I'm glad people are raising concerns with AST just in normal grouping situations as well. I feel it doesn't get enough attention with so many people running in premades where execution is always flawless and claiming AST can handle all content before savage Alex with ease.

If you get a bad group in DF as an AST you will easily start testing the limits of your job and seeing shortcomings without the need to step into the most challenging content of the game.
