Is SCH + AST the meta?

Balanced? Really?
See P3S WHM vs AST.

Okay AST is better in p3 but you can’t judge balance just because of one mechanic. I progged on WHM until that mech and felt really comfortable. It’s not like if I was on AST we would’ve known to macrocosmos it the first time

After switching to AST I really suffered in p4p1, there is just so much to think about that I just couldn’t keep up held us back a lot. Well maybe I’m just bad and using the job as an excuse. It turned out okay in phase 2 but still I wonder if we would’ve been faster if I had stayed on WHM. But ultimately I have more fun on ast so I don’t regret it.

Anyway I just think we’re so lucky to be able to play basically any comp, even double shield. Meanwhile PLD and SMN are very weak, and phys ranged can only play BRD. And melees have some variety because comfort matters, but having RPR or MNK helps so much. Healers are really lucky and we shouldn’t ruin it by mistaking people into thinking they have to play this or that.
