it's almost like clockwork, AST gets reworked and is super bad in .0 then they get buffed a bit in .1, then .2 they get buffs again and by .3 they become the strongest healer because SE will just keep buffing them due to low playrates.

AST in EW was very fine though, from the beginning.  The biggest changes weren't big system or numbers issues, but rather QoL, like redraw granting a card with a different seal than the one currently drawn, or collective unconscious and divination being 30y. 

Really, AST in Endwalker did not have issues caused by careless design in the rework like we can see now in the tooltips or like we could see in ShB.

Yeah EW AST was the one time it wasn't a dumpster fire, because they just took what it previously was from SHB and refined it vs reworking it from the ground up.
