Having dropped AST in EW due to hating the state of it these changes make me hopeful to regain SOME feeling of SB ast cards back. Having every card be damage only was just boring. I do love the higher pacing of the job and it seems we lose that somewhat but we will see. I also like the proactive healing it does compared to whitemage. Hyped to try AST again after hating the EW iteration of it. Stormblood astro is still my fave by far.
