SCH or AST?

[Crushnight]

This is an extreme exaggeration. Not once have I seen or heard of any group that declined entry to an ast solely on the grounds that they're playing ast. It's much more the case that players don't want to play ast, not that groups don't want an ast.

I truly wish this was true but i have seen multiple groups exclude but allow double whm/sch though these ain't common because ast can reasonably clear all content, but it does happen unfortunately.

To OP best go with sch for now you basically get a 2 for 1 with smn being leveled with it so you can switch when you might feel bored etc, i personally prefer ast but it does have a few problems right now nothing unplayable but you will have to work harder for a similar result as playing sch.
