AST Card cycles help

Quick note: An Astrologian that's throwing out some kind of buff regularly is better than one that fishes for a very specific combination of cards that they like.

Now, addressing the whole Expanded vs Enhanced & Extended, everyone tends to think Balance when these buffs are brought up. If a boss has some particularly tough Tank-Busters that go on for a while, I'm more than happy to give a Tank Extended-Bole, this is particularly useful in endgame content where bosses follow Tank Busters with some raid wide damage. Enhanced Bole could just as easily be used to cut a significant amount of damage off of skills like Tyrfing (From the lovely Zurvan boss,) pair it with Disable for added effect (the skill is underused really.)

So, when I'm thinking of Enhanced and Extended I do not think of Balance as being my only card, these Royal Roads are far better when paired with the other cards in your arsenal. I could describe every combo but post limits.

I highly agree with this. I feel that if you're not throwing out cards frequently enough, then what's the point of being an AST in the first place? That is unless you're in a double AST group because that is a mess to deal with without communication.
