EW AST Redraw needs improvement

[Liam_Harper]

At worst you will get to reliably and consistently increase your spell speed which obviously affects your DPS and healing very favourably over the course of a fight.

I don't think many people understand how little impact Astrodyne has. It's not a "very favorable increase", it's a minuscule one. You don't even get an extra Malefic from each 2 seal effect. Both effects are barely 100 potency worth each.
There's a big focus on the RNG and how 3 seal is mainly a bonus, which is correct, but less focus on how Astrodyne is just a weak ability and a waste of buttons for what mainly amounts to extra MP.

I think you fail to realize that the bigger of an impact it has, the more RNG that needs to be stripped of it. If Astrodyne gave a huge increase to the AST, then we wouldn't hear the end of it unless RNG mitigation is also a part of AST kit, which leads to button bloat and a high APM. You also can't look at Astrodyne as just Astrodyne. You have to look at how the entire card mechanic works, and the steady DPS increases the AST gives to acquire the seals to use it.

The card mech had its biggest impact in SB, and it needed a ton of RNG mitigation in order to ensure that impact was happening on a steady basis. The eventuality of this is the current form of Divination. You are literally trying to go down the same path with Astrodyne, and are building real-estate around it to become just a button you press. That doesn't mean that effects and potencies can't be adjusted, but for the most part Astrodyne is what it is. And it is not meant to greatly impact the AST.
