So, it read pretty bad in theory, but it turns out it really is not great. XD

Dark Knight is boring as Hell at level 64; it's been way oversimplified and I think it's kind of bad that their showcased class is not so hot right now.

AST not only lost the strategic diversity of its cards (spread no longer a thing because the cards no longer have timers, royal road no long er a thing, and all of the cards being for DPS boosting), but we lost some of our other strategical skills like our aoe stun and our time dilation. On top of that, the cards became inefficient by not having the draw card also be the play card - we now have a separate skill for that.

Bard lost support skills. I expected to see the TP refresh gone, but MP is still in play so why did we lose our MP song? Along with foe requiem (the only way we use our MP), some of our song effects, palisade, et cetera. These are all used and useful skills and could still be used. I was trying DNC (along with everyone else) in alliance, and there were times where I was like "oh! I wish I was playing as BRD to MP refresh for the healer that just revived," for example.

I just don't really get what the devs were thinking. I don't get why they removed TP because managing that in itself as a tank or DPS was fun; now it's just a DPSing shit fest with no reservation. I expected there to be changes with skills because there is every time, but this was definitely the worst one yet.
