I think the entire game around GCD and two minute buff meta needs to be reworked. You should never feel punished or nerfed for having haste buffs, it should only be strict DPS gains. Ewer didn't work on DRK in HW, as Dark Side prevented any external MP regen (including Mage's Ballad) so it meant DRKs had to maintain their own MP. It was really fun, because if you were careless and spammed Dark Arts too much, your Dark Side would fall off at 0 MP as it constantly drained MP and needed to drain MP to keep up. As for Spire, I think Bole should be physical damage reduction and Spire be magic. Ewer can continue to give MP, and just throw it on healers or mages. Not every card has to be useful for every job.
