This is literally the worst PVP I've ever seen in an MMO...

[Cidel]

Honestly 10 DPS, including myself, where chasing down a single AST.

I won't lie, AST has some crazy survivability, but if you have up to 10 DPS actually hitting it (chasing but not hitting doesn't count), then most of those DPS are poor at what they do.

No amount aspected noct benefict, Lightspeed frontloaded heals, one essential dignity, and whatever cooldown that isn't a CC (swiftcasted Blizzard II/ Stasis) will help them survive much more than 4-5 competent DPS who are in range.

Some people really over exaggerate what AST is really capable of.
