EW AST Redraw needs improvement

[Sqwall]

Honestly, AST where it is in Endwalker feels different, but a workable class. Save for one thing: Redraw

Redraw needs a cooldown with some additional uses, much like it was in post 5.3 ShB, or make Redraw guarantee a card with an arcana that isn't present in your job-gauge already, much like Sleeve Draw post 5.3 ShB.

Everything else for Endwalker Astrologian I can work with. It just feels like I'm wasting Arcana without some way to draw another card for something I don't already have in my job-gauge.

Coming from someone who mained Astrologian in the last half of Shadowbringers.

Thanks SQEX!

I brought this up after the extensive information that came out of the media tour.

Redraw was going to feel..off. And after playing AST in 6.0....my thoughts are the same.

Redraw not having multiple charges took a some getting used to. And it kind of left me hanging after I'm stuck with a seal I don't need.

But then I thought about it a little.

Seals aren't as important in 6.0 as they were in 5.0. Simply because the seals are tied to your personal buff Astrodyne. This took quite a bit of getting used to, as I felt like a failure when I got only 2 seals for my Astrodyne, but then again I remember...it only affects me!

Astrodyne not being tied to buffing the party directly is kind of....nice. So...it's ok if the RNG is crap? I still hit Astrodyne anyway as I want that MP regen and Speed. Better luck next time.

I think AST (and i'm speaking for myself here) was incredibly spoiled in Shadowbringers. I never had to worry about RNG at all as it was so easy to get out a 6% divination. After they changed sleeve draw for a 100% chance on the final seal...Divination was a NEVER MISS buff. I never redrawed on the first draw, I at most redrawed 2 times on second draw, and only redrawed every other 3rd draw due to sleeve draw being there every other divination.

6.0 The just isn't a real need to compile those seals perfectly. Once I figured this out...drawing cards just became something I did naturally and with less emphasis. It was....relaxing...and stress free when I got a seal I didn't need....because it didn't matter. Would I have liked that 3rd different seal...sure....but thems the breaks with RNG. RNG not being tied to a party buff just pulls back the let down of the outcome.
