I dont think its nearly as bad as is implied in the 15 other AST threads.
Its just pretty hard to play right.
At the risk of derailing the intended positive vibe of this thread, AST doesn't boast a terribly high skill floor and offers little bonus in exchange for reaching for the ceiling. Anyone who can play a level 50 WHM can perform the essential healing functions of AST at level 60, and the card system isn't complicated once you've memorized everything.

AST just appears on paper as if it has much more complexity than it functionally does. There's no magic secret to playing AST that brings it up to the level that WHM and SCH are on. Hence all the positive constructive criticism
