Yes, because of overgear, mostly, we're in the catch-up patch after all. There is exactly one N.AST on FFLogs who cleared A8s before 3.3, and exactly one more who actually cleared it on N.AST first. All other of the grand total of 6 N.ASTs on FFLogs (last time I checked) who killed A8s did it on other jobs (mostly SCH) first, and did one or two kills on N.AST for funnsies. The numbers speak for themselves: N.AST is still not really viable for progression endgame raiding, and probably never will be, because the entire aspect of the job has no direction, no internal synergy, horrible DPS potential, and neither the utility of a SCH nor the consistency of a WHM.
