Is it possible for you to save your stuff in pasts broadcasts?
I followed you some time ago but because of different schedules/timezones i can never catch it live.

Sure! I've always intended to upload to past broadcasts but I have a busy daily schedule and haven't had the time. I'll try and upload the full thing and the clear attempt ASAP

How fun! I really want to watch as well. Originally I leveled ast but switched to scholar. I'd really like to play ast again but I'm very nervous about not bringing as much as my scholar does in terms of raid dps and dislike the idea of modifying strat in progression content. Do people here feel it would be a viable alternative to scholar?

It depends on your groups orientation to raiding - If you are looking to push content fast and compete with the 'progression race' then AST is not a viable replacement for SCH in its current form. SCH is quite unique in it can output moderately high DPS in comparison to WHM and AST.

For AST to compete with SCH DPS it would need some revisions to their DPS abilities and MP regen. Whilst the card changes have been a great plus, they're still completely random - so besides the initial balance on pull (if you draw long enough to spread it) you may never draw it again for the entirety of a fight. This isn't very helpful for fights that have 'hard' DPS checks (think Savage A3 hand split).

Having a SCH makes DPS checks less intensive on your actual DPS. It may be the difference between making it versus wiping...so it's something you and your group has to discuss. That being said, if you as a SCH don't DPS anyway its probably fine to take AST/WHM, if not better

Thank you for your feedback. You've echoed many of my concerns about switching jobs. I'm expected to dps quite a lot. Maybe I could sneak it in during A1S next week.
