Really, AST requires more knowledge than SCH? Lol. It took me a day to learn the cards and another couple of days to learn when to use them and when to RR/Spread. There is very little to the class at the moment, and I really hope they change this, because I love the idea of AST.

Thing is, the people that are complaining are people who want to take their new favourite class into proper progression, but can't because it is sub-par and don't have team-mates to carry them. AST seems fine for everything else because 90% of the content in XIV is so easy that you could do it while hanging upside down being hit with a bat.
