should i even level ast?

Honestly, if one could just convince themself that the cards give twice as much effect as they do, and they're not using controller, the mechanics pretty solid. (The only real complaint for M&KB players is that the effort seems to exceed the reward provided, but even that seems quite debateable given how much rDPS it puts out even now.) There's no part of it the card kit doesn't leave you plenty of agency after you get Minor Arcana. And, by the time you're used to it and have Sleeve Draw, it's hard not to get a perfect Divination each time, though working to that end will keep you decently busy during bursts.

I actually am a controller user.. i play on PS4 Pro. I do not find it overly bad but i also do not heal Savage level content, lol
