The idea behind Astrodye in itself is pretty good. The only stupid thing about it, is how it was executed. It should grant only ONE of the effects depending on which symbols you use, as well as being allowed to use it on party members, that would have made the Skill alot more interesting.

I agree with you on the new Minor Arcana. It only exists because Squeenix knows that if they kept it the way it was in ShB, People would spam Lord of Crowns as often as they possibly could, thus limiting it the way it is now. It serves ONLY as a restriction of the Job which only shows how incompetent the People who design the Jobs in this game are (at least, on the matter of Healers and Tanks).
