Rework undraw

[Kraniel]

I disagree with this, i don't think they should rework Undraw. I think it's just fine where it is, IN THE TRASH.

They should give AST another skill instead, that's all. Bring back Time Dilation/another fancy move please.

I am totally on board with restoring Time Dilation -- AND the stun for Celestial Opposition. I mean seriously, if another healer job can keep their AE stun, why shouldn't AST?

Yeah honestly i think Time Dilation is what i miss the most from the old AST. I also miss the card variety and the ability to spread buffs around the team. I wish they would reintroduce one of these mechanics instead of leaving us with a skill that literally no one includes in their hotbar ...

Now that my main (WHM) is in a good spot, i decided to get back to AST a bit and frankly, it feels like unfinished work. SE should definitely do some clean-up.

WHM also has a useless skill, and even gave the other two one this expansion (fluid Aura and repose).

You're right, i never use Repose and Fluid Aura as WHM, but still it's not comparable to Undraw.
Since AST can only use one card at a time now, you might as well just dump the card on someone randomly, or just wait for the end of the Draw CD. In no situation ever will Undraw be of any help. And unlike Fluid Aura and Repose, you can't even use it for fun, since its only effect is to throw away your card without any animation whatsoever.

But really what bothers me the most is the fact that it's so apparent that SE just didn't care.
Even with the old AST, Undraw was almost never used, and for some reason, when they had their big healing jobs overhaul, they thought "Ah, Undraw ? Meh, let's just leave it there, whatever.". I mean, they could have easily swapped it with something more useful, or like OP said, tweaked it a bit so that it had at least some use cases (even niche ones).

This. I'll happily take back Time Dilation or Disable, ty
