Everybody knows about the Balance card, which was nice, sure.

However, the Spear was almost as good all the time, and even better in certain situations (BRD got extra procs, SCH got more shield procs in full party content, etc.).

The cast-speed one (I forget the name offhand, sorry) was basically a single-target Bloodlust (for anybody who played WoW), and the spread version was basically a bloodlust every minute or so on demand.

The Bole, while certainly less valuable in a competent group...was FANTASTIC for those tanks that didn't know how to use cooldowns (like 75% of them in leveling roulette).

Ewer was fantastic if you ran into mana problems (like lots of people dying to stupid).

They ALL had a place...and again, this is coming from someone who isn't even an AST main, and never has been.
I do miss aoe bole during high pressure situations. Took the heat off.

And melee dps used to hate the arrow when TP was a thing, but now without TP they'd probably love it.
