Following Nasrin: I'm done with AST too

[Leiloni]

Again, that's just not an argument. In fact, all you're doing is a agreeing with the people saying that AST is lacking right now.

A class lacking tools doesn't mean that it has some super high skill cap, or requires a ton of expertise to play. It just means that it's lacking tools. I don't think any designer intentionally creates a class that's underpowered with the intent of attracting "more skilled players" to it.

I agree that the class is undertuned and needs fixes. I've been saying that everywhere. But I also think that because of that, it's currently harder to play. I never said that they were intentionally designed that way. Nobody did. Stop putting words in my mouth.

We're just saying that right now, it's harder to play and make the most out of it. That's a fact - AST's need to work harder to achieve the same or less results than a WHM or SCH. I think because of that, there are likely a lot of bad AST's out there that are making the class seem worse than it is and are adding to it's poor reputation. Yes it needs buffs and we are all anxiously awaiting that. But I see a lot of stupid complaints on this forum that are really non issues. We instead need to be discussing the things that actually are problems with this class.
