(i'm assuming you use redraw and sleeve draw to make sure the proper person has the proper card)
Every 3 minutes the party has 6% dmg up.


WHM : has wings.

you see where I'm going? Sure, it seems AST cards have a lower potency than the 4.0 version, but any buff is better than no buff at all. And healing potencies of AST have nothing to be ashamed of, compared to WHM.

I'm pretty sure "meta comps" will still be AST / SCH

Or, you could just carry 2 Scholars, or two WHM's, or one of each, and have everyone in your raid/static/group bring along a basic food item that gives +8% Direct damage as its bonus, and you have a 60m Astro-buff in your pocket that persist through deaths.

Two SCH has never and will never be meta due to shields not stacking.

With the 5.0 Astro you get...... a food buff?

Still wasn't meta, and this was back when Selene was better than Eos.

I understand frustration, but if this is how the discussion is going, it's not interesting nor constructive for anyone.

My point is any DMG buff (AST/SCH), as small as it is, is better than no DMG buff at all (WHM).

And im fine with the AOE skill you get with the 3 seals being that 'extra damage' that all the Meta players care about to the exclusion of every single other thing.

But dont gut my ENTIRE card system to make it that 1, single, buff.

Otherwise you may as well remove the entire UI and come out and admit that the 'change' to the card system isnt a change to it, its a removal of it. Its literally 1 single target buff, and then an AOE version of that buff. Thats it.

The entire 'mechanic' that made Astro's different than WHM's is removed. Replaced with just 2 skills to put on the hotbar that dont care what the Flashy UI is thats there.
