Random Cards Were The Only Reason AST Felt Good/Different

[LynxDubh]

I still think it would of been better to just had two different cards per draw and have them randomised. One for damage one for utility/healing.

I could see this working.

Damage:
Balance-Damage dealt buff 6% Melee/Tank, 3% Ranged/Healer

Arrow-Damage dealt buff 6% Ranged/Healer, 3% Melee/Tank

Spear-Crit chance 5/10%

Utility:
Bole-Damage taken reduction 10%

Ewer-Healing over time

Spire-Healing action recovery buff 10%

And then keep the minor arcana as is but make them random. Or separate them again and make them switch like it does now with Astral/Umbral, then you could use them more tactically.

Assuming no change in drawing options, it would mean that the draw of Arrow/Bole would result in a 50% chance for you to get a DPS cards, which means undesirable outcome half the time.
If we were to chance the system to a 2 buttons, so one drawing Balance/Arrow/Spear and the other Bole/Ewer/Spire then we're kind of back to where we started but actually worse.
You get the same about of damaging cards and your utility also became RNG thus unreliable and useless.
