    Initially, you can't really compare Royal Road and the current system because it does not work the same at all. Sure it was stronger, quicker to set up and more controller friendly. But it's gone :').

    From what I see in your Steps, you can just do that easily if you target people while casting / Drawing etc.
    Sleeve Draw is your hardest moment (especially in the opener), but the first one is coupled to Lightspeed so you can get more room there. Then you can easily take 1-2 GCD per card for subsequent uses of Sleeve Draw. As long as you keep your GCD rolling, you're fine.

    Also I can advise using a "Malefic <tt>" macro, so you keep casting your DPS spell even while targeting party members. It's quite efficient for controller


    Because the ONLY good thing about the new card system is that Draw / Play difference. You can use Draw on CD, and it will start resetting while you can pocket the card for a little bit and Play it when you want to, without losing Draws on the course of a fight.

    I wouldn't even call that a good thing, becaude Earthly star does the same thing (cooldown starts ticking as soon as you click it) yet it only needs one button. Draw/Play could definitely be merged into one button.

    I 100% disagree full-heartedly. xD And that's okay, different opinions are healthy. I hear what you're saying, and a couple others suggested "fixes," but honestly, I don't think that should be necessary + macro delay as others mentioned. This execution system seems like an overcomplicated downgrade to me. If anything, I'd throw out a conspiracy theory and say they just made them separate buttons so they didn't have to come up with an extra skill to "balance" AST's the amount of skills AST has vs other classes. (But it's a far fetched conspiracy theory with absolutely nothing to back it up x'D)

    I won't be coming back to FFXIV's forums. The forum vibe is way too venomous and brings out the worst in me. I don't like who I am on the forums, so it's best to distance myself.
