The AST's cards weak

[WolfKid]

Does anyone else feel that the cards are too weak, i dont know, i barely feel like im making a difference giving them to my party. I'm not saying they should have way higher potencies or something, otherwise AST would be considered OP or broken. They're nice and all, but, i dont know. I really do like the job and all, but i feel unsatisfied with those cards. Other people view them differently of course, i'm just saying my piece.

Where exactly do you feel that? In dungeons, yes, they'll be fairly week because encounters are very fast. You'll get the most out of them in raids or ex primals, but your group has to be good. Bad DPS make an AST useless simply because 10% of nothing is... nothing. I have been playing WHM in Thordan EX and my group's overall DPS is lower; we used to finish phase 1 with 68-69% when I played AST, and as a WHM we finish it with 71% (72% sometimes), so my cards were adding around 2%, give or take.

Man, you have a badass AST there.


P.S. I know it's a typo, chuckled.

I can assure you that AST cards are really poweful.
If you ever play dps and get an Arrow or Balance, you'll really feel the difference.
And buffing 8 people with 5% more damage may not look like it, but it's an incredible dps gain.
So while I might agree that some cards feel really weak (unbuffed Ewer or Spire) or hard to use efficiently (Spear), the overall gain is there.

The 5 other threads of People wanting to make the job more op is obviously not enough. Let's make a few more.

tbh, most ppl do not view them. ^^; but AST still OP.
This job should have the least healing power bcoz it has the cards, however, it's healing power without the cards still same as others, therefore it is OP.

Is..... Is AST really that powerful?! I never noticed. I was fine with the healing as it is now, i just didnt like the system on the cards and stuff. Did AST really get that powerful, cause i never felt that. I always feel inferior to either a WHM or SCH

The healing is not 1 on 1 equal but given how much people generally overheal, AST can hold its own just fine. Got to be a little creative with your buttons is all.

Here is your problem Wolfkid =D

The card are a system with great power but hard to master...
You need to know all your card their effect and their target, you need to draw them without having animation problem to heal (delayed heal due to the spinning card -,-)
It require a little management, just like SCH and it's fairy.

The bonus of the card are really strong if done correctly (enhanced bole or balance is more than OP)
In term of healing, equally geared, you do as much as the other.
