They basically tried their best not to let SCHs stack crit to avoid this OPness, they're not going to then allow AST to have such mitigation freely. I agree Noct. AST could do with a little something, maybe, but abilities that can render mechanics useless are not the way. At least with SCH crits you always have the argument that it's down to luck/rng.
