"Aged and otherwise damaged items used to craft vintage gear can now be purchased from shops."

As I stated elsewhere I hope the Nascent Flash change applies to PvP if not this patch and unlisted, in a future patch. It's kind of hard to always have a party member in Rival Wings.

All in all otherwise pleased.

So the idea with Divination is that you want it to align with raid buffs. To do that in your opener with Sleeve Draw only granting one card is impossible now. Raid buffs are up around 7-10 seconds into the fight, at that point you'll still be waiting for your Draw to come back up.

Basically if Sleeve Draw doesn't grant 3 cards then the earliest possible Divination is around 33 seconds in, significantly misaligned and costing the AST a ton of rDPS.

Fair enough, thank you.

You draw one card as you load in. When the battle starts you play that and immediately draw a second card, maybe redraw, play it. Now you have two seals. Sleeve Draw gives you a guaranteed third.

Are you working around other things you need to do first?

I'm not, merely working on the assumption that outside of savage the mere thought of waiting 30 seconds to pull will never happen.

I agree it doesn't cripple AST in the high end (though not being able to layer lord/lady with div will be bad) but it will make playing it in DF content even more of a chore. No other job feels so extra bad without an opener, sleeve draw mitigated that enough for me to AST some casual stuff but no longer.

Nascent Flash No longer requires a target party member to execute.
