Even as a raider, I’d give anything for Ewers to give MP again, and for a nicely juicy Bole in dungeons to give the tank during a large pull.
I really hope SE goes the bowmage route again, keeping AST horrible for two years before admitting their mistakes and reworking it for 6.0 into something that's universally loved.

Because right now what I'm afraid of is seeing AST gradually buffed into a state of accepable mediocrity, something that works but is nothing but a shadow of its former self.
And it's what's happening. AST still feels as bad as in 5.0, but now it's top tier again.
