I must've missed the part where I said I only wanted balance, I just pointed out consistency was the old system's biggest flaw, consistency works for getting boles, arrows, spears, Ewers and yes even the odd spire, can't tell you the amount I times I wished for a single bole in dungeons with 0 cd tanks or a times where I raised entire party via lightspeed and I want an ewer just so I don't go oom while waiting for Lucid. Even getting the way to secure either the card you want for RR or using it, on a 2 min cd would go a long way to making old system better.

I raided a lot on healers prior to ShB but I also did everything else with them too, I fully understood that holding anything for too long was bad and minor arcana did wonders for allievating the old RR getting overwritten or dropping a card (lets face it aoe spire was very much the lowest point and minor arcana got rid of it as a possibility entirely).

Also really need to read some of my posts in other threads I am a huge supporter of getting old system back, if I really wanted consistent dmg buffs and only dmg buffs I wouldn't want that

I just know they are plenty enough people who enjoy current Ast, and honestly they want to see Ast improve too just with this current system so I do like to engage with them to see if any ideas of theirs seems like it may get me to enjoy Ast again.
