What do you want in your AST?

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that likes the new card system. My complaint about Astrologian is that it feels clunky and less intuitive to play than the other healers. What I love about White Mage this expansion is it finally feels like there is some fluidity to their kit. Abilities you learn enhance others as you progress. Plenary Indulgence and Afflatus Rapture is a very satisfying combo. Horoscope and Aspected Helios just don't feel as good in comparison.

My other issue with Astrologian is the removal of their time magic. Using Time Dilation and Celestial Opposition to extend the duration of our cards was among my favorite mechanics with Astrologian. I know lengthening the duration of abilities like Lightspeed and Lucid Dreaming are no longer necessary, but it just felt better having the choice to do it. And aesthetically and thematically I just enjoyed playing a healer who can manipulate time and space. We lost a big component to our job identity this expansion, which for me, is the biggest issue.
