The only reworks I haven't enjoyed so far are Astrologian. Not because the reworks were bad, but because the devs keep trying to save a failed class design mechanic, the card system.

I'm rather optimistic about it because DRG is kind of in a bleh state, and AST is the third least played class, behind only BLM and BRD, with all 3 of those needing various degrees of reworking as well.

I've also enjoyed every rework the devs have ever done, with the worst rework being turning Summoner into a ranged physical class with fights designed in such a way that pure casters like RDM and especially BLM ended up being garbage for most players.
