People should whether they like or hate something be vocal about it because just doing it when you hate leads to constant back and forth changes.

Personally I prefer this version rather than the prior one but it most definitely can be improved further.

Also controller player here did some savage with it, hated it, just because I can do workarounds does not mean I like the skill that forces it, i wanted Sleeve Draw improved, it did, but it came at a weird cost so I think it most definitely can be improved further though I won't support anything that tries to bring the old version or add charges it just creates the hassle it used to, CD reduction sure got my vote for that or a way to quicker refresh outside combat for Draw all ears.


It was an issue for many players at least enough for SE to do something, didn't help Ast was the least played healer by a fair amount. Your biggest bet is that enough people complain AND participation remains as low as it has been else they will consider the change a success and move on from there. Wish you luck with that especially since Ast is now staying strong while having next to no issues that would alienate people anymore.

Also gotta love that it was all 3 HW jobs that got a huge design reboot on their core mechanic and Ast was the one people least wanted changed outta the 3 and boy does it show with the complaints since before 5.0.

SE cannot win here, ever, they made a radical design shift and they are stuck getting dragged all over the place because of it, someone is taking the Ast bullet this time it is the group that liked old Sleeve Draw, bet next time it'll be the group that likes mp.
