    DPS boosting is what the cards were predominantly used for in previous expansions.
    • Balance was a dps boost.
    • Arrow was a dps boost unless felt the need to use it on yourself while turret-healing (pretty much never required, especially with Diurnal's old baked-in spellspeed buff).
    • Spear (crit) was a dps boost unless you threw it on yourself for some reason. Spear (cooldown reduction) was typically Royal Road fodder.
    • Spire and bole were almost universally RR'd/minor arcana'd.
    • Ewer saw rare use if it popped up when someone was desperate for MP and their other options were down, but was otherwise treated as spire/bole (RR fodder).

    I will agree that the 5.0 revamp made the cards incredibly lackluster, particularly since we can no longer manipulate the kind of buff we're giving out (RIP Royal Road, the real victim), and losing Time Dilation + the revamp to Celestial Opposition were insult to injury, but if you weren't using the cards as a dps boost 99.5% of the time previously (assuming you weren't drawing all spire/ewer/bole), you were doing it wrong.
