    "Viable" in an MMO doesn't mean "it's within the realm of possibility to use this class in an encounter".

    It's technically "viable" to run savage with an entire player down, if the rest of the group is insanely-well geared, but you wouldn't do that because it'd be idiocy to not fill up all of the raid slots.

    No, "viable" means they compete for raid spots with the other classes of that type, which AST certainly did NOT.

    Viable means feasible. At the end of the day though, you would run it with 7 people if it was viable/feasible and there was something in play that made it worth the effort.

    Hello hello?

    Is the plate stuck? I keep hearing the same nonsense over and over instead of actually arguing about the topic.
