It's not bad to use them or anything like that, but the question that needs to be asked is how much of an impact are cards actually having on a fight? And more to the point, do ASTs get enough value out of their cards to justify using AST over other healers?

Right now, I feel like the answer is "yes", but not due to the value of the cards themselves but because AST's healing is strong enough that it's either comparable or possibly better than that of other healers.

I can find the post if needed, but someone had mathed out the value of Spear on a NIN, a class with lots of short CDs that benefit from it, and discovered that even 100% Spear uptime didn't increase DPS as much as Balance does.

I feel like they kind of gave up on the cards and instead just gave AST healing comparable to the other healers, opting to just leave the cards as flavor more than anything.

I guess it works, but it's far from ideal. Maybe they'll do a proper rework later on?
