about AST rework

and that's how it should be. They wanted something simple, they can play WHM, a job was made to be simple and relaxing.

The problem is that SE (and some players, it seems) firmly believe in "participation rates", i.e. you aren't allowed to have your niches, it needs to be homogenized to hell until the number of players between any two job is as close to 1:1 as possible.

So, even if you prefer mint over vanilla and are sitting there enjoying your ice cream bothering no one, screw you. They aren't going to ask you and other mint ice cream enjoyers how the flavor could be improved, they are going to ask vanilla enjoyers what it would take for them to try mint more often. So they dilute the mint, and it doesn't work, because they inevitably switch back to straight vanilla, because duh, they prefer vanilla. So you just have shit mint.

And eventually, you end up with the flavour that offends no-one, and pleases no-one: just plain ice. Frozen water.

The issue is that why is it wrong they prefer white mage? If it's too confusing they have something else to play. It makes no sense they do this to healers. Heck they do this to all the jobs look at black mage. Look at samurai. Look at how directionals have been gutted. shb ew and now this dw has gutted and simplified jobs to the point why even have so many? give us one tank one mellee one range one magic dps one healer. Heck with warrior you dont even need a healer. oh well.

I didn't see this specifically covered in the media tour videos, but Lightspeed is no longer required for the burst windows, right? It would be great if at least it would really become a movement tool and combat rez speed up.

I just hope that the release build will have some way to regain our mana, because without Astrodyne and loosing some card draw mana overall we are again in a huge mana deficit.
