There is nothing superior about the new system, nor can it be salvaged. Damage-only is incredibly boring; it lacks actual strategical input. I spend more time looking for seals/Arcana conversion than I ever did trying to get a particular buff I wanted with the old cards. Single card deployment is exceedingly cumbersome, especially on controller. There's also the issue of how this change completely and utterly butchers both the storyline for AST and its core lore. The same goes for removal of the time stretching with Celestial Opposition and Time Dilation.

For those of you that actually prefer the new cards: I genuinely question if y'all ever played AST long enough to understand what made the old system better.
It's good for a raider standpoint, but outside that, nah.
Therefore the job is gutted into a Balance bot and is boring.
Don't really care for the Savage related crap I keep getting. I just wish the job was fun again.
