WOOT! They listened!!!! (AST Buffs)

[RichardButte]

RR Bole/Balance is fine IMO. Trading Bole (which is rarely necessary) for +50% on next Balance/Arrow/Spear/Spire/Ewer is generally a good trade since the effect of Bole wouldn't have made an impact anyways.

Eh, while Bole isn't necessary, I still like to throw it on the tank just because those 15 seconds do give us less of a chance that spike damage will put the tank in a bad spot. It temporarily saves us mana, which is also never a bad thing.

Trading Balance at the end of an encounter for +50% on the next encounter is also good.

Only if Spread is full or on CD. I always hang onto Balances for the expanded RR as it's still our most potent buff.

I'd prefer they raise the CD of RR and make it instantly draw a new card when used that can be shuffled/spread.

This would be VERY cool as well...

I just realized that the effect swap on RR is actually a buff: Spire and Ewer are great for emergency recovery now, but they're still not 100% necessary, especially if everything in the fight is going well, meaning it hurts less to RR these cards than it will to RR an Arrow which IS a DPS/healing increase.

That said, Spear still needs fixing because it's just way too situational...
