Astro changes 5.1

[416to305]

I was one of the people that really disliked the card changes and even quit AST after making it my main since release but recently switched back to it. I definitely prefer the old cards, as it was satisfying when things went south being able to use an Ewer or Bole and whatnot, however as much as I hate to say it I really don't mind AST as it is right now. My biggest issue was when Divination had such a long cooldown. Now that it's shorter I find I enjoy it much more, as by the time you have the 3 seals generally Divination is pretty close to being ready again. When I think back to how often you actually would use a RR Balance before, I feel like Divination comes up just as often if not more and is satisfying when you can deploy it. I also like how there's less competition when you have another AST in the party, as that was always a huge pain having to constantly watch what cards they were using so that you don't accidentally overwrite the RR Balance they just did with your RR Spear that you hit 2 seconds after.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I actually really like playing in Nocturnal Sect and pretty much only use it unless I'm with a SCH. I find Celestial Opposition is super satisfying as well using it as a shield, and Neutral Sect also feels pretty badass. I don't do savage anything though so I understand a lot of issues come from that realm, but in terms of normal content, latest dungeons, EX and so on I prefer it.

I just wish that Horoscope triggered automatically at the end as I find it gets wasted often times.

See I find it to be the opposite. There’s even more competition when in a double Ast situation. None of our buffs stack. I can’t even tell you how many times I got stuck with another Ast when I decide to give it a chance, and my divination is wasted because the other Ast used theirs right after mine. So many lord or lady cards wasted by being replaced with lower potency cards or cards used on the wrong kind of dps. Being able to get out even more buffs makes you run into this issue a lot. The only time I never had an issue was the one Ast that didn’t use any cards. More often than not my stuff gets overwritten by cards that are on the wrong kind of dps. It’s so infuriating. So much potential dps boost wasted. I dunno.

I’m not a fan of this new Ast card system. I try to like it, but I just can’t play Ast the way it is right now, which makes me sad since I Mained it since it’s release. At least I have white mage c:
