I wish AST never had a DPS buff

[Risvertasashi]

The vocal minority is the reason honestly. Implying that every AST to ever main the job was just fishing for balance and nothing else when in reality most of us used what we got and the fact we never truly knew what we were going to get was what made it intriguing.

It's easy to claim this retroactively.

Every log I reviewed of high end AST players as balance, balance, balance. If another card got played, it was because their RNG wasn't playing nice. Not to mention the complaint that old versions of spear and arrow weren't useful, leading to them being changed to DPS buffs, albeit lesser ones, even before the expac.
