AST feedback

[Zolvolt]

Its really funny how they they actually had use all old stormblood ast cards for pvp ewer = mp restore spire=limit break restore, now they replace those two and its bole=10% migi arrow 10%=weapon cd/skill/spell speed cd and slap on even movement speed to boot. They literally used all 6 cards with stormblood effects!!!!!! cept making spire instead give limit break.

So why not give back old stormblood cards then cept let spire give dh buff and balance gives movement speed not damage, this way entitle people dont cry balance balance balance balance balance.

the stormblood cards are not equally beneficial in PVE vs. PVP. Skillspeed and Cooldown reduction are either really nice for a job or more often really terrible for a job. It would actually be extremely bad for everyone in PVE right now with the 2m meta.

Bole is a bad card in pve as well because its damage reduction was not impactful enough to adjust how you healed encounters. The result of using it was almost always the same result as not using it.

Crit card was good because it was a damage gain.
Balance card was broken. you can't balance a damage gain against non-damage gains.

The old cards were really bad. It was fun to be able to cycle them and turn some cards into buffs for other cards but ultimately the system was impossible to balance.

That is why we have all damage cards now. The alternative is to have none of the cards be damage cards. The problem with no damage cards is people could not play them and things would be relatively the same. role specific damage cards mean you have to actually play them correctly to do well at least.

edit2:
Cards could be way more interesting however if they were mostly personal. There is a lot of potential in changing cards from buffing party members to effecting the astrologian. You could do anything from augmenting astro spells, to opening up access to certain ast spells, or just buffing the astrologian. Minor Arcana affecting other party members would also have a place in that system. I wonder if they have thrown these ideas around at all to see what kinds of intersting things they could come up with.
