Question to AST mains:

[Estecka]

Love the overall aesthetic (I basically designed my character for this job).

The card system feels like the only job gimmick that's actually focused on playing with your team. Although I was a bit disappointed that all it does is increased damages.

One thing I'm very sad about is Collective Unconscious. With initial application going way beyond the bubble, it removed almost all need for proper positioning, and what could have made the skill feel unique to use; now it's just a second charge to Celestial Opposition. Sure it's still possible to channel it, but there's still no real use case to that.
I'd rather they had kept the limited range, and either increased the damage mitigation, or gave channeling some extra healing so it would at least keep up with Helios spam.
PS: PLD's Passage of Arms is basically how I enjoy using Collective Consciousness the most.
