This way we can learn from each other and cheer on our AST buddies .
Not to be too much of a pessimist but 'can' isn't necessarily the best benchmark. If you 'can' clear something using an odd setup (be that DPS, tanks, or heals), but it costs you a few more days of wipes vs a more optimal setup... is it really worth it?

And, just out of curiosity, have any AST/SCH compositions cleared it? If not... that suggests AST is relying heavily on the strength of the WHM, similar to DPS-heavy scholars.
