DRK and DRG are extremely easy to counter in Frontlines

You really have no clue do you ? DRK + AST is actually stronger than DRK + DRG because of doublecasted Gravity, Macrocosmos, and the ability to keep the DRK alive much more than it could've with a DRG. The best premades actually go with DRK AST AST [filler].

lmfao
DRK and triple AST works against rouletters that don't have guard bound because it requires just a little bit less of setup and also because Macro is an oGCD. It does nothing against competent players. But then you'd say that DRG does nothing against guard either, and you'd be correct, which is why the meta comp is DRK, DRG and WAR for guard breaking, plus a flex (typically just another DRK for an additional pull, DRG for more burst, or another WAR to rotate LBs and guard break every other salted). AST and the "ability to keep the DRK alive" is a meme and you're out of your mind if you think that any ranged job is meta in this FL patch. Hell, I remember this one match on JP where some dudes were playing 4 AST and they switched to SMN halfway through the match because the average JP rouletter guards so their Macrocosmos burst was barely doing anything.
An AST charges at you? Literally sneeze in their general direction and it dies lmao
