its external MP restoration. Ranged Physical lost their Refresh and Caster dps lost Mana Shift. The intent seems to be having MP management be a personal responsibility. While AST does need help in the MP department. Tying it to luck and randomness is not the way to do itm

Spire: TP\\'s gone. Even then TP restoration was rarely needed.

Could they do stuff like making Spear and Arrow give crit and haste again and like give Ewer and Spire something like +det or +DH? Sure they can. But unfortunately, those minmaxers that ruined the class for you are just going to figure out which card\\'s the best and it will go back to fishing for the best one.
