    You could make cards based on Job categories (MDPS, Tanks, RDPS, CasterDPS, Healer, given that healer and tanks would likely have a stronger buff on that particular card for example), so that who you give the "right card" is a bit more strict then just handing it off to the highest phys or ranged dps. Maybe that's a bad idea for high end astro's I don't know I'm no expert on the job so forgive me lol.
    There's not really enough ways to do the first option that would allow for it to work well, I think. Plus, Crit/DHit scaling causes issues constantly re: balancing expected outputs

    However, I do agree with the second part, making it based on job role rather than this 'melee/ranged' split we currently have. It doesn't feel thematic like this, why is Bole, the protective one, a ranged card? Why is Arrow, the thing you fire from a bow, a melee one? So, a while back I wrote this thread basically echoing the sentiment. I would like to see the Minor and Major Arcana cards actually be properly linked. Why does Lord of Crowns deal damage, and Lady heal, when they're both the same suit, and also the same suit as the Spire (which is now flat damage, but used to be TP restore????)

    Combust would probably have to go if all of the Minor Arcana changes I listed in that thread got in, but hey, I'm not entirely sure how many people actually 'like' Combust. I feel like it's kinda just... there. It's not exactly interesting, is it
