    Advice for AST noob?

    So, I know about all the cards and what they do, but I was wondering what classes I should use them on first(like what class has priority)

    This is what I am thinking of so far.
    Bolt: Tank
    Balance: Ninja or BLM priority, any other DPS class if NIN/BLM not there
    Arrow: A DPS class
    Spear: Dragoon or Ninja
    Ewer: any magic class with low MP(WHM priority). Tank if all magic classes are doing fine with MP
    Spire: Whatever DPS is lowest on TP

    Here's the briefest run down on card basics I can give:

    Bole: Tank - yes.
    Balance: Any and all DPS benefit from Balance. I tend to give it to MNK and DRG most because they don't benefit from skill speed as much as others will. NIN and BRD (pre WM BRD) also. But really any DPS can have Balance and all will love it.
    Arrow: BLM gets the most benefit out of the speed. BRD, MCH, and NIN also benefit. Avoid giving it to DRG because extra skill speed kills their TP fast. MNK has a similar problem.
    Spear: Good for anyone with oGCDs. DRG, BRD, MCH, MNK.
    Ewer: Yes. But don't give it to BLM because they shouldn't have a mana issue. You can give it to a DRK if he turns off Darkside, but if he doesn't the Ewer will have no effect.
    Spire: Yes.

    Yeah, should have mentioned like Cynfael said, Spire, Ewer, Bole, and even Spear are usually going to be RR fodder. I pre RR and in case of need is what my list is for.

    Bole: In theory, tank. In reality, almost always Royal Road fodder or Redraw it
    Balance: pretty self-explanatory
    Arrow: BLM loves you forever for this. As Marina noted, TP-munching Jobs may not appreciate it so much
    Spear: Redraw or RR it unless you have a very specific reason for using it
    Ewer: Redraw or RR it unless someone actually needs it
    Spire: Redraw or RR it unless someone actually needs it

    Basically take any super-situational card and do something else with it if you can't see a need for it.
