AST Adjustments 6.2

how do macros give ast more buttons? the point is to make macros functional so you can consolidate actions and the like

Because a macro is a button that you would link to a hotbar, the classical setup is to have a “play” macro for each position on the party list besides yourself, that’s 7 extra buttons you’d need to find a spot for

a macro is anything you want it to be, you can make it switch hotbars too like controller users do

Used to be an AST main before Shadowbringers. However since they can't stop touching the job I decided to just not touch it at all beyond leveling it up. Gonna be a long wait I guess.

giving the class that already has the worst button bloat in the game

Not to distract from the previous line of conversation, but why do people keep saying this? It's not at all true.

AST takes up the same number of hotbar slots as jobs such as PLD, NIN, and SAM.
It's only 1-2 slots more than some others, an example being its fellow healer; SCH.

Does it have a lot of things you can/need to press? Yes. Is it more than jobs like SMN or MCH? Yes. Does it have some areas it could probably use some cleaning up? For sure.
But can we stop band-wagoning this "Oh my god, it has the worst button bloat" nonsense? (This isn't to attack you specifically: I see a lot of people say this way more often than seems needed.)

I just really want sleeve draw animation back. I like the current draw animation but I’ll love to have the sleeve draw animation for draw.

AST and SCH have 34 buttons, PLD has 33, NIN and SAM have 32. AST may have Undraw and SCH has two summon buttons with no differences, but they're still tied for the most.

from AST main, just give us auto-draw when the hand is empty, should be enough already and remove lady of crown(the overheal arcana)

Watch them become group-wide like in pvp.

Watch them become group-wide like in pvp.

I'd have no issue with every card just automatically being a spread if they introduce more interesting card effects again, it's kinda what you were fishing for anyway before they turned everything into balance lite.
