Thread: Ast cards 6.0 rework

Ok we all know that ast card system is too unfairly flat and busy and needs a rework, so here’s mine:

-play: Max three stacks
-draw: it auto draw the card every 30 secs and place it on play (during fights);

Cards:

-Bole/Balance: dps enhancing buff for 15 secs (bole for ranged/balance for melee)
-Arrow/ Ewer: speed enhancing buff for 25 secs (arrow for ranged/ ewer for melee)
-Spire/Spear: critical hit enhancing buff for 25 sec
(spire for ranged/spear for melee)

Gauge: Every card once played grants a Seal on the gauge

Bole/balance- sun seal
Arrow/Ewer- moon seal
Spire/Spear- star seal

Divination: grants enhancement for each seal to all party members, based on the seals collected when using the skill
3% with sun seal
5% with moon seal
5 % with star seal

This means:

-If u have 3 sun seals on gauge divination will grant
3% for each seals so 9% damage up for 25 sec to all
-if u have 1 seal of each divination will grant
3% of dps + 5% of speed + 5% of critical hit up for 25 secs to all
- if have 2 seals of moon and 1 seal of star divination will grant 10% of speed + 5% of critical hit up for 25 secs to all

Prioritise your divination choices based on the job combination of your party and mechanics, at the same time granting u always a dps gain.

Oh I forgot, sleeve draw now just give u 2 stacks of play (3 is too much considering the power of this divination).

I'd rather them revert to the 4.0 card system and make adjustments to the Spire and Ewer card.

BUT, I will always bump a thread regarding changes from this lame 5.0 card system.

The RNG nature of card buffs is exactly why they changed them. SE won't go back to it (rightfully so).

Don't speak as if you know what the development team are going to do or not going to do.

I like how when people suggest changes, they still put in an effect that will make all others useless because that's what people will fish for.

Two cards increase damage? Redraw until you get those.

The End.

I don’t understand, all effect are dmg increase, but compared to what we have now these are more various and capable of giving a basic choice or strategical mindcraft also u have only three stack of redraw, don’t know your gameplay but as Ast I believe u can’t afford to wait any secs more for divination once it’s out cooldown.
Back to 5.0 the good ast philosophy was to not spent too much time behind trying to pick a balance but doing your best in trying to assure always a good aoe buff despite the card u shared might be a speed or a critical buff.

Also that quote was 5+ months old

You missed the part where he said they will continue with the current system for the foreseeable future...

The quote being old has little bearing because this is the same exact feedback that was given then as it currently has. Nothing has changed on that front. Unless they've come up with a better solution, but that solution isn't going to be to go back to what it was before.

It's interesting because people say only "speedkillers" followed "balance or bust" yet the devs have confirmed that they received plenty of feedback saying that it was a common theme with the job. I don't think it was just that small community that felt that way.
