I would have loved if new AST was exactly the same as old AST, just with the way new shuffle stacks charges and this lord/lady adjustment. It's just about the only thing that doesn't feel worse.

My heals feel way weaker at all levels, and slashing the duration of diurnal sect aspected casts feels absolutely trash. Anything MSQ on alts takes triple the time (I used a stopwatch) at max ilevel per area as AST than as Dancer, which is the least DPS-y DPS. This discrepancy is way larger than it ever was before. The new cards aren't cool conceptually or mechanically because they're a boring tiny buff, they feel bad to use because there's zero difference or thought between them, the fact you can't apply them outside combat means I've wasted countless cards already just because the bard decided not to attack at the start of the fight, and the laughable 'bonus' they apply is less than what a Dancer gives constantly. I shouldn't be outdone by a DPS class at the only thing that makes my job unique. I'm not switching to white mage, screw that, I'm just dropping Healer as a role entirely between this and what they did to SCH until they stop feeling miserable to play.

Divination is a slap in the face because on a CD comparable to a PLD using Hallowed Ground I can give a tiny damage boost for barely any time after setting up every single card around babying it. It'd be like if MCH's absolute max potency for Wildfire, if you nailed it absolutely perfectly, was 300. They want me working harder for barely half the benefit? Nah, man.

Also I REALLY miss Time Dilation, playing with cooldowns felt flavorful for the job and was really fun to play around with. It was crazy satisfying to buff a DPS to insane heights and watch them rip things apart.
