Leveling AST, I really miss the old card system. I could always find a use for a card, and now it’s just me internally cringing every time I pull a melee/tank card and thinking “welp, i’m giving these only to the tank this dungeon, since I only have ranged dps.” It feels like such a waste compared to the potencies and abilities I used to have to be able to manipulate cards a bit with royal road, celestial opposition, and time dilation (and these abilities also created opportunities for some nice regens) before Shadowbringers hit.

Now, the cards just feel like fodder for divination. Which is more work than it’s worth imo. I’m also really missing being able to ewer myself when lucid dreaming is on cool down. Not having another backup resource for mp regen like whm has with thin air and sch has with aetherflow also stinks.

Granted, I’m only at 72, SB AST was so multifaceted and fun to play. I’m not a fan of this new iteration. I’d gladly take the SB one back in a heartbeat. Same for SCH.
