You're right about DT cards though, it's not designed for either of us.
Sorry, I did not mean to quote reply you to imply that. It was more stated at the other person here, and in general. These changes have just put me in a bad and tired mood, and I'm still mulling over what I even want to do. At this point it's hard to muster up any excitement for dawntrail at all. Especially seeing people parade around their joy at the death of my main, knowing that I'll have to see these people talking about how much they love new AST and how it totally had so many problems with the job that they ran into in their once a day trials roulette bc none of them did anything harder than an alliance raid. I feel for pre-EW summoner mains so badly right now. Having my job be blatantly removed and people talking about how happy they are that we were turned into a white mage clone while actively trying to delude themselves into thinking that somehow we were given 'more choice' and 'more interesting options' is just... bleh.

I don't understand how people can think these cards are in any way more interesting or fun or unique than EW cards without major critical thinking issues. Getting the same set of 4 cards every time and knowing exactly what they are and when to use them is not what I played AST for. I liked the busyness, the set-up and release style of healing, the on-the-fly thinking and the feeling of control as I piloted cards. Now I just have... the healing. I guess. Which won't even matter with how bloated the toolkit is now. It just sucks. I was expecting DT to make the job worse, not remove it entirely.

8.0 can't come soon enough, I guess, but I fail to see how square enix can 'restore identity to the jobs' when they don't seem to know what the identity is. Is it just white mage for people who like sparkles instead of flowers? That's all it seems to be.
