AST's weakness in end game

[TatoRazzino]

That's not true at all. In A2S no Spire or Ewer gets wasted. BRD/MCH only has to use their refresh skills around the second to last mob, which means that if you could get any Spires or Ewers you can prevent them from ever using their skills, or at least allow them to use them for less time, which will increase overall DPS. Those cards work just fine as means to prevent TP/MP shortage, you just have to know the fight to use them. In case they are not needed, they work just fine as Royal Road fodders for AoEing any of your other cards.

It's not your fault that they have to sacrifice DPS to support the party, but eliminating the need for this DPS loss is a value neither WHM nor SCH can add to the party. People wanted uniqueness, so embrace one of the unique aspects of the AST job
